A cannibal restaurant in Berlin!?
.
.
For Vegetarierbund Deutschland (Vegetarian Foundation Germany), Serviceplan announced the opening of a cannibal restaurant in Berlin. The overwhelming press response made the idea to an international topic.
Consuming human meat is an explosive issue. The more severe the reactions to the restaurant called "Flimé" have been, the better. Speaking of shocking issues such as cannibalism, the outcry is big. But nobody poses the question where meat which is consumed daily comes from, under which circumstances it is produced and what consequences it has on our environment.
Eating animals is like consuming people
Worldwide about one billion people are starving and every three seconds a person dies of malnutrition. This is partly due to our meat-based diet. And what is even more ridiculous: there actually are enough resources to feed the world. However, land, water and other resources are used to feed livestock. 1 kg of meat requires upto 16 kg of feed. Grains used for livestock would be enough to feed all starving people in the world.
The consequences of our extremely high meat consumption is more dramatic than most people assume. Industrial live-stock farming and the resulting climate gases, vast water consumption, rainforest deforestation for crop land and pastures, increased transmission of animal diseases and premature deaths by lifestyle diseases, are caused by our meat consumption and cost endless human lives.
