You and the Planet: sustainable food production with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall | The Royal Society

[@annieleymarie46]

Hugh says "the key to a healthy vegan diet is omega 3". It's important, but for people considering switching to a vegan diet a key action is to take B12, the only supplement that is essential. For the rest, a diversity of vegs, fruit, legumes (beans, lentils, etc), preferably unprocessed grains, nuts, seeds and mushrooms should ensure the diet is healthy.

If there were less people it would make all the problems easier to solve. climate change, stopping/slowing the mass extinction and the plastic mess everywhere. Ref Charles Darwin FRS The Origin of Species and Descent of Man

Dude, make short questions and stop interrupting. The guest spoke more than anyone else.

I agree, horrible interviewer!

We have to stop using farmland for the production of fuel- and energyplants, stop growing plants we can not eat but are in huge amounts grown for industrial purposes and maybe stop building our towns on the rich soil we need to grow our food. We abuse our small amount of land thats suitable for farming so much, THAT's the problem. Animals are not the problem, it's the way we keep and feed them that's the problem. We use land to grow foods for them they never where intended to eat and become sick instead of using gracingland (where we can't grow food) and let them transform gras into food for us. And everybody talks about methan from cows, but nobody mentions the huge abount of methan Humans produce. Both species produce it because of a bad diet - that would be easy to fix. About 60 years ago we had much more cattle than today but not problem with methan, that canged as we put them in stables and started feeding them the wrong stuff, so that they would get bigger faster. I find it also very strange that we condemn industrial food, but food grown in a lab is ok? Really? I don't think so. That's nothing I wood ever touch. Also I would like to know how much energy this needs, what other stuff they need.
