Her view: All industrial farming is devastating the planet. Not just vegetables, fruit, and grain.
The CAFO's where by far the most meat animals are grown produce such huge amounts of fecal matter that it often overflows into rivers and creates dead zones in rivers and lakes. Herbivores are only sustainable when they eat and poop on vast amounts of land, but they're fed grain. And even when they're raised properly, the people who eat the meat don't return their poop and piss to the land where the cattle are raised, so the phosphorous and nitrogen end up in waste-water treatment plants that eventually release it to lakes and oceans. The nutrients are lost to the land and create vast dead zones in rivers, lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Our entire system is unsustainable and harms the planet, and it totally depends on fossil fuels which are rapidly disappearing.
Our genetics have changed more in the past 10,000 years than the past 6 million to adapt to the agricultural diet -- the hunter-gatherer diet is not "healthy" for us anymore -- we've evolved to eat more carbs (grains)....
