animal agriculture is a major contributor to these fires. this is a forum about diet. let's get conversation started about the impact your diet has on the world your kids will be living in🌱 

Climate and weather follows patterns. The overall contribution of animal husbandry to this, is negligible.  

Thanks for engagement, their is alot of science behind animal agriculture being a top 3 contender in the climate crisis we are facing. A good place for you to start if your interested in learning more would be land use.look at the land use associated to animal agriculture, the deforestation associated with it. I'll happily debate it with you once you have had a look 💚 

vegan diets do nothing towards a healthy immunity system. Keto diets fight inflammation. However, i believe you can be both vegan and keto. 

I would disagree with that wholeheartedly. What do you think I am missing on a vegan diet that would be hindering my immunity? Omega 3? Vitamin B12? Iron?  

Hey Keith, I would ask you to do the same for agriculture, and how much natural habitat it has destroyed. There's a lot of research and data that will show that large scale veganism and vegetarianism will destroy the ecosystems a lot more than conscious omnivorous diets.  

What % of grains and soya do you estimate would be for human consumption at a global scale? Most of the land clearing you mention is to griw crops to feed animals. Global land use would drop about 75% infact if everyone opted for a vegan diet  

You’ve made some great progress Keith. However, if you’re politicisation of this platform puts other people off using it, you’re denying them the chance to get your results. The people here are on a personal journey, not a political crusade for a particular political party in the USA. 

Hey man, keep the politics out. I agree with you, but this is how you kill a community. 

People can read it or not read it. Community has got this way of ignoring issues which is what got us in this mess to begin with. I'm not even American (🙏 lucky me) but I have tonnes of respect for this particular post. This journey everyone is on should be about health, personal health and the health for future generations. If we can't talk about food miles and such on a food forum what hope is their? 

California stopped making fire breaks in the forests and cleaning to reduce fires. It's just neglect of the environment, the native indians use to back burn since 850AD. Thanks for spreading your political misinformation on a diet app 

Backburning is hugely important, as is drought conditions. Took me 3 secs to see that the average rainfall is decreasing. That's not political... That's a climate crisis. Facts are facts. The facts are that these fires and the ones in my country 🇦🇺 are a result of animal agriculture, big polluters, and a miriad of other things. If people can't see the direct link between farming practices and these fires. That's where I step in to help. Don't want to engage in it? Who is asking you to💚 Just bury ya head in the sand and move on  

Neither one of the Obamas is vegetarian. What's that tell you?  

That everyone has room to grow as a person 

Are you saying that if Michelle and Barrack Obama were to follow your dietary advice that they would grow as people? I think they’d just call the security guard to take you away. 

I think anyone who adopts a diet free of missery rape and slaughter grows as a person. 

Hahaha. Mate I'm a animal rights and climate activist. Being dragged away from security is just a normal weekend 🤣 

How is it that the fires are just occuring in just the west coast? It’s because people are getting paid to set fires. People have been arrested, members of antifa have been arrested. Thier have been several twitter posts of citizens & stopping these arsonists. Reports of moltiv cocktails out of thier car windows on the highway .Barrack /Barry Sortero is using this to push Biden’s green deal which would put an end to fossil fuels by 2035, driving up on energy/ costs of living. Research Jeffrey accord a prominent blm/antifa activist. https://thepostmillennial.com/antifa-activist-charged-for-fire-set-in-washington 

perhaps since you’re not from this country you don’t know what’s really going on. The mainstream news is misleading. I’ll leave it at that. 

How the fires start is actually kinda irrelevant and I'm from Australia so don't start telling me about fires. Our fires where bigger then the state of California. It's the conditions that worry me, your average rainfall is on the decline and your average temps are going up. 100 years ago their would not have been the fuel their is now. What mainstream media I don't own a tv? I get information from IPCC and from the BOM. Regardless if you think it's someone pushing an agenda or not the science says that your fires will only get worse, animal agriculture amongst other things are the reason your fires are increasingly getting bigger,hotter and harder to contain
