As we know, climate change is a pressing issue that affects us all. I've been reading a lot about how shifting towards a plant-based diet can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Do you think it's time for the Philippines to seriously consider promoting plant-based lifestyles? Would it be effective in addressing our environmental issues, or do you believe traditional diets are too ingrained in our culture? Curious to hear everyone's thoughts!

It's difficult kasi mas na prioritize ng mga pilipino ang mga pagkain na nakakabusog kesa sa mga pagkain na nakakaapekto sa paligid. Napapansin ko na masyadong pang 1st world country na ideology ang pagkain ng plant based at di tinitignang pansin ang mga bagay na ganyan sa mga mahihirap na bansa.

Tama ka, masyadong nakatutok ang mga tao sa practicality ng pagkain. Pero sana, mas makilala pa yung benefits ng plant-based diets, hindi lang para sa kalikasan kundi pati na rin sa health. Parang ang hirap dalhin ng idea sa mga tao kapag mas marami silang ibang priorities.

I don’t think so. Meat is nutritionally very dense. Also lab grown meat with a lower carbon footprint has just been approved in the US. The Asian diet is very low on protein compared to the rest of the world. I don’t think a plant based diet should ever be applied to children.

North and South Koreans are essentially the same population genetically, yet decades of differences in nutrition and living conditions have produced a height gap of roughly 3–6 cm on average, particularly among younger adults.
