Welcome to Rising Anxieties.

This is where we get together every week to talk about what's worrying the animal ag industry.

Everybody has their interests that happens to be ours.

And of course, it also involves what's worrying me.

And probably what's worrying you, because who wouldn't be worried?

All right.

Do we have two articles from Ag Daily, which really makes me think that sometimes I think

they don't worry about us at all?

And other times, I think they really are panicked.

All right, the first one is by Farm Babe. That is Michelle Miller, who, just play up

every time I say it. She calls herself Farm Babe. She writes a column for AgTaley. Anyway,

no, veganism isn't the only way to eat sustainably.

Obviously, somebody's been, she thinks that a lot of people think that it is, which, you know, it is.

But, all right, so she points out that if you Google sustainable diets, you will frequently be told at the very least, you need to drastically reduce your intake of animal products.

I'm so happy to hear that.

Sometimes I think it's just in my little bubble, but apparently a lot of people are getting that info.

The United Nations itself recommends moving toward a plant-based diet to support sustainability.

This must be driving them nuts.

But you knew there was butt coming, didn't you?

There's a lot more sustainability than it might seem. Actually, no, Michelle, there isn't.

It's exactly what it seems. If your goal is to support sustainability, you can absolutely do that.

If your goal isn't, you know, who cares? Like the planet, we'll find another one.
