We have previously mentioned that Turkey is the country with the lowest meat consumption in Europe by sharing up-to-date data. In fact, according to these data published by the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization, obesity was increasing rapidly in our country.

Some, however, chose to look at the situation from a different perspective. Ömür Gedik, who prefers a different framework, shared the meat consumption chart of Europe. “Annual meat consumption report… Our harm to animals and the environment is less than in other countries. You can talk a ton now, but I liked this situation…” used the phrases. This tweet drew intense backlash from other users.
“Our harm to animals and the environment is less than in other countries”
The impact of a vegan or vegetarian diet on protecting the environment is absolutely no bullshit. The forests destroyed for the establishment of the facilities and the greenhouse gases emitted by these facilities pose a risk to the environment. That’s why, while some are looking for more environmentally friendly solutions for animal husbandry, others say “there is no need to harm animals anymore” and cut the consumption of animal products. However, this a decision that a person can take with his own mind after becoming conscious. In our country, people cannot buy meat due to the decrease in purchasing power. In other words, if they are vegan, they will not be able to buy vegan products with the necessary nutritional values.
