A UNITED Nations report recently said that the only way to save mankind from the ravages of hunger, poverty and climate change was for us all to go vegan.
It said that with the global population expected to reach 9.1 billion by 2050, it will be impossible to keep up with demand for meat and dairy products.
"Impacts from agriculture are expected to increase substantially due to population growth increasing consumption of animal products.
"Unlike fossil fuels, it is difficult to look for alternatives: people have to eat.
"A substantial reduction of impacts would only be possible with a substantial worldwide diet change, away from animal products."
But as comments on one of our letters here prove, it's not easy convincing people to give up their bacon butties, never mind eggs and milk too.
So if the UN was right in its forecast, would you consider changing your diet to cut out all meat and dairy products?
