GREEN-RATED diets protect wildlife and biodiversity in several ways. Meat and dairy products that come from factory farms are fed grains and legumes from monoculture farms that pollute land and waterways. Even if they aren't grown organically, plant-based alternatives create less than one tenth the threat to local wildlife because there is no calorie conversion loss. In addition, federal governments kill millions of "predators" and "pests" each year to protect the profits of ranchers. Countless species are driven from their homes to make way for free-range and grass-fed meats, as well as plant-based products that are common junk food ingredients. The best way to stop these practices is to stop consuming RED-RATED foods and share this information.
