When ecological food destroys the environment
Sometimes rainforests like Amazonas are destroyed because the new plantations are needed for creating food for vegetarians. The food vegetables need space and this is another side of medal in the vegetarian food. Of course, vegetables are more ecological than meat, but the problem is that those vegetables are destroying the jungle. Vegetables like soy are important for replacing the animal- or meat proteins, but the problem is that those vegetables are taking space from the normal or natural vegetables of the jungle.
And this is one of the biggest problems with food production in the world. Same time when we are protecting the species from hunting, we are destroying their natural environment. So we don't hunt those species, we are causing their extinction by destroying their food. And this is the problem with the world. When the population of the human race is growing, we need more and more food.
Even if we would not eat meat anymore, things like corn are replacing natural vegetables, because that kind of food must be produced more than ever before. And the thing is that food must produce somewhere. One of the biggest problems with food production is that most of the rainforests are in the areas, where is the best place to grow vegetables. And that kind of thing is the worst and biggest threat to rainforests.
When we are thinking about things like climate change and problems with the entire planet, we must realize that overpopulation is one of the things, that we must start to handle. When we want to protect the environment, the thing that we must understand is the thing that people are living in the areas, what we want to protect.
At the same time, when some people are saying, that we must not kill too many mosquitos in some areas, we are forgetting that there live people whose family members are dying malaria. The reason why those mosquitos are needed is that the perch of Nile would survive. And the restaurants are producing food by that fish. But those people who are living in the upriver of the Nile would not ever eat that perch.
The poison named DDT offers the solution for the mosquito problem, but it causes probably some kind of changes in chromosomes or behavior of the animals. The thing is that DDT(1) is very cheap and easy to use. And the data of the chromosomal changes collected a short period. We know that Agent Orange(2) causes genetic mutations, but does the DDT cause similar mutations is the question mark.
