    Animal use and abuse is not the solution.

      The talk ommits the well-being of farm animals. It’s not only humans we should care about.

      Maybe we should lower the priority of money and prioritize pasture raised animal food

    Malnutrition is running rampant all over Asia, Africa, and in other continents. But mostly in Asia and Africa that’s a common issue that still has to be addressed consecutively.

    The problem is they are letting their animals run rampant leading to overgrazing and destroying the soil leading to desertification. They need the right education on how to manag their land and livestock.

    Hooray!!!!! It’s high time someone saw the light. Thank you so much. The West only ever send Africa grain and it’s done them no good at all. It does us no good either.

    We should never have allowed the world to turn to grain manufactured oils. Can you imagine how much land it uses to grow that stuff and the enormous amount of water that’s dragged up from a couple of miles underground to water those sunflowers etc.? That land was stolen from the cattle.

    The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says about 33% of food is lost or wasted worldwide, about 1.3 billion tons per year, while 783 million people suffer chronic hunger. ????☮????????

    If we are to contribute something good, it is a bit weak if it is to be at the expense of the lives and suffering of other beings.
    I guess it’s not about limiting goodness to one species, race or nation, at least that’s how I understand it 🙂
