The Root Causes of Ecological Destruction

Posted by Cheryl in vegetarianvegansustainableomniivoremeateatingherbivorefoodawakenanimals

Humans must recover their place in nature. They will not be well nor their policies and systems of governance sane until they do. Humans must realize that ALL present economic, military and government systems today are based upon fallacies that are unhealthy for them and every other living thing.

If we want any natural world to exist, we must become a part of it rather than its destroyer by virtue of insisting upon being its exception. We must lose our vanity and recover our natural wisdom. And we MUST embrace the most fundamental truth about ourselves; we are human herbivore monkeys.

Our place was naturally rich. Now it is all but vanquished. But, if we hope to continue upon this planet and hope for any natural life to continue, we must

The Global Effects Of Meat Consumption

Posted by Cheryl in vegetarianveganomniivoreherbivorefoodconsumptionconsumerawarenessanimals

"The global effects of meat consumption don't stop on land. Agriculture also requires water consumption, and animal agriculture is no exception. Animal production consumes an amount of water roughly equivalent to all other uses of water in the United States combined. Besides grains, animals need water to survive and grow until they are slaughtered. One pound of beef requires an input of approximately 2500 gallons of water, whereas a pound of soy requires 250 gallons of water and a pound of wheat only 25 gallons. Meat production is inefficient as it requires the consumption of an extensive amount of resources over many months and years before becoming a usable food product. With the water used to produce a single hamburger, you could take a

There is no "top" of the food chain.

"Given that we sit atop the food chain, nothing preys on us so there's nothing to stop our growth."

This is simply a major fallacy of our very ecologically fallacious culture. There is NO ‘top' to the food chain!

In fact, evolutionary tendency is from carnivorous to omnivorous where we see some plant eating capabilities, to exclusive plant eating capabilities and then further specialization (such as the bovine specialized stomach) adding an ability to digest much more commonly available foodstuffs, grasses.

If one looks with an accurate ecological lens, one sees that ecology itself moves towards dietary specializations that can support great herds, meaning larger and larger population numbers... and it turns out, these greater numbers are
