Animal Farming: Affecting our Health and our Environment
Animal Farming: Affecting our Health and our Environment
Factory farming/industrial agriculture is affecting our health and our environment. I am eager to know if your knowledge in this area has influenced you to reassess your lifestyle, particularly your diet. For example, as a result of media coverage in this area, especially access to social media, have you become vegan, vegetarian or other? If you are a meat/dairy consumer, have you thought about changing your diet in any way as a result of newfound knowledge regarding the meat/dairy we are consuming?

I think current industrial/factory farming practices are not only unethical. I believe they present a massive threat to our health and the environment. For all these reasons, I have chosen a Vegan diet. I was influenced by lots of media including social media videos and posts, films such as Earthlings, Cowspiracy and Forks over Knives. I have read the China Study, the fastest selling nutrition book ever published. I have followed Greenpeace and their beliefs on the negative impacts of industrial farming to our health and the environment. I have also watched many speeches from activists such as Gary Yourofsky, James Aspey and many You Tube videos of Freelee the Banana Girl (a Vegan/plant based diet promoter). I follow PETA and The Best Video You Will Ever See on Facebook.
