Ever wonder why grocery store tomatoes taste like garbage? Switching to a vegetarian diet is not the solution to global food sustainability, says Chris Newman, farmer and owner of Sylvanaqua Farms. “People are going to have to eat more meat if they want to feed their families,” Newman says. Sustainability can only be found in the ecosystem in which a particular community exists, and many times that ecosystem will include animals, Newman argues.
