  • Meat Consumption and Potential Reduction for Environmental and Public Health Benefits
    MEAT CONSUMPTION AND POTENTIAL REDUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS by GARRETT LENTZ A thesis submitted to the University of Otago in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography June 2019 Abstract The focus of this thesis was to better understand meat consumption and investigate how a shift to more plant-based diets may best be promoted. The various environmental impacts linked to animal agriculture were explored and a movement towards more plant-based diets was found as a solution that could alleviate environmental impacts, along with the added benefit of improving public health and helping to safeguard future food security. Shifting a behaviour that is as prevalent as meat consumption is no easy task however, as high rates of meat intake have become normalised in many developed nations, being influenced not only by the desires of individual actors’, but also structures within society that encourage continued production and consumption. Potential economic, regulatory, and informational measures to encourage meat reduction were explored and after weighing multiple factors, the potential for information provision to shift consumer meat intake held promise. However, before further inquiry into potential information provision measures, it was advisable to first obtain a more thorough understanding of consumers’ meat consumption within the relatively understudied nation of New Zealand. Thus, the first study of the thesis sought to better understand New Zealand consumers’ meat intake through the distribution of a nationwide questionnaire. Awareness of meat’s environmental impacts was determined to be low and the most common motivations for reducing meat were considerations of cost and health.

  • THE FIVE BEST FOOD FILMS of ALL TIME EFF Speech on Tuesday, March 21, 2017
    THE FIVE BEST FOOD FILMS OF ALL TIME EFF Speech on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 By Chris Palmer Mention plan for evening and EcoComedy winners at end and thank TNC. As I’ve said before, this evening is pretentiously called “An Evening with Chris Palmer.” The Festival asked me to do this event about 12 years ago, and I’ve been doing it annually ever since. Tonight I want to talk about the five best food films of all time. Now everyone please stand up, find someone you’ve never met before, and discuss for two minutes the best food films you’ve ever seen. Go! Ask audience members for their ideas! You may have noticed that I didn’t give you much structure for this question. Does food refer to nutrition, agriculture, factory farming, obesity, food waste, junk food, global food trade, or what? Also, by best food films, was I referring to impact? Did the film influence consumers’ purchasing decisions? Did policy makers take action to address, for example, the wretchedness of the standard American diet? Was there a lot of press coverage? Or by best food films, did I simply mean your favorite? As you can see, selecting the five best food films is complicated. Food is important to me for personal reasons. My father died of prostate cancer, and I have his genes. As I’ve researched and learned about cancer, I’ve become convinced that a plant-based diet is the best way to prevent prostate cancer. At the same time, a plant-based diet is one of the most powerful ways to fight climate change and to stop animal cruelty.

  • The Sustainable Food Cities Award

The Award is open to any place - be it a city, town, borough, county or district - which: has an established cross-sector food partnership in place; is a member of the Sustainable Food Cities Network; and is implementing an action plan on healthy and sustainable food. There are three tiers to the award - bronze, silver and gold - each requiring an increasing level of achievement in terms of action and outcomes. Details on how to apply for the bronze and silver awards are presented below. The gold award will be launched in 2015. Applications will be reviewed on a six monthly basis by a national panel of experts. Places achieving an award will be able to use an award badge in their communications and marketing materials. For each level of the award, a place must meet a number of minimum requirements relating to their: 1) food partnership, 2) action plan and 3) the extent to which healthy and sustainable food is embedded in local policy. As well as meeting these minimum requirements, applicants will have to provide evidence of action and outcomes across six key food issues: 1. Promoting healthy and sustainable food to the public. 2. Tackling food poverty, diet-related ill-health and access to affordable healthy food. 3. Building community food knowledge, skills, resources and projects.

  • The China Study
    www.ebook3000.com Resounding acclaim for T. Colin Campbell and The China Study “Backed by well-documented, peer-reviewed studies and overwhelming statistics, the case for a vegetarian diet as a foundation for a healthy lifestyle has never been stronger.” —Bradley Saul, OrganicAthlete.com “The China Study is the most important book on nutrition and health to come out in the last seventy-five years. Everyone should read it, and it should be the model for all nutrition programs taught at universities. The reading is engrossing if not astound- ing. The science is conclusive. Dr. Campbell’s integrity and commitment to truthful nutrition education shine through.” —David Klein, Publisher/Editor Living Nutrition Magazine “The China Study describes a monumental survey of diet and death rates from cancer in more than 2,400 Chinese counties and the equally monumental efforts to explore its significance and implications for nutrition and health. Dr. Campbell and his son, Thomas, have written a lively, provocative, and important book that deserves widespread attention.” —Frank Rhodes, PhD, President (1978–1995) Emeritus, Cornell University “Colin Campbell’s The China Study is an important book, and a highly readable one. With his son, Tom, Colin studies the relationship between diet and disease, and his conclusions are startling. The China Study is a story that needs to be heard.” —Robert C. Richardson, PhD, Nobel Prize Winner, Professor of Physics and Vice Provost of Research, Cornell University “The China Study is the account of a ground-breaking research that provides the answers long sought by physicians, scientists, and health-conscious readers.

  • Vegan Transition Guide for Any Person Who May Need Help in Navigating the Vegan World
    ©Planet 9 “Go Vegan! Go Vegan! Go Vegan! But what the heck is Vegan? Why do we hear it so often and how the heck do I “Go Vegan?” So very often we see and hear those words along with the shocking claims associated with it. But nowhere can we find a school, a course, a class, a book, or film on how to actually Go Vegan. Interestingly, the Go Vegan command phrase can leave one with a sense of being judged, stigmatized, looked down upon, and helpless, so most people throw in the towel before ever even having the towel. Had I had access to a guide from those very same voices earlier in my life, I would have Gone Vegan a long time ago. I myself have watched countless family members, friends, and associates suffer from numerous ailments such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, clogged arteries, obesity, anemia, anger, depression, skin problems, etc., and wondered Why? Once upon a time, I too was was unwell; and well on my way to those same countless ailments. As a suburban Marylander, I was raised on food full of animal fats, processed sugars, and chemicals, and not to mention absorbing the torture, fear and pain of those animals. I crafted this Vegan Transition Guide for any person who may need help in navigating the Vegan World. Moreover, I especially dedicate this guide to every person who is seeking positive change in his or her lifestyle. Additionally anyone who is suffering from a lifestyle issue, whether it be mental, physical or spiritual, or to anyone who is witnessing a friend, associate, or loved one suffer from the same, I dedicate my guide to you as well.
