dairy. According to scientists in “Cowspiracy”, with the earth coming to such a dangerous place, removing meat and dairy from our diets, could potentially mean saving the planet.
Cowspiracy claims that by decreasing the amount of meat and dairy we eat everyday, we can significantly reduce for the unnatural amount of cows and other livestock that are killing our planet. Cowspiracy also claims that livestock consume a significant amount more water than hydraulic fracture mining. In fact, every year, hydraulic fracture mining consumes over 100 billion gallons of water; whereas, raising livestock in the US alone accounts for a staggering 30 trillion gallons of water. One quarter pound hamburger takes 660 gallons of water to produce. That is the equivalent of showering for two straight months.

These students leave lunch everyday, on an empty stomach. Without the calories of lunch these students become food deprived. As a result, their grades drop and so does their health. Everybody needs food calories everyday and depriving students of vital calories and nutrients poses many issues. Calorie deficiency and the lack of nutrients would cause students to lack greatly in the concentration in studies. It could also cause them to be unable to retain knowledge learned in schools (5, Reasons). Lastly, their athletic abilities would likely be quenched by their inability to gain calories. Furthermore, parents of these students could very well be outraged if school lunches took out the food that their kids live on. Many parents believe that to enforce plant based diets would be to take away their freedom of choice in the way they eat. These parents believe that students love school lunches and to deprive them of these foods would be to take away their
