Within a few years everybody will eat plant based without knowing it!

The first things I would say as a Belgian citizen are: things are going well and don't change.

Really, Steven, it's good?

Today, in 2019, children who should be our future, are still starving on this planet and I say that we shouldn't change, that it's good?

This is a joke, right?

Let's assume that these people have access to clean air and clean water (which still many people on this planet do not have access to) and make a plan to feed them.

What is food?

If we leave out our foreign processed foods, we probably end up with fruit, vegetables and meat.

Fruit and vegetables only need air, sun, soil and water.

I know it can be quite a challenge to create it, now with our current knowledge of growing plants, it should be pretty easy to provide everyone on this planet with fruits and vegetables.

However, when it comes to meat, it is much more challenging.

Why?

For animals, what does for example a cow eat to provide me with the hamburger? Right, (fruit) majority vegetables.

That means that we don't eat the fruit and vegetables ourselves, and feed the cow with it to get the meat I think I need.

2/3 of all agricultural land worldwide is cultivated to feed animals.

I need at least 8 calories to feed to the animals, to get 1 animal calorie back.

That means that if I would use these fruits and vegetables on 2/3 of all agricultural land worldwide and feed them to the people, I would be able to feed at least 8 times more people with calories.

We are now with 7 billion, which means that we can go up to 56 billion, the future looks good, I would say.

Of course we're not that smart, we really want to insist on eating meat above every moral aspect.

Today we are with 7 billion and of course a large part of them has no access to meat, in the near future we are 10 billion, how are we going to feed them?

If we can make alternative meat from fruit and vegetables, then fewer calories need to be made, then that seems to me to be the only solution for the long term future.

That is why I am convinced that sooner or later we will all be eating plant based.

Why do we still eat meat, are we afraid that we will have a shortage and because we love its taste?

If we can offer the same, with the same taste and without cruelty to animals, who wouldn't buy it?

Since we're talking about calories, imagine that you're out in nature, just with:

• A friend
• A chicken
• A cow
• Some plants
• Some fruit trees

And now you are starving to death.

What would your first instinct be to eat to survive?

And do you eat that thing raw and kill it yourself?

Since there is an abundance of all that in our modern world, make sure this is the choice you make today!
