The United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) has reported that 18 percent of greenhouse gases are coming from animal agriculture- meat and dairy, used in making burgers.

According to the Environmental News Network, the report states that what most people are eating contributes more to global warming than the entire transportation sector of the United States.

The report also said that there now more than ever, it is most critical top move away from the Standard American Diet to an eco friendly diet- a Vegan diet.

Switching to the plant based diet, nearly 20 per cent of the global warming problem may be eradicated.

Whats more, this change would curtail further deforestation, top soil erosion and also on a human level, prevent high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease and various cancers.

They aren't asking everyone to stop eating burgers, just to have veggie ones instead. So now a healthy dietary choice seems to benefit the environment too.
