Apocalypse Cow -How meat killed the planet

Channel 4

How meat farming is destroying the planet .

As we grow richer we eat far more meat ( two million chicken a year in the U.K. ) cows and chickens use a lot of land and create vast amounts of effluence which the land cannot take it all seeps into the rivers and pollutes them .

In the future we won’t need animals for meat at all.
