2019.11.29 Fire Drill Fridays with Jane Fonda, Washington, DC USA 333 115082

Amazing and inspiring to see icon @JaneFonda take a stand in Washington, DC today for one of the most important issues of our time @firedrillfriday. #ClimateChange is a most urgent threat to human and planetary health.

 

This week's theme was food justice. They tweeted this @cbsnews story (link in bio) about farmers and climate change:

 

"more farmers need to embrace practices like extended crop rotation, conservation tillage... (and) other agricultural methods including putting livestock back on the land, practicing more rotational grazing, and generating green energy on farms."

 

Agree with this message, however, concerned when I saw an 11-year old child talking about being on a vegan diet. This can be problematic from a growth / brain development perspective, and these diets are not recommended by many physicians and several european countries for children, adolescents, or pregnant women, due to these known risks.

 

A move away from fossil fuels and toward regenerative agriculture are important messages for #HealthyPeopleHealthyPlanet - we can't have one without the other - thanks for enhancing the public's understanding of this issue.
