    The #1 factor destroying the environment is unregulated capitalism allowing agri and petro corporations to run wild. Watch what you’re eating, sure, but atomized individual action can’t solve a societal problem

      Hey! Have you had a chance to watch the documentary? It touches on both personal and systematic opportunities to reduce our impact of food.

      Also, some industries are so wasteful and resource-intensive that there’s really not a good way to reduce our impact to reasonable levels, other than swapping away from that food. For example, studies show that rearing cattle for meat is extremely inefficient, even on the most-efficient farms, when compared to things like legumes, per gram of protein.

      A great source (other than the documentary) to demonstrate this: Reducing food’s environmental impact through producers and consumers
