Take up the ChallengeDonate

Why should you do the challenge?

Why should you take up the Malta Meat Free Week challenge? Why should you go our of your comfort zone and go meat free for a week?

There are many reasons why you should decrease the consumption of meat from your diet. This could be for health reasons, environmental reasons, animal suffering, world hunger or even to safeguard for your own health from the abuse of antibiotics by the livestock farming industry. Whatever the reason take a break from all meat (and fish) and help cleanse your body.

Your health

Reducing meat from one’s diet and increasing the consumption of plant based food is good for people’s health. By taking you the challenge individuals can think on how much meat they consume, and realise that there are healthier alternatives to meat. Even the World Health Organisation has labelled red and processed meat as a carcinogen.

The Environment

Livestock farming has a vast environmental impact and contributes to nearly 20% of human greenhouse gas production. 30% of the earth’s land surface is currently being used for livestock farming. Even by switching for one week you will be doing a mark let alone if you decrease your meat consumption.

Animal suffering

If you are against animal suffering, it is clear that industrial livestock farming falls short of what you would deem as animal welfare. We close our eyes to the inhuman conditions that these animals live in all their life before they are fed on a plate. Just as the word itself implies – livestock, animals are considered as objects for profit not living sentient beings.
