Food for human without humanity




Live stock (Domestic animal)responsible for 18 percent of green house gas emission ie methane  which is higher than total world transport sector  green house gas emission ie co2.
Eight  Percent of human water consumption goes to produce meat as  food includes growing feed for animals .
World meat production nearly 30 crore tons,out of that pig meat accounts to 10  crore,beef meat accounts to 6 crore,poultry (Chicken)  accounts to 10 crore.Average production of meat per peson is 40 KG per year.
Worldwide 60 billion animals are raised and killed for food every year.The ever increasing need of meat for human population pushing the poultry owners follow unsustainable way of producing meat which starts from
1.Deforestation to grow food for rearing animals.
2.Degradation of land since they use fertilizers to grow feed in excessive quantity.
3.The large amount of waste generated in farms(Excreta ,urine,anti biotic to prevent animal from infection) exceeds the capacity of nearby cropland to utilize and turn valuable waste to toxic waste .Nitrate ,Heavy metals,antibiotic pollute local water bodies.
4.Arsenic has been using in poultry as antibiotic and to give pink color to flesh.Arsenic lethal toxic chemical which cause abnormality in heart rhythm.

The abuse of rearing animals by the workers and farming authority cannot be mentioned in the words.
There are no place to stand ,extreme bad conditions ,inhuman ways of slaughtering(killing).

Way back in 1950  there was free range farming ,where the animals will be kept free ,they are free to graze in natural environment ,allowed to move on sunlight .So there is a great need of free range poultry farming where animals will be reared with humanity and can significantly control  human and  
environment health effects.

Bio-Fuel and Fossil Fuel

India's last year budget is 11 lakh crores out of that 4 lakh crore has spent on only oil to import from foreign nations.In India daily  consumption of diesel and petrol is 17 crore litres and 6 crore litres respectively.  Nearly Diesel consumption accounts to 75% of total fuel consumption (Petrol,diesel,gas).
India is  5th largest contributor of global CO2 emission.450 MMT out of  1100MMT of co2 emission is from burning fossil fuel.

1.Rudolf Diesel proposed his engine which works on bio fuel.He believed that his engine will phenomenally help agricultural nations since bio fuel produced from plants like pongamia.
2.Rudolf died at the age of 55 mysteriously and many people claim that he was killed by German government to hide diesel technology from UK.
3.Petroleum industry misled the diesel technology by replacing bio fuel with another byproduct of petroleum oil and naming it as diesel fuel.
4. Bio diesel has fewer harmful emission compare to petroleum oils like petrol and diesel.
5. Bio diesel is less toxic even less than table salt .
6.It degrades as fast as sugar.
7.Durability of engine increases.
8.Currently bio diesel cost equal to that that petroleum diesel since technology in nascent stage .
9.4 KG of Pongamia(Honge) seeds produce 1 KG of oil .1 KG of oil produces 0.750 litre of diesel.

Many people shows  concern about food security if bio fuel promoted.But  lakhs of land till today have  not been irrigated and considered as waste land.Plants which are used to produce biofuel can grow in waste and hot climate.

Interesting facts on Tree






1.Research shows that visual exposure to tree has significant effect in alleviating stress within 5 minutes as indicated by blood pressure and muscle tention."Dr Roger S Ulrich Texas University.
2.Net cooling effects of young ,healthy tree is equivalent to ten room size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day."US Dept of Agriculture"
3.If a tree weighs 1000kg ,60% consist of carbon which is captured from atmosphere as CO2,30% water,1-2% mineral.
4.Ash which lefts out after burning of  tree is minerals like calcium and iron.
5.1kg of carbon equivalent to 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide(co2).
6.When tree dies all the carbon releases to  atmosphere in the form of  carbon dioxide by combining with oxygen.
7.If carbon dioxide content more in atmosphere, rate of growth of plant is more.

Human Health hazards from pesticide used vegetables and fruits




Story Of DDT:
Paul Muller ,the inventor of DDT given Nobel Prize for Discovering DDT which was believed to be life saver for Human kind from pests.It had used extensively in a way even dog milk had identified with traces of DDT.Complete story of the DDT was revealed in the book "SILENT SPRING"indicating there is no song or chirping of bird in spring since every bird wiped away due to extensive use of DDT.
DDT has been phased out from 120 countries to use as domestic or industrial purpose but Nobel prize have not been taken back.
Today same story line goes with pesticides which is engulfed whole cultivation land of world.

Facts About Pesticide used vegetables, fruits and any other food product:
1.Pesticide causes cancer,birth defects,aggravates asthma and many more .
2.Children are more vulnerable to pesticide residues in vegetables because of less developed  immunity  system.
3.Pesticide used food products can seriously harm pregnant women and fetus.
4.Most of the pesticides are byproduct of  petroleum causing acute  damage to ecosystem.
5.Pesticides will pollute the precious water body like rivers,wells,tanks.
6.Fertility  of the land destroy over the year.

Why would pesticide has not been banned to use in agriculture if they are not safe ?
Like alcohol and tobacco ,pesticides are legal toxic product.It has not been banned for the same reason alcohol or tobacco not banned.


Immersion cleaning can only remove some pesticide residues, and the water-soluble pesticides that has permeated into the internal structure of the plant cannot be removed; therefore, the best way to prevent chemical pesticides from appearing on dining tables is to choose and buy organic fruits and vegetables.

Avoid pesticides
