Eat less meat – it will be good for you and so much better for the planet

First posted on the 11th of January 2021. For your health and the health of the planet not to mention all the creatures eaten make 2023 the year to change your diet.

It’s Veganuary and if you haven’t thought about it already then consider eating one or more meals with no meat products. This photo that I took in Paris was of some apt graffiti on an aptly named street sign, The passage of the small butcher. There are so many things wrong with the fast food and intensive animal farming industries and they contribute massively to environmental destruction and climate change. This includes fossil fuel subsidies so fish can be caught to feed to herbivores and the tearing down of rain forests and other environments to either graze animals or raise crops to feed to animals. None of this is sustainable and there really is no such thing as cheap eats fast food. There is also the human health aspect and for this additional reason all fast food outlets should be taxed in lieu of the damage they are causing to the planet to serve a convenient lifestyle. So every meal should carry a damage to the environment tax of at least one dollar, one pound, one euro and any other local currency to make people pay the real cost of this style of eating.

A great whale rescue story

First posted in January 2021

This BBC article, https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-55559943, about the rescue of a young orca whale is truly wonderful but we have to ask with there being so many stranding events if there is a human hand in them. The seas and oceans are full of plastic and other chemicals. Then there’s the huge amount of underwater noise pollution from all the trade, sometimes very unnecessary, going on. The seas and oceans are heating up and becoming more acidic. The food that these creatures feed on may be being over fished or move away from areas where the whales habitually feed. Prey species could be contaminated by microplastics and chemicals concentrating in their organs. It’s important that we understand what is happening to the ecosystems below the surface. Male orcas live for around 30 years although they can live for 50 to 60 years with females living up to 100. There are possibly only 50,000 of the creatures anyway, the equivalent of a small human settlement. Yet compare that to the extra 80,000,000 increase in the human population in the 366 days of 2020, the species that is causing all the problems and it is easy to see that we are too many and we take too much.

Fishing is not natural – Environmental loading 18

Why would anyone think that? The ecosystems of the seas and the oceans have functioned normally for 100s of millions of years with the first complex life forms evolving some 560 million years ago and with the first fish appearing 530 million years before present, https://ocean.si.edu/through-time/ocean-through-time.

Then along comes a monkey, the human primate, a creature that evolved from the water who then, in very recent history, compared to life in the seas and oceans comes up with the idea for a boat. The concept is copied innumerable times as the monkey finds it likes to eat or use many of the life forms that live in the watery environment but without consideration to what this will do to those ecosystems.

Part of his expansion in numbers is very much down to this exploitation without consideration of this environment. After all, teach a man to fish and not only will he have many children who will also want to fish but he will go to extraordinary lengths to feed his pets and also, to force feed his herbivore farm animals some fish before he eats them.

Then some of those who were fishermen become managers and management consultants who came up with the idea that what is needed is a bigger boat, a factory boat and a huge processing plant to distribute what appears to be seas and oceans that have no bounds. Queue repeating this plunder of the watery environment without consideration as to the consequences.

Meanwhile below the surface where most of the monkeys cannot see or are not looking the ecosystems are trying to adapt to this day in day out onslaught as ecosystems do. On the surface the monkey is now squabbling over who, where and when the fishermen monkeys can fish and all the while the fishermen monkeys have more fishermen children. Think about what we are doing in a non human centric point of view and you will see that it is not going to end well.

Another river crossing, Cuba

Another river crossing with fishing boats on the river bank, seen from our coach on our way from Holguin to Sancti Spiritus , Cuba. 21st March 2010. Cuba’s a great country for a holiday. Get away from the beaches and meet the people and enjoy the Cuban culture.

Many of our photos are just snaps but some of them aren’t too bad. If you would like one of our snaps please let us know.

I posted this last year. It’s Veganuary again so now’s the time to at least reduce the amount of meat you eat.
