Is it an urban myth that they promote this as evidence-based research in the University of California and in Australia?

The change of lifestyle is also very important. Agriculture is not just about livestock. It is also about horticulture and the production of good quality vegetables and fruit that can be our main diet if we change our lifestyles. The next generation coming up is much more open to less meat and more vegetarianism, along with a significant increase in veganism. This will have an impact, but currently nobody knows how much. Perhaps studies need to go on with that.
