So tired of reading how vegetarianism is the only option if you care about the planet. I care deeply for the planet and skip processed foods, buy raw milk and eggs from a small, pasture based farm driving once a month to pick up for a group who shares the drive. I buy veggies from a farmers market and grow a few myself. Also, I buy meat from small growers who would not survive without the income from their animal production. I render my own lard, ferment my own vegetables and dairy and kombucha and make my own condiments - thus reusing glass jars instead of constantly throwing our plastic containers and lids. Row crop foods such as GMO soy and GMO corn and highly hybridized wheat from which processed vegetarian foods are made are destroying the planet. Grass fed animals create carbon sinks, restore soil stripped of life, create spaces for wildlife to flourish, and - when on small farms - keep open green space and keep rural communities operating. The advice for caring for the planet is not to eat more two crops, but to stop having others do your work for you. Spend time buying real food from people you know - including meat, eggs, fish, and milk - and cook it yourself. Your health, the small farmers, the soil, air, water, and wildlife will be the better for it.
