For people: Elimination of animal products from the diet can lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and some forms of cancer, and the lower on the food chain you eat, the less concentration of pesticides and toxins. Elimination of factory farms might help slow climate change and reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance, as well as lessen the amount of raw sewerage dumped into water supplies.

For animals: Less torture and exploitation.

PS: I am not vegan. But I do try to eat low on the food chain.
