      And then the birds come to eat the larvae and beetles and the birds bring other predators, and on and on until you have a fully functioning, self-sustaining ecosystem, which is the only thing that will reverse climate change. Technology got us into this mess via agriculture, it's not going to get us out via lab meat. Certainly there are roles for technology in making our lives easier, but the idea that more technology will somehow solve climate change is ridiculous [even so-called green energy sources aren't so good for the environment].

    Good points, but her description of the Savory method for managing livestock (which is utterly crucial to understand in this paradigm that she promotes) is off base in a number of respects. To wit: Eating the grass does not 'stimulate' it. The reason that the cattle or bison herd moves on is that they ate all of the grass where they are, and they MUST keep moving to find more food. The value of the predators is to keep the herd ruminants bunched up, so that they do not 'cherry pick' but rather eat everything. This system works with perennials, which root deeper. When the grass is eaten down to the ground, then the roots die back, WHICH FERTILIZES DOWN DEEP, then it resprouts with this big root system and regrows quickly. Because the herd is now miles away, the grass recovers nicely and extends its roots again. When all you have is a perimeter fence, the animals cherry pick, and over time you get a field full of star thistle, plus when the grass attempts to recover, the animals are there and bite it again -- WHICH MUST NOT OCCUR!! Current grazing practices are complacent and retarded, and result in much less production and reduced soil quality compared to enlightened methods, which require actual work on the part of the rancher, but result in impressive benefits. Learn it!

      @@gildone84 When you say 'confined' -- how big are those parks?? And how do those herds compare to the old herds of 3 centuries ago? When a giant herd that is kept bunched up by predators moves through a prairie, it eats and tramples EVERYTHING to the ground, and moves on. Then the grasses there rebound. That does not happen on smaller acreages where the animals can cherry pick and roam the whole (small) acreage.

    It is one of those talks that has set a mission first and than picked up facts to suit it. According to FAO, only ca 10% of global beef is currently pastured. Even if we greatly improve the pasture management (with whatever holistic generative etc. methods) we might triple it (maybe). Where will the rest is going to come from? Cutting back on beef (and other meat and dairy) in countries where it is consumer in quantities excessive and unnecessary to health is the only solution. There are several more arguments one can pick on. But just one more: 60% of all mammalian biomass is presently domesticated animals with that of wild mammals being just 7%. And, yes, it might be worth checking on a profile of a speaker - an adherent of ketogenic diet

      those fat americans need a different diet to resolve their problems and that means higher quality nourishment....many people find more protein helps to satiate as they improve their metabolic health and sustainably lose weight in the long term. Since merely cutting calories and moving more is proven to not work in the long run for the majority in the western food environment, an improvement in food quality is the only viable answer. For many people this can mean including meat on a daily basis to acheive their health and weight goals.

    This is easily the most sick and twisted presentation on sustainable food production and nutrition that I have ever seen. I will just some of of the warped "facts" that Diana makes:
    1. She talks about how bad soy is for the environment. Most soy grown worldwide is grown EXPLICITLY for animal feed. In the U.S. 98% of the soy we grow goes to animal feed.
    2. She talks about how much water goes into crops in California, yet does not say a single word about the amount of water it takes to raise an animal to the age of maturity in meat production (spoiler: its A LOT)
    3. She talks about 70% non-farmable land but fails to include geographic barriers such as mountains, urban areas, etc in this statement. The reality is that a relatively small portion of non-farmable land is suited for grazing. We would not be cutting down our forests for grazing land if this was the truth.
    4. Her statements on nutritional deficiencies are missing a very important detail: MOST PEOPLE EAT MEAT. You cannot make an argument against plant based diets by claiming 30% of people are anemic, and completely leave out the fact that this percentage is from a population where most of the people ARE CONSUMING MEAT. This does nothing to discredit these diets, and does not confront the reasons why people are actually developing these deficiencies (hint: it is not because they aren't eating enough meat)
    5. Although she specifies that she is not in favor of factory farming, she is ignoring the fact that these "humane, grass-fed meats" are inaccessible to a majority of the world for monetary, geographic, and infrastructure-related reasons. She also fails to include in her presentation how, exactly, everyone can eat according to her nutritional standards, considering the amount of "humane, grass-fed" meat that would need to be produced. On our earth it is literally impossible to meet this demand in the ways that she is proposing.
    There are MANY more things that are wrong with her presentation, but this list would exceed the amount of time am willing to put into arguing against someone so deluded. Reduce your animal product consumption, recycle what you can, and of course, stay educated on what industries you are supporting with your purchases. XOXO

      1. Soy is used to produce oil which is used purely for human consumption. Some of what's left over after oil extraction gets fed to pigs just so it's not wasted, but that's not why soy is produced.
      2. Funny thing, the water, animal suffering/death and pollution costs of animal farming are almost entirely due to the fact that we feed them grain. Otherwise these costs are negligible.
      3. Almost all land is usable for grazing, just not usable for growing grass. Goats, for example, eat brush, unfortunately it's not a commonly produced meat around here.
      4. Nutritional deficiencies due to high plant consumption and low meat consumption are very common. Eating plants destroys a lot of the benefits of eating meat.
      5. The reason meat isn't available for everyone is simple overpopulation. A large part of the population is going to have to suck it up and eat plants.
      Ideally buy 100% grass-fed meat, though of course with the absurd levels of wealth inequality present today it's probably not an option for most of us.

    Animal protien and especially healthy fats are important for feeding and healing, but we also need plant products - including fiber - for cleansing as well as feeding our microbiome organ; consisting of cells far more numerous than our own? (They for example play a vital role in maintenance of healthy enterosites as well as in producing vitamins needed by our bodies.)
    We as humans are fearfully and wonderfully made - in God's image, and were put in charge of the earth; to rule over and use both animals and vegatation in order to maintain ourselves; this also by working. For how we did this, we will be held accountable by our Creator.

Fibre is detrimental (it's an antinutrient and causes many digestion issues), I stopped eating it three years ago and all the digestion issues that I'd been plagued with all my life are completely gone, my digestion is now perfect. The myth that fibre is good originates with a religious cult in the USA that happened to found the first nutrition organizations and wrote the textbooks used to teach it in schools for decades, and implemented abysmally low scientific standards for nutrition-based research, which is why most nutritionists all believe all sorts of weird things, such as "fibre is necessary for good digestion" or "if you don't eat any plants for months, you'll get scurvy".
      These people are straight-up insane and they do not hesitate to lie and manipulate to promote their religious and commercial interests. And sadly they are extremely influential worldwide.

In agreement with you; it is indeed alarming how influential they are all over the world.
      Yet, as the SDA sect should not be making it their business to go around telling others not te eat meat and other animal foods; it is not the business of meat eaters to go around spreading dogma about not eating plant foods (1 Tim 4 warns us against doing this).
      Weston Price found healthy isolated people groups over the world thriving on different diets; it was not the same diet for all. None were vegan; all were high fat, and contained some form/s of animal- and fermented foods. So, while I recognise the importance of bio-available animal nutrients, it need not be all I ingest.
