The
military-industrial-meat-medical-media complex has and offers no incentive to
reduce animal food consumption. Poisoning the earth with massive doses of toxic
chemicals and petroleum-based fertilizers is highly profitable for the
petroleum and chemical industries. These toxins cause cancer, which is highly
profitable to the chemical-pharmaceutical-medical complex. While the world’s
rich omnivores waste precious supplies of grain, petroleum, water, and land
feeding fattened animals, the world’s poor have little grain to eat or clean
water to drink, and their chronic hunger, thirst, and misery create conditions
for war, terrorism, and drug addiction, which are extremely profitable
industries as well. The richest fifth of the world’s population gets obesity,
heart disease, and diabetes, also highly profitable for industry.
