Nuances of a Veggie World

Food Inc. is a very fantastic movie, and one of those "must sees". Of it's issues, it shines the light on the entire industrialization of food and explains how the current solution is not in our best interest. The industrialization of livestock is the most vile subject, but they don't condone meat, only point out how the current system for producing it is very bad.

On that thread, NewScientist has a good article titled "Veggieworld: Why eating greens won't save the planet" about the boons to having livestock and how a purely vegan world would not be the ideal solution either. It points out how the industrialization of meats does not help us, but that a complete elimination is also not the right solution either.

Like the old adage reminds us, Everything in moderation, including moderation.
