I read an article the other day. It said that we are facing a serious problem of limited food supply in near future. We will soon suffer against shortage of foods.
Now, there are 7 thousand million people in the world, and it is predicted to rise by 1billion by 2050. This increase in population is causing major issues about food supply in many parts of the world.

In the article, several precautions are suggested. One thing we can try immediately is to choose what we eat. According to researchers, most of a whole agricultural product over all is used to feed domestic animals, particularly cow, not for people. 6 kilograms of wheat are needed for producing 1 kilogram of beef. Why don’t we choice a salad filled with vegetable instead of a beef steak.

Although some scientists are optimistic; they believe that genetic biology can create high yield agricultural products and avoid this tragic event, I strongly feel concerned about this, and this inspired me to do something to this. For this reason, I made up my mind to stop eating meats.
