A few days ago I had a little debate about veganism and farm animals in a post from . Coincidentally yesterday I finished an animation for a televising report about the farm animals in Germany and although I did not receive the whole script, only the part that I had to do, had a very interesting detail in the text.
Well the text of this animation said that in Germany there were about 13 million cattle, 28 million pigs, 50 million laying hens and 160 million chickens for fattening and that these produce about 310 billion liters of manure. And what about this manure? It is used for the creation of fertilizer that is thrown in the fields where plants are grown industrially. These fertilizers contaminate the groundwater most of the time.
That is, many of the vegetables that are grown (according to a comment I received) are used to feed the cattle. But the animal husbandry manure (according to the report I worked on) is used as fertilizer for agricultural crops (I imagine that not only for animal consumption, also for human consumption). Do not know how dependent, in quantity, are an industry of the other but evidently a great dependence there is if you look at the numbers.
For me, this largely supports my argument that the problem of all this is not eating one thing or the other but the way it is produced today ... EVERYTHING.
Many have asked me how we would do it if we did not have that industrialization of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry that we currently have, causing much of the destruction of many invaluable natural resources for human life (not for the planet, the planet will survive even if we extinguish ourselves as a species, never forget this) and the answer is very easy. It can be done as before the "Green Revolution" propagated by the Rockefellers throughout the world from the 1960s.
If it resembles, in the name, the famous color revolutions we have had in several countries recently is not pure coincidence. In the words of the person who coined the name in 1968, the one who was USAID (CIA) administrator at that time.
It is not a violent Red Revolution like that of the Soviets, nor is it a White Revolution like that of the Shah of Iran. I call it the Green Revolution.
Of course we would lose some things that we now consider "normal" but that are really all that we have been accustomed to with mass industrial production. Things like big stores and super markets, that would definitely have to disappear. The question is, who does this really affect? Definitely not the vast majority of people who would give us equal to buy in a large market or in a small local store. This affects the great millionaires, industrialists and entrepreneurs like the Rockefellers, only to them.
So now you know one of the possible reasons why this status quo still exists today despite all the struggles and social movements.
