Yes--course starts tomorrow. I'll be covering critical information on how to understand and assess for propaganda. 2024 is a critical year. Everything is going to a head within the next 12 months.

Of course quality matters. I like Michael Pollen’s assessment at the end of ‘The Omnivore’s Dilemma’ Eat mainly plants. Simple as that. Helps the earth, helps end the horror of the meat industry and helps the human body function optimally.and I am a leftie and it seems I. The end the hippies were right.🌿

Unfortunately for the plant-based diet people, their recommendations have turned out to be based on poor information and some fraud. The plant-based diet produces significant core nutritional deficiencies that increase the risk of chronic disease, especially neurodegenerative disease. So, on a purely health-based level, it's not a wise choice. Regarding the "save the earth" argument, that one is also underwhelming. Animal ranching is not only not harmful to the land but necessary to replenish nutrients to the soil.

The conflation of unhealthy food and environmentally destructive food production with meat and animal farms has led, sadly, to the belief among many that meat and animal farms are bad. The real problem is factory farming and contaminants, which occurs in all food industries, including food made from plants. Those practices should be criticized and rejected as unhealthy and destructive.

Unfortunately, the animal factory model is where most people get their meat...and that is incredibly destructive to the environment, especially the pig factories. They spray the toxic sludge of animal excrement on nearby fields, of course in poor neighborhoods because the smell is unbearable and causes respiratory problems. If you hunt, that has more redeeming integrity, but how many urbanites are out there shooting their prey?

Agreed. And that is a powerful argument against massive factory farming--animal, plant, fruit, or vegetable. But it isn't an argument against meat or for a plant-based diet, on either health or environmental grounds. I think it's important, for the sake of clarity, that we distinguish between healthy and unhealthy food production on the hand and healthy and unhealthy food groups on the other. Too often, both are conflated with one another.

Watch ‘what the health’. Meat and diary are not all they’re made out to be. I see a lot of fat carnivores in poor mental health...

The primary issue is quality of food, and it appears this film reinforces and confirms everything I have been writing about for the past year. I watched the trailer (watching the film incurs a $10 fee), which points to government and pharmaceutical capture / corruption, the statin scam, and the health risks of processed foods of all types as great threats to our health.

Unfortunately, many of the sources cited and used are not credible, such as the WHO and Leonardo de Caprio. One (in)famous study listed is the Seventh Day Adventist meat-eater study, which reportedly found that meat-eating Adventists suffer from higher rates of diabetes than vegetarian Adventists. This is one of many examples of conflating meat with poor quality food--the meat-eaters primary ate processed sausage. So, again, it's not meat but the quality of the meat that matters.

Also, the two directors clearly belong to the Left. In their bios, they list "social justice, "sustainability," "gender inequality," "animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental destruction," and "the environmental movement" as their primary passions. They both live in San Francisco (bad sign).

What is surprising, though, is that despite their immersion in every destructive Left-wing / Democrat party cause, they still reached the same conclusions that I have!
