It's so sad to see this going on in Europe. Our small farmers in the U.S. have been systematically pushed out of business over the past few decades by large corporate-run farms.
At the same time pro-vegan documentaries like The Game Changer are gaining lots of press but are regularly debunked by critics. Chris Kresser believes moving the world to a vegan diet will cause more environmental harm.
Everything is so extreme these days and it's difficult for people to know what to believe. One thing is for sure food, in all forms, are going to get much more expensive in the near future.
The climate crisis has been a real boon for those pushing the vegan agenda, or the other way around, I'm not sure. What I do know is all of a sudden there's a whole lot of money behind it. Veganism everywhere.
While I'm not in favour of the way we farm animals, I have no wish to force my choices on others. I'm also suspect of what's behind it all, this drive to veganise us all and feed us lab-grown food substitutes...or am I channelling my inner Alex Jones?
I totally agree. My wife and I try to buy our meat from small local farms. I think, as consumers, the best thing we can do is vote with our dollars and support those local producers as best we can. Lab grown meat will definitely be the primary protein source on the shelves in the next decade. We're slowly being conditioned to accept it.
