Dr. Oppenlander addresses the fact that our current choice of foods is the single leading contributing factor for the comprehensive effect of Global Depletion—climate change, land use inefficiencies/desertification and freshwater scarcity, irreversible damage to our oceans, loss of biodiversity and rapid mass extinctions of species, world hunger and food insecurity, and loss of our own health. Importantly, Dr. Oppenlander frankly discusses the imminent and narrowing time lines, or tipping points, that we face in terms of resolution and that time may, indeed, be running out for our own survival as a species. He challenges audiences with new insights regarding how this has occurred and what factors impede us from realizing positive change.
