Due to a research paper published by Oxford University going vegan would save millions of lives per year by 2050. As a person’s decision on his or her diet habits has a great impact not only on his or her health but also on the entire environment, the Oxford University found out that going vegan would cut $1 trillion in costs linked to climate change and healthcare.
The research paper published by the Oxford University is indeed nothing short but stunning as it models the impact on health and environmental issues by switching to a plant-based diet between now and 2050.
People go vegan for different reasons. Some do it for health purposes, some for environmental reasons and some out of compassion for the animals who suffer terribly from the treatment of factory farmers. However, there is something that’s not up for debate which are the awesome health benefits someone reaps if he or she goes vegan.
It’s no secret that vegans are still often considered some kind of “aliens” although their intentions are more than noble.

Very interestingly, governments use to pass all kinds of bills in order to protect people from discrimination.

Some people can go vegan overnight without going through any health issues. Others need more time to adapt to the vegan lifestyle. So, when the “veganuary project” was launched encouraging people to go vegan for one month it was a good option many people were willing to go for. In this month, those people were not left on their own but guided along their way in order to avoid any health issues.
The rising number of people becoming vegan is remarkable. In 2009, this number was still negligible. Ever since, US-citizens jumped on that train that seems to be unstoppable. So, what’s the reason for that? Nadine Watters has written a great article discussing in a very comprehensible manner the reasons for this radical shift toward living life as a vegan.
So many times people use to hear in the news about the issues between Arabs and Jews.

When the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician Terminator Star arrived at the climate talks in Paris there was no doubt that this was going to be an extraordinary event this time.
