What Gelatin is made up of ?

Gelatin is a protein obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones with water. It is usually obtained from cows or pigs. Gelatin is used in shampoos, face masks, and other cosmetics; as a thickener for fruit gelatins and puddings (such as Jell-O); in candies, marshmallows, cakes, ice cream, and yogurts; on photographic film; and in vitamins as a coating and as capsules, and it is sometimes used to assist in “clearing” wines. Gelatin is not vegan.

Cows must consume 16 pounds of vegetation in order to convert them into 1 pound of flesh. Raising animals for food consumes more than half of all water used in the U.S. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat but only 25 gallons to produce a pound of wheat.(1 Gallon= 3.78541 liters )

Producing just one hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles. Of all raw materials and fossil fuels used in the U.S., more than one-third is devoted to raising animals for food.

A typical pig factory generates the same amount of raw waste as a city of 12,000 people. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, raising animals for food is the number-one source of water pollution.

Of all agricultural land in the U.S., 87 percent is used to raise animals for food. That’s 45 percent of the total land mass in the U.S. About 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to create cropland to produce feed for animals raised for food. The meat industry is directly responsible for 85 percent of all soil erosion in the U.S.

More than 80 percent of the corn we grow and more than 95 percent of the oats are fed to livestock. The world’s cattle alone consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people—more than the entire human population on Earth. According to the World Watch Institute, “Roughly 2 of every 5 tons of grain produced in the world is fed to livestock, poultry, or fish; decreasing consumption of these products, especially of beef, could free up massive quantities of grain and reduce pressure on land.”

This type of food is the root cause of high blood pressure, heart diseases, high cholesterol,     constipation, and obesity.

It disturbs concentration level, increases lust. Anger, stress, and fear transfers to our body because animals we eat lives in an environment of fear and stress.

The drugs and hormones which are given to these animals to promote their growth are transmitted to our body which may cause many mental disorders.

Non-veg food decreases resistance power of the body.

This type of food weakens our bones gradually because after eating non-veg food high alkaline salts get excreted through urine and leads to the deficiency of salt in the blood.

Fat consumed from meat increases cholesterol and affect the arteries and veins, it often blocks the same and affects the immune system.

The non-vegetarian food caused stomach infestation.

The atmosphere is affected by the meat industry. Meat wastes are thrown in open area and rivers, which causes sickness, pollution and also lowers quality of water.

Meat products are expensive and poor people cannot afford the same.
