    Very inspirational. When I turned vegan 10 years ago, I hoped we would have gotten further already, but I still feel like I'm alone. To see this gives me hope for a better, kinder, cleaner future.

      I understand. You are not. I want to live on a farming Community, intentional Community..just trying to figure out how to do this. More and more people are becoming vegan💗So many sick people on this planet. Many people have to change or die.. stay sick. it's that serious.

    Awesome that you made the change! I used to raise pairs of feeder pigs, and I aspired to raise more meat animals and do a micro dairy too. I had a health scare earlier this year. I started watching videos related to reducing cancer risk by diet, and whole food plant based diets are the best way. I was inclined towards vegetarian diets most of my life anyway, but I have long believed the fallacy of carbs causing type 2 diabetes. I learned the truth, it's fat from animal products. It was an easy change for me after that.

      No it isn't, grazing livestock in high rainfall, hilly areas of the world like Ireland and New Zealand are the most sustainable things to raise in these areas, whereas in areas like East Anglia and the Russian Steppes it is flat and the soil is most suited to raising cereals and other crops. The grasslands sequester far more carbon than is produced by the livestock. Making it far more carbon neutral than eating avocados and nuts

    That's my dream life: living in peace with nature, nothing else. It's been years since I loved Sweden because of his Respect for Mother Nature, and I'm seriously planning to come and live there. My desire would be to work at some farm like this, but I don't have any idea where and how to search it, I have no university degree and it also isn't a popular job; today to be a farmer is "unconvenient", but that's simply what I dream.
    If anyone is reading this, have you any idea how to get a job in Sweden as a "green" farmer like this guy?

      John P what does fertility have to do with being a vegan? Nothing wrong with being vegan (this is coming from a non-vegan or vegetarian)

    • @alexmoore9580
      @alexmoore9580 5 років тому +4

      John P Ik Europe has a huge fertility problem, my question is how did you connect vegans with low fertility?

    • @alexmoore9580
      @alexmoore9580 5 років тому +1

      John P I eat both plants and animals, I know vegans lack proteins, or if they don’t they take them artificially, but I don’t think there’s a correlation between low birth rates and vegans. India for instance didn’t eat and doesn’t eat red meat and until recently had a very high fertility rate

    • @alexmoore9580
      @alexmoore9580 5 років тому

      @John P yeah, that's the biggest fault with industrialization, it destroys a nation ability to reproduce and to keep its demographics stable. That among political correctness, is the West's greatest problem today. I don't mind muslims or africans living in Europe so long as they enter legally and they are willing to make Europe a better place, however, what I do mind is when there's hundreds of thousands and millions of non-europeans entering europe and they reproduce at a higher rate when Europeans themselves barely even reproduce. This is a formula for a native population becoming a minority on its own land.

Lets make it nice and simple, it's about 8 times what ever you have for animals now .... So imagine all the forests and woodlands near you disappearing thanks to veganism, saving the planet by wiping out the wildlife...
