Hey people
Its been a while since I blogged, but what better cause to write about than this?!
The action was designed by PETA to show that the best way to save water, fight the worldwide water shortage and clean our consciences is to go vegan and vegetarian.
Myself and fellow Playboy model Victoria Eisserman stripped off at Trafalgar Square to highlight the fact it takes 50 baths of water to produce 1 steak.
Not only is the meat industry cruel, it wastes huge amounts of water and damages the planet”, “You can’t be a meat-eating environmentalist
It takes about 15,500 litres of water to produce 1 kilogram of beef, compared with just 1,000 litres to produce 1 kilogram of wheat. A recent UN report found that the meat industry is “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global”. Among these environmental problems are freshwater scarcity; the report calls the livestock industry “a key player in increasing water use” and “probably the largest sectoral source of water pollution”.
In addition, vegetarians and vegans are, on average, significantly trimmer than meat-eaters, and they are also less likely to suffer from heart disease, cancer, strokes and diabetes. Billions of animals raised for food each year endure routine abuse on crowded, filthy factory farms, where they are subjected to painful mutilations and face terrifying deaths.
