Book ReviewComfortably Unaware - Global depletion and food responsibility. What you choose to eat is killing our planetDr. Richard A. Oppenlander Review by Cathe Olson ![]() Most vegans are aware of how their food choices affect the lives of farm animals. They also appreciate the benefits of a plant-based diet on their own health. According to Dr. Richard A. Oppenlander, however, our food choices have global consequences as well. In his book, Comfortably Unaware, he explains how the factory farming of animals for food is wiping out our rain forests, polluting our oceans, depleting our water supply, and contributing to global warming. He makes no effort to sugarcoat his message?he basically says that if you are eating meat, poultry, fish, dairy, or eggs, you are contributing to this destruction of our planet. While this may offend some, others will appreciate his direct and blunt approach and the message that change is needed if our planet is to survive. Many references are given to support his claims.
