Our meat-centered diet and the large-scale animal agriculture that supports it, is devastating all the life support systems upon which we depend - the topsoil, the forests, the rivers, the ground water, the air and the oceans. Evolving our diet away from the current animal-based diet toward a plant-based diet is arguably the single most effective action we can take as individuals and as a society to improve our health and to stabilize our endangered eco-system.
