    What the Health is a documentary on Netflix that explains the health benefits of an all plant based diet. It is a very biased documentary. It tries to get you to go Vegan. No animal products what so ever.

    Some might say my mom is a bit of a health nut, and she definitely avoids feeding us processed foods and GMO products, but she doesn't cook vegan. The fibers and proteins packed inside of organic and dieted (grass fed) meats are very important for a balanced nutrient intake. Obviously, I agree more with the writer than the show producer.

    I heard of this show several times. I want to watch it for myself to see what its all about. I also would never go Vegan.

    The article talks about a book on how animals should have rights as in equal consideration. Animals have the ability to suffer as well as a human being. Why should or should not animals have rights?

    Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.

    I enjoyed reading this article as well. Animals have very similar traits as humans. They eat, feel, and suffer just as humans do. Why should we strict them of their rights? Just because they do not have a voice to defend themselves does not mean we should ignore the equality they deserve.

    I loved this! Animals have such a huge place in my heart and definitely deserve all the rights as us humans do. I hate hearing stories or seeing videos posted on Facebook of animals being neglected.. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing to an animal who cannot even defend themselves. They just want to be loved and nurtured.

    The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.

    This article details the steps we can take to helping control climate change through what we eat. This article follows a study that explains how much land is needed to offset the growing concerns of climate change.

    Water is constantly being used, whether its simply for drinking, or maybe for watering the plants. Either way AZ doesn't have an endless supply of water. It's good for people to learn how to start being more conservative with the amount of water used on a daily basis.

    Water is always being used, Taking a shower, drinking, doing your dishes, etc. I feel like people abuse water for sure, I'm happy Arizona is stepping up and trying to conserve water. I like how SRP made a list on how to teach us how to use water careful

      A way to prevent food scarcity as much as possible while water shortage becomes a real time issue
  • rely on groundwater that’s already overpumped.
  • The nation’s largest reservoir already has hit the level that triggers mandatory shortages — 1,075 feet (328 meters) above sea level.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.
