Dr. Robert Verkerk, an ecologist and an advocate of sustainable health care shares research based knowledge on how humans are dependent on other species for health. He talks about the pros and cons of veganism, dairy, meat and vegetarianism. Dr. Verkerk says that it may be more important to eat soil grown vegetables than non-pesticide grown vegetables, although veganism is sustainable for the planet it can result in health imbalances if one is unaware of their food choices.

 

He proposes that insects may be the most important source of protein for humans for sustainability of the planet. Dr. Verkerk talks about the importance of microbiome populating the roots of a plant in imparting health benefits.
