In his trademark look and with a cheeky attitude, Atze now presents his motif “Herbivore”.
“I have been living meat-free for around 2.5 years, for a variety of reasons: The first is ethical, because they always say animals are our friends. And you can’t eat your friends! My blood pressure was back to completely normal after six weeks of plant-based diet.”
Vegan people generally live healthier lives
A balanced vegan diet is healthy and suitable for all age groups and stages of life. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, people living vegan consume fewer unhealthy saturated fats and eat more health-promoting foods.
Animal products are climate killers
Agricultural livestock farming is one of the main causes of the greatest environmental problems of our time, including the climate catastrophe. In total, up to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to animal agriculture. Producing 100 grams of protein from beef generates 36 times more CO2 equivalents than producing 100 grams of protein from peas.
Over 720 million land animals killed per year
In Germany alone, over 720 million land animals are exploited every year for their meat, milk or eggs. Regardless of whether “organic” or conventional farming: 100 percent of animals are killed long before they reach their natural life expectancy.
