Sacred Cow – en hälsosam motvikt till The Game Changers

The Game Changers. Cowspiracy. What the Health. Forks Over Knives. Raden på filmer som förespråkar en vegankost och skyr kött som pesten.

Jag äter personligen väldigt mycket grönsaker, men att ha lite animalier i sin kost är helt nödvändigt för att i längden (läs i längden – man kan må mycket bra på kort sikt utan) kunna behålla hälsan. Och gör man det på ett ansvarsfullt sätt så är det bättre (!) för klimatet och miljön.

Här kommer nu en film som kallas Sacred Cow där personer som Dr. Mark Hyman, Robb Wolf och Chris Kresser är med. Se den gratis här: https://access.sacredcow.info/watch/

The Case for Better Meat
At our grocery stores and dinner tables, even the most thoughtful consumers are overwhelmed by the number of considerations to weigh when choosing what to eat—especially when it comes to meat. Guided by the noble principle of least harm, many responsible citizens resolve the ethical, environmental and nutritional conundrum by quitting meat entirely. But can a healthy, resilient and conscientious food system exist without animals?

Sacred Cow probes the fundamental moral, environmental and nutritional quandaries we face in raising and eating animals. In this project, we focus our lens on the largest and perhaps most maligned of farmed animals, the cow.

COMMON ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT MEAT…

• Red meat causes cancer, obesity and heart disease. 
• We’re eating too much meat.
• Humans don’t need to consume animal products to be healthy. 
• Raising livestock is bad for the environment.
• It’s unethical to eat animals.
• If we can produce meat in labs, then why should we eat animals? 

The connection between nutrition and ecosystem health is starting to make some headway into mainstream media. Everyone is trying to figure out how to feed the world in the most sustainable and healthy way. However, we’ve allowed corporate interest, big food, flawed science, click-bait media and naïve celebrities to steer us away from what a truly nutrient-dense, ethical and sustainable, and regenerative food system really is. The mantra that “all meat is bad” influences how we’re training dietitians, shaping our dietary guidelines, designing school lunch policies, and funding for nutrition-related research.

THE SOLUTION IS REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE.

The truth is, well-managed cattle are the unlikely heroes of this story. We can increase biodiversity, improve soil health, increase the water holding capacity of the land and raise high quality, nutrient-dense protein, while preserving family farming communities. Removing these animals from our food system could cause more harm than good.
