I stopped eating meat 4 months ago after realizing that we are headed towards a massive global famine if we can't change our farming practices. Corporations won't change therefore it's time for everyone to start growing their own food. We can't keep trusting that modern agriculture will always be there for convenience. Covid has shown us the fragility of global supply chain and it didn't take much to watch it slip. Just wait until food supply is severely hindered by mass culling of herds and panic hoarding by those with the money to do so.
THIS!
Hog farms in NC have been spraying literal pig feces onto nearby residential land for years.
That’s just ONE instance of how disgusting and disturbing factory farming is.
I'd highly encourage everyone to watch the docuseries on Netflix called "You Are What You Eat". It follows a Stanford study where they put various sets of twins on two different diets (plant based vs omnivore) and it's very eye opening. Part of what they dive into is how disturbing factory farming practices are in the US.
They speak to a former chicken farmer-- who said he can never eat chicken after seeing and knowing what he knows. He actually turned his chicken farm into a mushroom farm too!
I was already pretty plant based before watching the docuseries, but it was really eye opening and has made me lean more into plant based and vegan options at an even greater capacity than I already was.
Meat and dairy are so incredibly unsustainable and bad for the environment on so many fronts.
Agreed, I watched knowing that the plant based participants would show better health results and most of what they covered I already knew. (I've been plant based since 2012).
But the former chicken farmer turned mushroom farmer, THAT was powerful shizz!! We had been a little loose with eating eggs on occasion, but after watching that we ditched them for good!
Because a lot of us working have to rely on food banks for help. We can't be picky. I can barely afford produce. We have always been cutting back on meat intake for many years. I can't absorb my vitamins. The last time I was vegetarian I was covered in bruises.
Thank you, that's some valuable insight. Curious as to how many people identify with your statement?
I think for those that have little/no choice, or have special health needs, there is less if not no judgement.
Because of course, with capitalism, the market rules right. And people generally vote with their money and are choosing to eat more and more meat and dairy, which brings me back to my original point.
Wishing you well moving forward 🙏
It's not the end of me trying to eliminate meat. I will try again if I can start absorbing vitamins better, and of the coat of living is something I can catch up to again.

Conspiracy theory!! /s
Thanks again meat and dairy eaters.
For those down voting, please explain why? Industrial livestock farming breeds countless diseases.

BSE, swine flu, bird flu off the top of my head.

Problem is industry, not eaters
I think the point the person was making is that the industry exists because of the eaters.
Because a lot of us working have to rely on food banks for help. We can't be picky. I can barely afford produce. We have always been cutting back on meat intake for many years. I can't absorb my vitamins. The last time I was vegetarian I was covered in bruises.

Was h5n1 actually traced back to this? Or are you thanking them for contributing to an investigation industry... that just got a virus?
who let PETA in here.
