Pesticides that are banned in the US finds it’s way in foods in other trade partner nations. They also tend to comeback in foreign produced foods as ingredients back to US. Our food system right now is broken. As someone said, because we grow animal feed in Brazil, take that on a truck for 3000km, put it on a plane to Japan where it travels another 3000km to a livestock farm. Then the slaughtered animal is transported many kilometers as meat. That’s not sustainable. We need communal living arrangements, including when it comes to food. Which is produced in the community. It’s possible because some communities are already doing it. We need a system which creates everything in the community such as employment. So it’s sustainable. Then we could have communities share knowledge to learn what works and what not. Like open source. This change is possible at the individual level as oppose to system change, where masses are needed. So please choose what’s on your plate. The best diet is a whole food plant fueled one, whether it’s for most of us and for the planet.
