Animal products are often considered the most wasteful in terms of resources used. This is because raising animals for food requires a significant amount of land, water, feed, energy, and other resources compared to plant-based foods. Additionally, animal agriculture is a major contributor to deforestation, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and other environmental problems. Therefore, reducing consumption of animal products and choosing plant-based options can help to reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact of our food choices.
