[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2203334, member: 493719"] isn't THAT the rub. Pretty sure if we simply went back a generation or two, and Grew our own food locally, and bought locally, as in veg, fruits & meat.. OR simply stopped the built in obsolescence of so much we consume, the lack of being able to FIX something easily or the rush to buy products that are new... as the old ones will no longer work.. (Sonos debacle anyone ..making customers destroy the usability of the old product before allowing the new for old discount..scandalous at this juncture in our history..?) or Apples humorous attempt to slay the death of the lightning cable because it would cause so much wastage, after causing so much wastage by introducing it in the first place, Causing many (like with sonos) to HAVE to buy the same product again (updated, at extra costs, of course) that they already owned and was in perfect working order,,hahaha poor old apple....you couldn't make it up, could ya..:hilarious: i suggest we'd make more impact there, then just banning meat, with all the unknown quantities THAT decision may cause of us over the years to come. But then WHAT would BIG Business do then, where oh where would all those profits come from ? not to mention the big pharmaceutical companies... having to be satisfied helping curing diseases, rather then helping to create new ones..(obesity, T2D, metabolic syndrome, etc, etc, etc) i remember reading about the Peruvians who grew quinoa, that then became trendy in the west, had gone from one of the best diets in the world to the worst..as they couldn't afford to eat the product anymore and were instead eating MacDonalds Not entirely true, as this article points out, but the unintended consequences of what WE do at any given time, does still have a worrying impact globally.. endangered crops, soil erosion and lacking in nutrients because the animals had gone..:sorry: The point re less fats, does make me wince that maybe they will, after all only be a decade or two behind the west now..sadly..
