They eat with their eyes!". I grew up hating wasting food and there's so many ways to recycle leftovers too

It's no use, their brains don't function well enough to stop imagining cows as containing some sort of a black hole that sucks up water irreversibly. A cow ultimately holds on to no more water than the margin between the dry mass of its organism and its total body mass at any given moment. The rest of the water that they need to live is excreted and reabsorbed into the ecosystem along with the fertilizing metabolites the plants need. (Spoiler : plants hold on to water too. Their inedible parts hold on to water too.)

I think the biggest arguement is that the big corporations are feeding soy to the lifestock. But the soy that they are being fed is being harfested very carelessly by chopping down rainforests (because they have nutricious ground) and when they harvested soy as much as the corporations could they move on and chop more rainforest and let the damage they did behind without putting any effort in restoring the ground they 'sucked dry'. And even though the rainforests are not the earths biggest co2 filters (the algae are) it is very problematic.

21:09 I’ve spent time in South Africa in a region that grows large amounts of citrus, specifically oranges. It rained shortly before the harvest when the oranges were still on the trees, and this leaves a small water mark but affects the fruit in no way whatsoever. One farm alone had a few hundred tonnes of oranges that wouldn’t be accepted by European buyers, so they were just excess waste produce. Thankfully the farm gave them out for free to anyone who would take them, and the place I was volunteering took 8 tonnes of them to feed to the animals. Those 8 tonnes were a comparatively small truckload compared to some of the trucks taking them. It’s the perfect standards that produce is held to that causes the problems. Imperfect looking produce gets thrown away or can’t be sold in supermarkets. Sell by dates scare people into throwing produce that is a day over its date, despite it just being slightly lower quality.

I’m a Californian. The CA agricultural industry uses 80+% of the water here. While they now cut households once again. And our lakes, ground tables, reservoirs are all near depletion. In CA Orange County, Fullerton, there is a water reclamation facility that purifies black water for drinking use, but it has to put this water back into the ground table, and purify it again before people will drink it. But this black water purification is far cheaper than ocean desalination. Water reclamation facilities statewide should adopt back water reclamation. Btw, on the ISS space station, all liquids inclusive of sweat and urine are purified for drinking. Just saying.

Yes. Here in Portugal if you produce more oranges than you should they will literally make you burn them all. It’s crazy. And a lot of people would be begging to have those oranges to eat. Not to mention we have to do our best not to waste food even if we can’t achieve perfection. I’m a vegan and once I accidentally bought something that had eggs on it. Even if it went against my morals I gave it to my mother because although I hate the consumption of eggs (and other animal products) I could never waste something merely for moral beliefs.

@TheRagingAura 3 года назад

See here's the capitalist reason why companies don't do that. If workers knew they could take home wasted food, they'd purposely make extra food so that there would be waste to take home. Companies would consider that wasted money so they don't want that to happen. They'd rather waste food than risk more money spent on food that isn't really wasted. And yes, I know there are situations where food is gonna be wasted anyway, but they don't care, it's the principle of the matter to them.

Plants require massive machines and tractors, harvesters etc. They also grow seasonal so they have to be shipped globally from other countries to make sure you have it fresh everyday.

@@jzi4 "Who profits from the forest?" Everyone--all humans and all other species on earth. The path we are currently on leads towards mass extinctions of life on Earth, including most humans. The more forests we chop down, the worse those ecosystem collapses will be "If the land isn't used for livestock or agriculture it will go to waste." That's familiar capitalist thinking, but thinking like that will cause Earth's ecosystems to collapse (and many are already either in big trouble [coral reefs] or starting to fray around the edges [many forests, permafrost regions]). Even if we don't personally value forests and birds and fish and insects, our food supply and lives are totally dependent on the health of Earth's ecosystems. Take care.
