Chews wisely…

If all these foods were grown 100% organically then we would have healthy people on healthy soils of a healthy planet…

Here is Earthwatch’s summary on the State of Our Soils – https://earthwatch.org.uk/images/SustAgriculture/Soil_Report.pdf .

Chris Darwin, is a major advocate of going meat free to stay healthy and to save the Planet (Ref., https://www.thedarwinchallenge.org/ ; http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/pflb6wxst3 this brief 7 min video can transform your way of looking at food). Thus, Chris Darwin, like his ancestor, has shown how very small changes bio-accumulate to make a huge difference… It is how humanity got thus far, bit by bit; bite by bite…

News reports on The Darwin Challenge quote Chris Darwin as saying:

“CD: Initially, we did some research into this and discovered that no one really cares about the mass extinction of species, which was a bit of a disappointment for me. They don’t care about climate change. They don’t care about water. What they care about is themselves. They really care about being healthy. They really care about being slim. And actually, the other thing which they really care about is animal welfare.”

CD: “If everyone in Australia took one day a week off eating meat, what would happen? In a year we’d save $1 billion, 130,000 cattle, 66 million chickens, a billion fish and prawns, an area of forest the size of two ACTs, and — this one really blew my mind — a quarter of a million Olympic swimming pools of water. And we’d live a cumulative 91,000 years longer.“

CD: “If everyone in the UK chose, from today, to avoid eating meat once a week, [for a] year, the life expectancy of the total population would increase 300,000 years. Citizens would save £2.3 billion and create an area of forest the size of all of England and Wales’ national parks combined.”

Food for thought… Next steps are 100% organic and to vermicompost all organic “wastes”. De-cide well and chews wisely…

If climate researchers truly cared about climate & ocean health they would avoid red meat (and surprisingly farmed fish). Few do. Ocean catch is OK (Ref.).
