VB6: Ethical or Health bandaid? Neither? Both?

Zanthia Dwight Summary: Dr. Emmerman spoke on the ethical standards of veganism and how meat eating has a huge effect on not just our bodies, but the environment, the lives of animals, and the lives of other humans. Previously Micheal Pollan has been educating us on how eating more vegetables and fruits can increase our lifespan, quality of life, and quality of food by enormous amounts. Changing our eating from mostly processed foods and animal products to a plant-based diet can be extremely beneficial to all humans health.  Dr. Emmerman proposed something that seems a little radical to a lot of Americans who were raised on the traditional diet of "a square meal": lots of carbs, lots of meats, and a sprinkle of veggies and fruits for color, and then PILE ON THAT DAIRY BABY.

In fact, it is estimated that 30 - 40% of the U.S. food supply is wasted every year . Not only is this statistic alarming because, despite the high rate of foodwaste, a staggering  41 million Americans struggle with hunger every year , but also because of the severe impacts that food waste is having on our environment.

America: The Hummer in a Parking Lot Full of Hybrids?

In America, we don't like reusing food. While millions of United States citizens starve on the streets, we still continue struggling to use what we produce and purchase. Because of this predicament, individuals wishing to battle the profound negative effect of our wastefulness have devised numerous ways to re-purpose our trash. This practice may ultimately provide answers concerning providing sustainable food, energy and waste solutions to a world in dire need of environmental repair. By turning uneaten food into feed for livestock, we can reduce the amount of new feed we need to grow and process. This concept is fairly simple. But there are even more possible uses for leftovers and 'imperfect' food, and even more potential applications in the future. Food waste is something that will always exist. Despite this, there are ways that something seen as a waste could be used to benefit society and help to create a sustainable future. A Brief History on the Topic of Food Wast...
