Sanna, I fully agree. The sooner people realise that ‘more’ doesn’t mean ‘better’, the better off we will all be. Like children, we want to eat the whole cake, as quickly as possible, instead of taking the time to savour what we have, without always asking for more.

… and even worse is that those “too many chickens” are not free range chickens that has had a good life. One industry is supporting the mistreatment of animals in another.

People talk about how over populated this earth is but that’s not the real problem, we are wasting resources not out of need but out of greed. With the knowledge and technology that we have today there would be no problem to feed the world in a sustainable way, but we have to invest money into education and system changes and no one wants to pay. Well, not no one really, people like Miguel and Dan does do it and because of them others will follow.

Hi Sanna,

yes, I was rather shocked when I saw that video myself, calling chicken ‘sustainable protein’ because there are ‘too many chickens in the world’. Talk about marketing-spin, these people have no shame!

My grandfather was a fisherman. I often wonder, when I read about the state of the seas today, just what he would think of it all. I think he’d be ashamed of what we’ve done. But hearing about people like Miguel, and Dan too, gives me some encouragement.

It’s terrible to think of, feeding chicken to fish or feeding wild fish to farm-fish. Makes me wonder what they were thinking.
This is a huge problem for those of us that want to do the right thing when we are shopping, things are often not as good as they seem and it’s hard to find out what the difference is and how to make the right choices.

Interesting and informative post Tony! =)
