 A report by the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has stated that 18% of greenhouse gases are coming from animal agriculture - meat and dairy, used in making burgers.

The report said that the Earth, and all who reside here, are in grave peril like never before.

It added that everybody has a moral, ethical responsibility and imperative to face up to the truth, even if it means changing their daily habits.

There has never been a time in man's existence when it is so critical to move away from the Standard American Diet (SAD) and embrace an Earth-friendly and sustainable plant-based diet - a vegan diet, the report said.

By switching to a plant based diet, mankind will instantly eradicate nearly 20% of the global warming problem.

If that isn't amazing enough, this simple yet profound change would greatly curtail further deforestation, top soil erosion and even the ever-worsening tainting of the world's waters.

Also, high cholesterol and heart disease, hypertension, obesity, adult-onset diabetes, kidney disease and many cancers would virtually disappear.
