Because the dangers of
an omnivorous diet are well enough known by our food producers, it could be the
very reason why the information is suppressed, or rather why people are swamped
with ‘misinformation’. There are influential elements in our society, especially
in the animal food industry, whose interest is to make money from producing and
selling foods which are not optimal to good health. Because they are so well
established, so insistent and their advertising so clever, their products sell
well ... and as the Animal Industries thrive, so human health deteriorates and
Animal Welfare worsens.
You’d think by now we humans would have wised up. With
such advances made in food technology, we should be demanding healthy food, but
the animal business is so persuasive that nothing ever changes for the better.
Mass production means mass demand means low costs and a lot of sophisticated
scientific ingenuity, used to make foods addictively tasty. The wealthy
identify themselves by the rich foods they eat and the aspiring classes emulate
them. The poorest people eat the cheapest foods available, which are mainly
plant-based foods, but whenever their circumstances improve they increase the
animal protein content of their diet ... and that unfortunately brings them
closer to a whole new range of deadly, diet-related diseases, already prevalent
amongst wealthier people.
