Every year, the population in India grows by 17 million people.
Famine is widespread and increasing as the population rises.
Each animal bred and raised to be killed for meat or leather eats 10 acres' worth of vegetables and cereals. Those 10 acres could feed 100 people for more than one year. World hunger is directly related to the breeding and killing of animals for slaughter. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat but only 25 gallons to produce a pound of wheat. A totally vegetarian diet requires 300 gallons of water per day, while a meat-based diet requires more than 4,000 gallons of water per day.
