In the short run, bellies are full. In the long run, ecosystems are disrupted and destroyed. This would spell disaster for your health and life as we know it. Already shockwaves can be felt in the ecosystem. Bees are dying, crops are more easily disrupted and destroyed by disease and extremes of weather. Disease and degenerative disorders are at epidemic proportions in America and it’s just getting worse.
