The #1 factor destroying the environment is unregulated capitalism allowing agri and petro corporations to run wild. Watch what you're eating, sure, but atomized individual action can't solve a societal problem
Hey! Have you had a chance to watch the documentary? It touches on both personal and systematic opportunities to reduce our impact of food.
Also, some industries are so wasteful and resource-intensive that there's really not a good way to reduce our impact to reasonable levels, other than swapping away from that food. For example, studies show that rearing cattle for meat is extremely inefficient, even on the most-efficient farms, when compared to things like legumes, per gram of protein.
A great source (other than the documentary) to demonstrate this: Reducing food's environmental impact through producers and consumers
I would never recommend poore nemecek 2018: every time I dig into the methodology I'm struck at how myopically supposed scientists can attempt to quantify a complex system like modern agriculture into discreet quantifiable metrics and then make recommendations without consideration of the widespread effects. it's flawed coming and going.
All of these people who want progress and justice until they are asked to think about what's on their plate. One would hope that a desire for a better world would be enough to spur all necessary change in one's own life.
Eating Our Way to Extinction takes us on an adventure to multiple different countries, exploring the impacts of our eating choices on our climate and the environment. With Kate Winslet narrating, beautiful drone footage, and an original score, it’s the most powerful documentary on the environment I’ve ever seen.
For those that have seen it - what did you think?
