Meat’s Environmental Cost || Acharya Prashant

There are so many countries in the world that call themselves developed countries and if you go there good vegetarian stuff let alone vegan you know veganism is a far cry even good vegetarian stuff will not be easy to find. Do we understand that when it comes to climate change the second most important factor is food choices.

When forests are cleared, they are cleared largely for the sake of agriculture. And do we understand that when it comes to agriculture, 70% of agriculture is not for human consumption but for livestock consumption. So that cattle may eat and then you may eat the cattle. This planet is almost gone and nobody wants to talk of it.

The media will not bring these things to you because the media is in the hands of the same people who are in in the first place direct beneficiaries of all the devastation. They will not talk about it. But you have to talk about it. Fortunately, you have social media. You can talk about it.
