June 4, 2014 — Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD

with Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist

Earth Day 2014 has come and gone and once again the focus was on how “veg centric” diets will help save the world and our health.

But is this really true?

Kaayla Daniel says it’s not that simple. Far from contributing to personal and planetary health, the “Meatless Monday” trend and popularity of plant based diets encourage more of a feel good consciousness rather than adoption of genuine, sustainable solutions.

Learn why Kaayla and Sarah are keeping our Mondays meaty:

• Why the true threat to our environment is not animals.
• Why plowing pastures and rangeland to plant crops is not sustainable and won’t do much to feed the hungry and save the environment.
• How America’s topsoil has been devastated by mono cropping and how animals are the key to restoring the health of our soils.
• Why if people give up meat, the alternatives: grains, beans and tofu are not a good option for seekers of truly vibrant health or those concerned with the environment.
