Veganism harms the planet and our health

Veganism is on the rise. There are tens of millions of vegans in the world, amounting to more than 1% of the world’s population, per some estimates. With demand for plant-based foodstuffs soaring, meat and milk substitutes are selling faster than ever before. According to the Good Food Institute, global retail sales of plant-based meat products alone hit $6.1 billion in 2022. Vegan groups call this trend a revelation for our health and the environment.
