What are the benefits?

The vegan diet may offer protection against prostate, breast and colon cancer. It can also lower blood pressure and prevent type 2 diabetes, while also helping with weight loss without the need to reduce calorie intake.(Eat all you want, and STILL lose weight)The vegan diet is more rich in most nutrients.(However, make sure you get all the nutrients your body needs).

More people could be fed using less land, and it would contribute to reducing global warming: Livestock rearing contributes to global warming through the methane gas the animals produce, but also via deforestation to expand pastures, for example. Thus, if people stopped purchasing meat, the amount of livestock rearing would go down, which in turn would reduce the total amount of greenhouse gasses being released.
