Keynote and discussion about "The cut between meat and sustainability” within the Corporate Responsibility, Quality Management and Traceability Module at the School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences HAFL.
Human Paleolithic diet was a Carnivorous diet. Like wolf, Homo was an omnivore but he was dependent on a highly carnivorous diet for his survival. Interdisciplinary evidence supports that hypothesis.
Multidisciplinary attempt to reconstruct human nutrition through the Paleolithic shows that a highly carnivorous (meat based) diet was not only prevalent but essential to the existence of our species for almost 2 million years.

The purpose of this presentation is to help people make more informed choices of food and beverages, leading to a reduction in the overall global consumption of animal products, which will increase Earth’s chances of salvation and well-being!

Feast is a futuristic food interface which brings people together to create social harmony, it enables everyone to buy, sell and share food. The future of food sharing is a feast for everyone.

Factory Farming !
Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience that factory farms are dangerous and abusive and therefore
need to be banned.
!
Introduction:
Attention Getter/Credibility: Close your eyes and step into the world of an individual. You are born into
a world where nights and days are never constant (attention getter). You are fed three to five times a day,
but no one is there to nurture you. Not even the numerous others crammed into your living space. You
grow frantic, scared, and sickly. Now open your eyes, to reality.
Reason to Listen: What I have just described is one of America’s worst ghettos. You know this
individual who is trapped in this environment. He is your breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the meat you
eat. Today’s farms not only abuse their animals they also produce harmful diseases and environmental
hazards that affect each and every one of us, regardless of whether you consume animal products or not.
Thesis: The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in
their natural environments.
Preview: Today, I will explain how factory farms produce animal abuse, disease and ecological hazards.
Then, I will explain why standards the U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat
industry to raise its animals in their natural environment. Finally, I will discuss how banning factory
farms will allow us better enjoy animal meat products in a cleaner, healthier environment.
!
I. What used to be Old McDonald’s farms have now become factory farms that produce animal
abuse, disease and ecological hazards.
A. Animals are abused on factory farms (Marquadt, 1993)
1. Broiler chickens are often debeaked, due to fear of cannibalism (Jasper, 1992).
2. Cattle are often dehorned and castrated without anesthetics.
3. Geese are often overfed with grains and steroids in order to produce larger livers
for pate (Singer, 1989).
B. The unhealthy environments created by factory farms promote the spread of many
diseases that remain in the animal products we consume (Fox, 1990).
1. Every year an increasing number of children and elderly die of food poisoning
that is related to factory farm practices.
2. Meats on the market are often deformed or full of bad chemicals.
C. The mass production of animals and the resulting amount of waste creates lasting damage
to our ecosystem.
1. The release of high levels of urine and fecal matter into our
lakes contributes to the contamination of our waters, wells and topsoil.
2. The release of high levels of methane into the atmosphere contributes to the
depletion of the ozone layer.
!
Transition: All these things have become a problem that seems like it may never get fixed. There is
however, a way that the U.S. can begin to change things for farms.

Why eat low on the food chain from 2010 cip talk
1. A vegan approach to Environmental Management Dr. Michael C. Morris Bay of Plenty Polytechnic
2. Don’t Shoot the Messenger How does the scene from MacBeth show the way we react to news we don’t like? Rachel Carson published silent spring in 1962 The industry reacted by personal attacks. Rachel Carson is an embittered spinster, or a Lesbian (therefore by implication ignorant)
3. The Food and Agriculture Organisation published “livestock’s long shadow” in 2006. Here is Federated Farmers’ intelligent, measured and scientific response “it must be written by a vegan” (and therefore by implication wrong)
6. Environmental degradation has been blamed on... Population Transport Industrial growth Capitalism Lack of capitalism Communism Lack of communism Government corruption God’s wrath Etc...
8. Ecology 101 For every step up the food chain, the amount of resources (land, water, fuel, energy etc.) goes up by a factor of ten So passing food through a cow before eating it is very inefficient
10. Agriculture is responsible for 50% of global warming in New Zealand. More than any other industry This is caused by methane from cow burps (not farts) and nitrous oxide from animal waste Worldwide, livestock accounts for 18% of all greenhouse gases. More than transport.
25. Some facts Land clearance for farms is a leading cause of sediment build up and coral reef destruction Land clearance for meat is the leading cause of Amazonian deforestation Almost all of New Zealand’s lowland Kahikatea forest has gone New Zealand is a biodiversity “hotspot” Import of Palm kernel is contributing to rain forest destruction in Borneo
29. Some figures 90% of Waikato streams are too polluted to swim in Farming in the Waikato contributes more to stream pollution than the Hamilton and Ngarawahia sewage works A piggery of 16,000 pigs produces as much untreated sewage as a city of 23,000 Reid’s piggery in Carterton and the Kuku Beach Road piggery have been convicted for pumping raw sewage into the rivers
33. Some Facts New Zealand fertiliser use has doubled in the last 10 years Most of this finds its way into streams Nauru’s fishery has been totally destroyed by phosphate mining Present phosphate in New Zealand comes from disputed territory in the Western Sahara
34. Human rights Livestock agriculture cannot feed the world Population that could be fed if everyone shared the dietary preferences and food system efficiencies of: Source: Bender, W.H. 1997. How much food will we need in the 21st Century? Environment. 39: 6-11, 27-28. 1 The actual world population in 1990 was 5.3 billion.

54. Myth 2: Meat is necessary for protein The truth: Have a look at the protein tables below
55. Protein composition and price of eggs and various plant sources. Food composition data comes from the New Zealand Food Composition Tables, 6th Edition (Ministry of Health/Crop and Food Research, 2003). Price data comes from Woolworths online (www.woolworths.co.nz, accessed 23 June 2006).
56. Myth 3: Meat eating is what gave humans their brain power The truth: Genetic studies show human brain power is more to do with the ability to digest starch. There are several copies of the amylase gene in humans.
57. Myth 4: God wants us to eat meat. The truth: Adam and Eve and all the animals were vegan before the fall. Gen. 1:29
58. Other rationalisations Our ancestors ate meat Response. Our ancestors also lived in caves, spoke in grunts, had poor hygiene and did not own cell phones. Most of us have moved on since then.
59. Meat tastes nice. Response: Since when has pleasure been a basis for moral decision making. Maybe children taste nice too!
60. Animal eat other animals Response. Most animals don’t eat other animals. And why should we base our morality on the few that do.
61. Conclusion – something to think about Can you be an environmentalist and continue to... Drive a SUV Chop down trees Pour pollutants into streams Take food from the poor Or Eat high on the food chain
