This is what unsustainable demand looks like
Our insatiable, unsustainable demand for everything. Period.
Horrifying 6 minutes but worth every minute of it, especially near the end when you see the result.

This website is an excellent resource for finding local meat and produce.

We shifted to using our local farmers for meat, farms where I can visit and see how the animals are raised. Factory farmed meat is terrible for the animals, the environment and for our own health.

Interesting video. To be honest, I don’t consider the video to be that horrifying. (I think the music makes it super dramatic).The reality is that the population of the world is HUGE and still growing. This isn’t necessarily the most humane way to raise animals for food, but this helps meets the growing demands of consumption. I don’t want to be a vegetarian because of this. I love my meat, however I do make somewhat of an effort to eat less of it to help my health and my wallet.
The end result is sad but true. Gluttony is evil.

I am now a bit closer to becoming a vegetarian. And I don’t believe my milk is ‘made’ like that, but I’m probably a victim of hype. Will be checking it out :-\

Thanks for sharing, I have also shared it, maybe it will make one person think a bit and change their habits.

I was at a conference recently, where most speakers were talking about how we (food producers) have to meet the demand of growing consumption for 10 billion people in 30 years. I feel like tearing my hair out every time, why is no one talking about addressing consumption pattern? If we all eat a little consciously every day, we don’t need to go through these industrialised, food-making machines and probably not that many people would go hungry to bed every day!
The frustration can be crippling, I tell ya. And this video just scares me even more… T_T
