Hey All-
I found an interesting article once again in the Daily Camera. A physician in Africa has once again brought up the topic of Malnutrition in young children and women. Food insecurity is known to rise during economic downfalls. The amount of meat that is consumed has grown 10 times more than the rate of population, on a global scale. In this insightful article, the facts are exposed that animals-based diets use more crops to produce the animal . This is ten times more than the process of plant products. as well as requires a lot of water, then again costing valuable resources to waste. I found one statistic that blew me away is that our country is raising and killing, 10 BILLION land animals a year. Being a global 'police officer' for this planet, its not too cool that we are creating an environment that we destroy daily by cutting down many organic resources that our environment has provided. This is a short summary of that article. If you would like more information please go tohttp://www.dailycamera.com/guest-opinions/ci_15136265#axzz0orpApiNt. If you are interested in how America produces food and wanting a real-insight into how food is made please watch Food Inc.
Thanks for reading-
