[QUOTE="dms1, post: 2119596, member: 176722"] I am currently reading Bee Wilson's new book: 'How We Eat Now'. She gives a very measured and down to earth account of how and what we eat in wealthy countries is dominated by fast food and the resulting poor nutrition and why people living in emerging economies are demanding more 'luxury' foodstuffs like meat and dairy to the detriment of their health and the further destruction of both local environments and our planet as a whole. Very enlightening and sobering. [B]The debate should not be about personal eating preferences being safeguarded but about creating a safe food future and a flourishing environment for our children and future generations. [/B] By the way, most of the crops grown in deforested areas are destined for animal feed, not direct human consumption. Obviously, once it gets into an animal's stomach, it ends up in the human food chain anyway and soya products (as the biggest example) are ubiquitous in fast food formulas. [/QUOTE]
