  WOW! This video is absolutely mind-blowing. At he beginning I did wonder how meat was going to tie into global warming, but it's absolutely appalling to find out that livestock produces more pollution than transport around the world. This video is one of many on youtube, and it shows us how we are all the ones to blame for global warming as well. Our demands for meat have lead to immediate production of "synthesized" meat that may taste juicier to us, but is actually really bad for our health. The decisions we make for our diet affect our health and the environment, so always think twice.

  This article only discusses the affect of having a meat heavy diet once you get older. This however implies that the habits when you make when you are younger stick with you. Therefore having a heavy meat diet isn't ideal, and you should reconsider.

  This article also discusses a meat heavy diet from an American point of view, but that does not mean it doesn't apply to Canadians. Consuming various American products we also need to watch for preserved meat and watch the choices we make.

  My question does focus on Indian food and related health benefits and concerns, but this doesn't mean that other countries and cultures aren't facing the same issues. The world in general is in a state where there are now more overall obese people than starving. The surplus of food has risen, and the cost of food has fallen. We need to control how much we eat and which foods we spend our money on (no McDonald's!)

Canada may be seeing a rise in health concerns, but we are far better off than many other countries. Yes, we are not a perfect country and do have health issues across the nation, but we are still very capable of providing health care for almost all Canadians. As leaders it is our responsibility to help other developing nations like India, to improve on their health systems, and be role models. We do our best to help around the world through Canada's International Assistance at Work programme, that has helped many people in poverty over the last few decades.
