According to recent research, if the world stopped producing crops for animal feed or diverting them to biofuels, it could not only end global hunger, but also feed four billion extra people – more than the number of projected arrivals before the global population stabilizes. Meat consumption actually leads to more greenhouse-gas emissions annually than the use of cars does.
近期研究结果显示，如果世界停止种植动物饲料作物或将其转用于生物燃料，那么不仅可以结束全球饥荒，而且还能额外养活四十亿人口——超过全球人口稳定之前预计出生的人口数。肉类消费实际产生的年温室气体排放量甚至超过汽车的使用。
