Erika Nardini argues that plant-based fake foods harm the environment and health. She claims soil loss from their production could leave the world without usable soil in 60 years, and that long-term vegan diets cause severe malnutrition linked to Alzheimer's and chronic disease.
We have to look at habitat destruction and we have to look at the incredible environmental waste of plant based fake foods and the medical effects of going vegan and spending the last 20 years of your life being in a hospital with Alzheimer's disease and all the other diseases that come when you're malnourished for most of your life. So the environmental aspects of it simply don't work out. Because to feed the planet with low quality foods like that, it creates a very self destructive cycle and it also destroys soil at a rate that's alarming because we run out of soil in about 60 years.
