Another good reason not to eat meat.
#1
We already understand that eating meat harms animals, it is bad for our health and it damages the environment.
The fourth reason may be the most compelling of all. When we consume animals we run the risk of animal viruses transmitting to humans.
We are in the midst of a pandemic now that jumped from animals to humans in the context of a food market.

This article is right on point about the dangers we face if we continue to eat meat the way we do now. So far we have had deadly viruses that do not spread easily.
We are currently dealing with a rapid spreader, but it is not as lethal. I know when you look at how many have died from Covid 19 it looks deadly, but when you compare the number of dead to the number of actual cases it is mostly survivable. As long as we continue to have markets that deal in wildlife or factory farms with terrible conditions that incubate diseases, we run the risk of encountering  a virus that spreads like Covid 19 and is as lethal as SARS or worse. It will make what we are going through now seem like a holiday. Our eating habits are putting all of us in danger and we need to change.
