Food Choices, Climate Change and Global Solutions:
Addressing Climate, Hunger, Biodiversity, Pollution and much more.

Living at a time when our society and ecosystem are facing enormous challenges can leave us feeling powerless to change the course of things to come. We dutifully vote in each election, hoping for progress. Still, even when environment-friendly leaders are in office, we’re often left waiting as meaningful legislation can take many years to pass and implement.

Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto for a discussion about how there’s no need to wait for the next election to powerfully impact the future of our world. This show outlines the enormous impact of our collective food choices on our world’s life support system, food supply, resources, climate, infectious diseases, and the other creatures (human and nonhuman) with whom we share this planet.

Listen in to learn how simple it is to be part of a growing, positive movement that is making a real difference in our world and will leave you feeling more empowered, alive, and connected.

In this show, Bob outlines the surprising way we use our agricultural lands and echoes the findings of the world scientific community by outlining how our over-emphasis on animal-derived foods has put a tremendous strain on so many areas of our ecosystem.

He also discusses how, according to the nation’s most respected health organizations and researchers, eating so many animal products is entirely unnecessary and actually harmful to our bodies.

Tune in for our annual discussion of this topic that will give you a broad understanding of how your food choices make a difference to our personal and planetary health. It’s up to us to determine how we will contribute to improving our society and planet for future generations. This show will give you the tools to act, starting with your next meal!
