“I am very interested in the topic of food production, and one of the issues is the fact that it has become a plant vs meat battle, that is being played out via media, social media and various other platforms for propaganda.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBeing single minded or closed minded is never going to solve anything. All conflicts are eventually solved by dialogue and some give and take. The plant based activists need to realise that there is an environmental cost, a loss of life cost and a personal health cost to their diet, and that eating small amounts of meat that was raised in a natural environment is actually a win on all of these levels.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFrom a farming perspective, farmers and more importantly governments and multi national corporations need to realise that how a large proportion of farming is currently being done is also wrong from an environmental perspective, from a loss of life perspective and from a health perspective. So when you look at these opposed stand points, the negative realities of both sides are actually very similar.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo if you could stop the gesturing and pontification, the solution is fairly simple – produce food as nature intended, let nature repair the environment, stimulate life and provide healthy nutritious food regardless of whether it is plant or meat based. This film is a good step in the right direction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRemember the words of Nelson Mandela – Education is the greatest weapon known to man!!!”
