7.000 litros de agua para producir medio kilo de carne! Y solo 175 litros para papas y batatas y otras verduras. Cuando los cultivos se destinan a alimentar animales en lugar de personas, perdemos alimentos, tierras y energía en el proceso. Como dice el Dr. David L. Katz: «Si simplemente comes las plantas, eliminas al intermediario». 🍽️➡️🌿

A pesar de utilizar la mayor parte de nuestras tierras de cultivo, la ganadería solo proporciona una pequeña porción de las calorías globales, a la vez que aumenta las emisiones y la presión ambiental.

💚 Elegir alimentos de origen vegetal es un poderoso acto de cuidado para tu salud y el planeta. ¿Qué opción basada en plantas elegirás hoy?

🌱 What if the simplest way to feed the world was also the smartest? 🌍✨

When crops are fed to animals instead of people, we lose food, land, and energy along the way. As Dr. David L. Katz says, “If you just eat the plants, you cut out the middleman.” 🍽️➡️🌿

Despite using most of our farmland, livestock provides only a small slice of global calories—while driving up emissions and environmental strain.

💚 Choosing plants is a powerful act of care for your health and the planet. What plant-powered choice will you make today?
