Conventional Livestock Feed is Destroying the Environment

The Amazon rainforest, & all of the wild critters in this habitat, are being completely wiped out & destroyed right now, namely due to factory farming. Yes, the US government is the main culprit to this biodiversity madness. Millions of animals are shoved into small boxes, living in their urine & feces, breathing in putrid & stale air, & are fed “food” not designed for their biology (therefore making them deathly ill), all to stack righteous dollar bills. It feels like there’s nothing we can truly do about this, but that simply isn’t the case...
There are many ways we humans are destroying the environment and the beautiful ecosystem we live upon, including leveling land for development and deforestation resulting from the logging industry.
18 MILLION acres of free-flowing plants, trees and animals are being butchered down EACH YEAR. This is causing greenhouse gases, pollution and climate change to rise 1000x faster than it would if it weren’t for us humans.
The world’s tropical rainforests are homing over 13 million species — or, around 75% of ALL plants and animals. The Amazon Rainforest alone is home to more than 2,000 known species of gorgeous, God-created animals from birds to reptiles to amphibians. It also houses 40,000 known plant species, many which are used as medicines. 1.6 billion people rely on forests for everything from food and water, to shelter.
Soybeans
These beans originated in Southeast Asia and were first domesticated by Chinese farmers around 1100 BC. By the first century AD, soybeans spread to Japan and many other countries, eventually making their way to the British colony of Georgia in 1765. As you can see they have been a staple in the human diet for many years, and are quite nutritious when prepared properly by fermentation and are grown organically without pesticides and herbicides.
MOST OF THIS LIVESTOCK FEED IS BEING FED TO THESE ANIMALS, NOT US HUMANS
According to the USDA, corn, barley, oats, sorghum, and soy are used as the main feed “foods” in America, with corn “accounting for more than 95% of total feed grain and production use.”
Not to mention that approximately 70 billion farm animals are being raised for food annually and 75% of the globally grown soy is being used to feed these cows, chickens, pigs and other feedlot animals.
But here’s where soy and these other grains becomes an even bigger problem: When cows, chickens, pigs, and other livestock are being fed these soybeans, corn, wheat, and grains, their immune system’s get extremely confused and resist homeostasis (aka good health balance).
They were not designed by God to chow down on these “foods” - and neither were we.
This is why you may see packages at the grocery store labeled “Antibiotic-Free” when you’re buying meat. These animals need to be PUMPED with antibiotics to resist their immune systems from shutting down due to eating foods not designed to be put into their bodies.
(It reminds me of traditional western medicine: give a pill, then when that pill causes an issue in your body, add another pill to help with that issue, then another, and another…)
These animals, when fed a diet rich in these foods like soy, become VERY inflamed because they are supposed to be chowing down on grass PASTURES (cows and pigs) and fruits, vegetables and select grains will keep chickens happy and ensure they are receiving a nutritionally balanced diet. Good choices include leafy greens, cooked beans, corn, non-sugary cereals and grains, berries, apples and most other fruits and vegetables -- NOT SOY, CORN, AND GRAINS!
I didn't even mention the fact that soybeans tend to be heavily sprayed down with the weed-killer, cancer-causing glyphosate (aka Roundup). This toxic spray is legal in the US to be used on crops like soy, wheat, corn, grapes and hundreds of others, but is completely illegal in Mexico, Europe, Russia, and more. 90% of Americans have this health-declining glyphosate floating around our bodies. But don’t worry, just take the research-backed anti-inflammatory, glyphosate-remover BiomeMedic by Purium to remove 75% of this in as little as 6 weeks (a double-blind trial on this)!
It makes me sick to think we humans are destroying nature to support a SICK system of factory farming. 90% of soy and other CASH (for the government's pocket) CROPS are being used to feed cows, pigs, chickens, etc and more than half of these soybeans on the shelves in the US and being fed to these poor pigs, cows, and chickens, are from just 2 countries: Argentina and Brazil.
To wrap things up, factory farming and agriculture is responsible for a staggering 80% of deforestation and biodiversity depletion. This is causing humans and animals to lose their precious homes, therefore killing them off, and throwing our entire planet into a whirlpool of death and despair.
Soy production is one of the major culprits, destroying MILLIONS of acres of land in South America every year. But before you go out and start blaming tempeh, remember that the vast majority of soy is being used to feed livestock, not humans.
