Vegan Burger Promotion Video :shy:

A huge percentage (something like 80%) of Soy produced goes for animal feed. The rest is used for a variety of other uses (including meat free alternatives for human consumption). The destruction shown in the video wouldn't exist if the demand for meat wasn't as high as it is. The sad thing is the demand for meat is ever increasing globally.

What a lot of people do not realize is that there is much more to the cattle or livestock industry than meat only. Take for example leather, soap. glue, china (cheap fake porcelain), cosmetics, sweets, are just a few industries that all could not exist without and all use by-products out of the meat industry. Alternatives could only be synthetics again not helping the plastic soup issue.

I guess there is enough opportunity on this planet to do it sustainably without destroying a forest. But that is less profitable...

I'm sure that is about the biggest issue we have on this planet, it's all about profit and the small number of people getting the largest cut of it and their fear of losing it... They are very smart too and put the blame on the public to stay out of sight and in the dark...
 
What a opportunity missed Our new Prime Minister cannot be bothered with cop27. I know the intray is full but anyone who watched Frozen Planet 2 were climate change were once thousands of penguins gathered there is now no snow but rain which causes young penguins to perish and virtually no penguins there. And the dedicated scientist who reduced to tears after studying the colony for over 20years.If that's not enough to attend cop27 !!
 
I don't know what to make of this, using dogs to find wildlife,so it looked like a Springer Spaniel located a rare Newt ,without harming, so the Newt or whatever species can be taken off and put in another location.
It appears to be used by developers building on green field sites rather than brown field. Can't help thinking it's a bit like the" Esso tiger" giving developers positive publicity to use more of the Natural locations and bigger profits
 
A little bit of good news, after a long campaign US giant Kelloggs have been persuaded to drop all dealings and buisness with a giant Palm Oil company in Indonesia. They were exploiting the workforce, land grabbing ,illegal deforestation Other multinational companies have also withdrawn . The fight is not over but power of people shines through for the planet
 
Quite good news on this, Neonicotinolds a banned since 2018 in the UK, This pesticide to give some idea of why the Wildlife Trust have a continuing campaign against it,as mentioned before one teaspoon of it has the potential to kill 1.2 billion bees ,its that dangerous!
So after (ongoing)the Wildtrust Trust have presented the gov. with thousands of signatures to not give in to Commercial Company's who are lobbying for the ban to be overturned, Email your MP to support the ban
 
I wonder how much stupidity in the world is caused by crap food.

I recently went through a year of being into conspiracy theories, honestly ate the weirdest diet ever following some random American doctor, saw many interesting characters on various internet sites, absolutely nuts conspiracy theories, religious extremism... Came very close to permanently damaging my health taking questionable supplements and such..

I think it all started due to poor thinking due to bad health. Only really recovering by eating many foods, organic or not organic, but just eating lots of meats, dairies, fruits, nuts, vegetables, wholegrain bread, anything half decent I can get my hands on at this point...

I wonder if anyone would find this interesting... Everything you need to know about regenerative farming | Wildfarmed.... sometimes we have to start with something simple like bread. Wholegrain bread contains more trace elements? Which actually are very important for the brain? And white flour seems to lack them along with sugar or refined food in general? And the soil it grows in is very important of course.

I don't get the hate on veganism here. Red meat gives me symptoms for days after my health collapsed. Yet a vegan diet makes me feel better and better. I think if anyone is interested in the science they should read about the benefits of methionine/protein restriction for health.
 
Wife and I are vegetarian and avoid ultra high processed food (we make our own sourdough bread, cook all meals from scratch etc…). I think it’s an educational issue to a large degree. It takes knowledge and a good degree of extra effort.

I never comment on friends and family eating meat and untra processed. It’s there choice and I know that for most people the hyper palatable and low effort food is all they want.
It’s great when someone you know decides to switch. I feel I see more people eating vegetarian / vegan now. So that’s a win.
 
Yes... that makes sense to be honest. Something really needs to change or it will get a lot worse. So many people walking around with dark eye circles or whatnot.

I wonder when a point will come that people won't be able to work because they are so sick, or that climate change will really make itself known and everyone will know its real. Environmentally friendly farming coincidentally produces more nutritious food in general it seems so the two are connected... If only people would stop being so stupid...
