The scale of animal suffering and exploitation is vast, yet it remains one of the most neglected moral crises of our time. Beyond its ethical implications, animal farming is a key driver of some of the most pressing global public health challenges, including antibiotic resistance, zoonotic pandemics, and the rise of chronic diseases. Heart disease, the leading cause of death globally, is closely linked to the consumption of animal products—meat, eggs, and dairy—laden with saturated fat, endotoxins, and inflammatory compounds. By shifting away from animal farming, we not only alleviate immense animal suffering but also target systemic issues that exacerbate global public health risks. This transition addresses interconnected challenges such as global malnutrition, climate change, and the fragility of food systems, offering a high-impact solution with profound ethical, environmental, and health benefits.
