We are a non-profit organization aspiring to inform people of just your vision. As a previous commenter said, policy needs to change. A side project of our alliance is initially called 'Sustainable Policy Institute'. At the moment there are some draft ideas here: http://gov.vegclimatealliance.org The main objective is to help policy makers inform citizens about the health dangers of eating meat and the benefits of vegetarianism. Would you or anyone you know be interested in collaborating with climate scientists and politicians to make this a multidisciplinary success? Hi there.

I agree with your statements, I'dd like to emphasise some important vie-points, reagarding the influence of climate change on "reduced risk of diabetes, obesity, colon cancer, CHD, better mental health. You must know, as BMJ Editors and Reviewers know very well, that Quantum-Biophysical -Semeiotic Constitutions (e.g., diabetic, dislipidemic, ATS, Oncological Terrain, with relative Inherited Real Risks) really exist. The can be bedside recognized with the aid of a stethoscope. For instance, individuals not involved by Oncological Terrain (or positive for OT, but without colon cancer INHERITED real risk) will never suffer from colon cancer, in spite of environmental well-known risk factors. In fact, these risk factor may act upon the relative INHERITED Real Risk! Perfectly said!
