The United States is losing soil 10 times faster than it can be replenished; the rate of soil loss in China and India is over three times that. Pimentel reports that over just the last four decades of the 20th century, some 30% of the world’s arable land became unproductive. Half of the topsoil in the breadbasket of North America has been lost since 1900.
Shelley also wrote about how a vegetarian diet is better for the environment, noting: “the quantity of nutritious vegetable matter, consumed in fattening the carcase of an ox, would afford ten times the sustenance if gathered immediately from the bosom of the earth.”6 It is interesting to see how, despite being so long ago, Shelley touches on many of the modern arguments for a vegan diet.
The commercial plant-based dog foods available today do an excellent job at meeting the nutritional needs of our dogs, without the deleterious environmental, health, and animal welfare impacts of meat-based dog foods.
It seems clear that the recent attacks on “veggie burgers” and dairy alternatives are not really about protecting consumers from being misled.

Earthsave Canada’s submission highlights the serious damage that animal agriculture does to the environment, including through greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, water pollution, biodiversity loss, and inefficient use of land and water resources.
Being vegan helps prevent the suffering of innocent animals, slows global warming, and benefits the environment in many additional ways....
Let’s face it – 2020 hasn’t exactly been the best year in recent history. Despite all the challenges we face, we must not be discouraged. The plant-based movement continues to grow and even offers hope for a better future.
