8. THE SCIENCE BEHIND VEGANISM

9. The China Study Conducted over the span of 20 years by T. Colin Campbell This study examines the correlation between consuming animal products and the development of certain chronic illnesses C oncludes that countries that consumed higher amounts of animal based foods were more likely to have higher death rates and presented more “western” diseases. On the other hand, countries that consumed mostly plant based diets had the opposite effect, prolonging longevity and reducing major health issues.

11. THEY HAVE A VEGAN SOCIETY

12. Conclusion In bringing this discussion to a conclusion, it can be said that though there is a large amount of scientific evidence that points towards a plant based diet having significantly more benefits than an animal product based diet ,these studies lack of long term evidence . Science also allows us to know a non-vegan can also live a healthy life by consuming a balanced diet. There might be a debate always between vegans and meat eaters but whether it is possible to imply rules on someone's diet is something to think about.
