Thanks for your feedback! Would you have a better source that I could refer to?

This short video shows a beautiful, fluffy cow being very lowing with her human! I don't want to see these animals harmed so I'm not going to eat cattle.
Thank you! It's been fun so far! :)
I'm up to 70g of natural fiber a day! I'm plant-based though so it's easy for me when most of my foods are whole plant foods.
Eating Our Way to Extinction takes us on an adventure to multiple different countries, exploring the impacts of our eating choices on our climate and the environment. With Kate Winslet narrating, beautiful drone footage, and an original score, it’s the most powerful documentary on the environment I’ve ever seen.
For those that have seen it - what did you think?
Hey! I made this content and was made aware of Lemmy by a friend two days ago. I decided to join and wanted to enter with a bang by sharing some of my OC.
Hi! This documentary touches on personal as well as systematic change, so it's not blaming the ordinary person. It also focuses on the other areas of sustainability, such as deforestation, land use, fresh water use, biodiversity loss, and ocean dead zones. It acknowledges it's far behind burning fossil fuels for emissions.
Definitely give it a watch!
Good call! :)
Hey! Have you had a chance to watch the documentary? It touches on both personal and systematic opportunities to reduce our impact of food.
Also, some industries are so wasteful and resource-intensive that there's really not a good way to reduce our impact to reasonable levels, other than swapping away from that food. For example, studies show that rearing cattle for meat is extremely inefficient, even on the most-efficient farms, when compared to things like legumes, per gram of protein.
A great source (other than the documentary) to demonstrate this: Reducing food's environmental impact through producers and consumers
The study is a meta study over 38,700 farms constituting 90% of global calories consumed though; would this still be considered a single metric? I'm looking for something else I can send to people if not this.
