The number of humans on the Earth has exploded, rising from 2.5 billion in the 1950s to 8+ billion in 2024. Now, data shows that as individuals, people are eating more animals than ever.
We have extrapolated data from the FAO (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) into clear graphs and tables and it puts the use of animals for food into sobering perspective. This is simply not sustainable. With a rising population and the adoption of more animal-based foods, animal agriculture is rapidly destroying the earth and making life a living hell for the animals on this planet.

Some key points from the FAO data:

📈 Animals killed for consumption increased more than five-fold in the last 50 years
The article offers practical suggestions on how we can be part of the solution to this global challenge.
