RE: The meat industry: A summary of the many Reasons to become Vegan.
Clausewitz, seriously your write-up made an impact towards animal farming but I want to let my view known to you; You brought to our notice that vegetables should be subtituted or tried.
Here are my own point or view;
Firstly, this vegetables are been preserved with chemicals of which some are harmful to health, some shop-bought foodstuffs contain phosphate additives which enhance their taste and texture but the surphus amount of these preservatives can lead to kidney problems and even phosphates added to increase the taste of some food stuffs can lead to early aging.
Secondly, remember that even the plants and vegetables need nutrient(manure) to survive and this is got from animal faeces thus making animal rearing imposible for adequate plant growth.
Note: fertilizers have side effects on the soil and its inorganic thus it doesnt give plant the required nutrients
I have many more points but I will pause here...but I must commend your wonderful write-up, you almost changed my view on animal meat.
Thanks for the input, we do not need all the fertilizers if we use more land for growing crops, more land means less pressure on the soils and we can let soils rest. Today we use so little soil for growing and so much for cattle, thats the whole problem and cattle depletes soils 15 times faster then growing crops does :)
Yeah i mention in one of the posts, that we should never eat GMO sprayed with roundup, one should always go with ecological alternatives and put pressure on the industry to change.
Thanks for reading and commenting :)
