The destructive agricultural system now in place devastates
millions of acres of forest and grassland in order to grow corn,
soybeans, wheat, and other grains and legumes for animals, who convert
plant carbohydrate into profitable and unhealthy fat and protein. The
food and medical industries are guaranteed lucrative incomes at the
expense of starving people, wildlife, aquifers, biosystems, and future
generations. Ironically, we’re growing far more grain than we could
ever eat ourselves. The billions of dollars invested in hospitals,
drugs, and pharmaceutical and medical facilities require a reliable and
steady flow of clogged arteries and cancers to stay profitable and pay
back the bankers in the background.
