There is an ever growing tendency to ignore the gains made in human health and wellbeing by the last one hundred and fifty years of technological and industrial development.
There is an ever growing tendency to ignore the facts that (a) the last the last one hundred and fifty years of technological and industrial development are the result of abundant fossil fuels. The scienctific and medical base we take for granted, and which, in addition to clean water and sanitation, are the reason why we live longer, are mainly a result of cheap and abundant energy, e.g. mostly oil. This age is coming to an end and agriculture will change with it. Agriculture is 95% fossil-fuel dependent - for fertilizers, pesticides, machinery and transport - if we want to eat, over the next few decades, we need to reduce that dependency.
What you eat should be a matter of choice, sadly for all too many people that is not the case, because there isn't enough food available. Eating less meat will not help them, eating your veg will not help them, buying their produce might.
Not maintaining spurious debt which transfers vast amounts of wealth from poor to rich countries might help them even more. Then they could feed themselves instead of us - which we'll all have to do once the cost of global transport become prohibitive. Oops, we only produce about 40% of our food - what shall we do?
Oh, and we need to reduce populations everywhere and quickly. The carrying capacity of the earth before oil was around a quarter of what it is now - also soils were less depleted and less land had been built over with things you can't grow food on, like car parks and runways.
