FAST FOOD: AT WHAT COSTS?

Words and photo by Alexandra Wilson |

It's inevitable, wherever you go, there will be a fast food restaurant on almost every corner of the globe. But at what cost is our eating habit have on the environment?

The chain of production is a serious concern for the planet. Firstly, fast food restaurants often sell meat products which are regularly produced at factory farms, and the implications of this mean that lots of animal waste contaminates water supplies and creates harmful gases into the atmosphere when over-applied to land. The large quantity of cattle, sheep, and goats emit methane, an infamous greenhouse gas and key contributor to global warming.

So, what can we do? There are plenty of vegan alternatives, meaning non-animal product-based meals, so next time you're tempted by a burger, why not try a vegan fast food option?
