但是我們真的缺乏糧食嗎?儘管內含缺乏效率的層面,但全球有三分之ㄧ的穀物及超過90%的大豆,都被用來餵養牲畜。這些畜牧飼料足以餵飽20億人口。

"Everything else takes too long and we don’t have time. So we have to choose the vegetarian diet; no more animals breeding. Choose organic farming, helping each other, sharing the food that we have.
Because if we are vegetarian, all of us, we will have so much food to share with everybody; no one will ever go to sleep hungry at night anymore. And then we will have saved a lot of time, energy, money to help them also combat disease and rebuild their lives. Everything’s possible, because there will be no more war, even with animals. Peace begins at home." - 2008 Critical Moments to Save the Planet: What Can I Do? Seminar -June 29, 2008(2) |
