He also discusses meat's environmental toll, including biodiversity loss, deforestation, and pollution caused by extensive use of antibiotics and glyphosate. Dr. Marz emphasizes the severe decline in fish populations due to overfishing and pollutants like microplastics, advocating for a shift towards a more plant-based diet akin to those practiced in Blue Zones for better health and environmental conservation.
