Climate change would decrease by 25 percent, deforestation would cease, rainforests would be preserved, our water- and air-quality would increase, life-expectancy rates would increase, and our rates of cancer would plummet, so certainly, with that one action of becoming vegan you are quite effectively making the world a better place.

It's almost like someone dealing with an addiction, like you hope that the person can overcome the addiction before the addiction kills them.

I'm pretty much a realist. There's a certain age you get to when you're not really going to be shown anymore.
