Magnificent Meatless Burger

🍔 Magnificent Meatless Burger🍔

I gave eating up beef, pork and lamb 2 years ago, one of the best decisions I ever made. It really amazes me that we now have some great meat alternatives available to us! This is a homemade @impossible_foods burger complete with dairy-free @daiyafoods cheese and a gluten free bun, topped with my faves - thousand island dressing, onion, tomato and avocado -- tasted GREAT!! Feels good to know that these alternatives are saving the lives of animals and are so much better for the planet!!

❗️Why the Livestock Industry is Harmful❗️

❌ Around 30% of the earth’s land surface is currently used for livestock farming - considering the scarcity of food, water and land in many parts of the world, this is an inefficient use of resources.

❌ 1-2 acres of rainforests are cleared every second for animal agriculture.

❌ Raising livestock generates 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions each year.

❌ Feeding grain to livestock increases global demand and drives up grain prices, making it more difficult for poorer people to have access to basic grains.

❌ Most meat, dairy and eggs are produced in ways that are harmful to animal welfare; small spaces and uncomfortable cages.

❌ In the US, 80% of all antibiotics are consumed by the livestock industry. This contributes to the growing public health problem of antibiotic resistance.
