Summary
Just like the car you drive, what you eat has a massive impact on the environment. From excessive greenhouse gas emissions to large carbon footprints and rapid global warming, your food is literally affecting every single person on earth.
So, could the meat-heavy standard American diet be making the planet sick?
Discover why the healthiest diet for you is also the healthiest for the earth when Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE.
Also covered:
- GMO vs. non-GMO
- Organic vs. non-organic
- Pesticides
- Water needs for meat versus plant foods
- And more
Plus, forget grass-fed beef. How about poop-fed instead? It's happening and people are eating it. Dr. Barnard and Chuck discuss one of the most shocking and disgusting practices in the meat industry.
