According to a study by the International Livestock Research
Institute, animal-borne diseases are responsible for 2.5 billion
cases of human illness and 2.7 million deaths a year. Unfortunately,
the rising demand for animal products is expected to increase the
spread of human-animal infectious diseases.

Eating God’s animals or their by-products brings misery and
death to all of creation. Just imagine how many people could be
saved just by transition to a plant-based diet! Human-animal
infectious diseases would disappear; the rate of most chronic
diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart-disease would plummet;
hunger would be a thing of the past; and billions of God’s creatures
would be spared of a life of misery and of a brutal death. There is
no need to kill animals for food. Transitioning to a plant-based
diet helps us to bring healing and reconciliation while celebrating
the wonderful gift of life!
