Can Meat be Healthy‪?‬ The Plant-Powered Podcast

    • Food

In the past, grabbing food would look like this:


We would have caught one or two animals on a hunt and often failed.
Hunting made us raise our activity and move long distances for a long time.
The animals would have lived free, eaten many grains and plants, had ample sunlight, and moved often.

Compare that with how we eat now:


We can eat as many animals as we can afford to as quickly as we choose and never fail to find meat in the shop.
We can get this delivered without moving at all.
The animals mostly live inside, eat one or two crops for their whole life, and are supplemented with growth hormones and antibiotics.

Meat has its problems.

But, in terms of our health, it may not always have been the case.

In today's world, we have ditched hunting.

We go to the shops, grab food, head home, and eat.

For the sake of convenience, this is great.

But, this is a disaster for our bodies and billions of animals.
