Eating  Ecologically for your health and the health and future stability of the world.

The world is now facing increasingly daunting problems associated with the way we eat:

Our present western diet with its large amounts of animal based foods, is severely straining the Earth's finite resources and at the same time causing severe damage to our ecosystems.

We are rapidly heading towards a situation where animal protein rich diets will no longer be available because diverting huge amounts of basic foods into feed for industrial livestock production will not be possible: it will be required to feed people directly.

A sensible approach would be for us the change our way of eating back to a largely plant based diet. This way we can reduce the huge amount of damage that the livestock industry does to our fragile planet as well as heading off a major food disaster which is likely in the next few years if we don't take drastic action.

If you are in any doubt as to either the damage done by the livestock industry or the health benefits that come with a largely plant based diet, you must read on. You can act now to something very positive to save our world. This web site will:

• Make you very aware of how much damage meat, dairy and general agricultural production is doing to our environment as well as doing unpleasant things to animals.
   

• Dispel the myth that meat and dairy are essential for good health. 
   

• Show you that there are ways of producing healthy food that will not damage the earth's ecosystems.
   

• Demonstrate just how your good health and longevity can benefit by increasing the proportion of plant-based foods you eat.
   

• Show you that you can have a really tasty way of eating with little or no animal-based foods, that is simultaneously good for you and good for the world.
   

• Reveal really wasteful and damaging foods.
   

• Look at ways of fixing the mess that livestock production has caused.

Mixed farm	Factory farm
We want this.....	Not this!
The great modern myth is that the only way we can have food security for the world is to adopt industrial farming methods. However, many environmentally aware producers have shown that non industrial farming can produce the same or greater output without damaging the environment. Local production will mean some changes in the way we consume, particularly in not having out-of-season produce, but this is a small price to pay for environmental sustainability.
