im assuming the statement "every scientist in the world now believes this" (speaking of global warming) is tongue in cheek because that would prove his ignorance right there. what about the laziness of Americans? I eat TONS of meat, and fastfood but im not fat? its called being active. industrialization=increase in quality of life. he fails to mention life expectancy has increased from 47 to over 78 from 1900 to now (even with all this "horrible" food and "global warming")

I always watch this talk when I feel like ordering a pizza or going to McDonald's. I've lost more than 20 pounds that way.

@thefredsociety Potatoes, rice, pasta, semolina, oats, polenta, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, fruit, avocado...etc. It is easy to reduce meat intake. Plus the extra variety is both delicious and a refreshing change.
