ACT RADIO: Restore-Our-Planet Diet

  Dr. Patricia Tallman has worked professionally in the Environmental Engineering industry, and her experiences eventually led her to adopt a vegan diet for environmental and ethical reasons.  She joins us to talk about her new book, The Restore-Our-Planet Diet, to better inform readers about the environmental impact of what we consume.  The numbers are staggering.  If the entire planet adopted a Western diet, we would need 4 planet Earths to produce the needed resources to feed humans on just 1 Earth.  And, if we look on a smaller scale, it takes over 1700 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of ground beef.  Join us for this enlightening conversation.
