Meat Eating and World Starvation
CHICAGO JULY 3-6, 2008
• Harvard nutritionist, Jean Mayer, estimates that
reducing meat production by just 10% would
release enough grain to feed 60 million people • "Much Third World grain and other food is fed to
animals (to produce cheaper meat to be eaten in developed countries), not to hungry Third World people" Greater demand for meat leads to more deforestation, more water pollution, more soil degradation, and, ultimately, more hunger
