THE VEGAN LIES YOU'VE BEEN SOLD! Environmental Disaster in the Making?

What happens here

The speaker asserts that the idea of humans being herbivores, like cows or elephants, is incorrect, and that human bodies have evolved to be omnivores. He argues that industrially produced vegan foods, particularly those that are certified organic, still indirectly rely on animal waste for fertilization (e.g., bone meal, blood meal, fish emulsion used in organic agriculture). He criticizes the lack of biodiversity in monoculture farming prevalent in large-scale vegan food production, contrasting it with a healthy, diverse ecosystem.

Goal: Refute the biological basis for human herbivory and critique the environmental impact of large-scale vegan farming.
