I am of course impressed by the model and the robot. Great stuff,

But the downside is that won't we all just turn into the obese, stupid humans at the start of the WALL-E film?

Mindfulness teaches us that we can enjoy the washing up, the laundry, planting seeds, tending the garden. It connects us to something. Without this will we end up with a rise in mental health issues, because for one thing people will just end up on social media in the time they save.

Just a thought.

Now would be a great time to change the national anthem to something without God or royalty in it.

There is no place in modern society for a family who got all their wealth from wars and stealing it. Only to parade it around infront of millions of people in poverty.

Lets get rid of them. Start by turning the palaces into social housing.

Thanks for submitting this it was interesting to see. Is this an old project because the video example uses React Classes rather than functional components and hooks.

Absolute nonsense. There are over 80 million fit and healthy vegans worldwide.

Processed food weather it is vegan or carnist is always more expensive but fruit, vegetables, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, grains etc are all actually very very cheap compared to meat and diary in a western diet.

it’s like creating an alternative to a bar with no alcohol

In many muslim countries in the world there are plenty of places like this because alcohol just isn't a thing.

The climate change issue is not isolated. It is intrinsically linked with ecocide, species extinction and the poisoning of all natural environments. The slide into an apocalyptic state will be caused by all of these together. So viewing it in a silo is dangerous and incorrect. IMO.

All the athletes mentioned saw their performance go down after adopting a plant based diet.

I'm sorry I must have watched a different film. The complete opposite of what you claim is portrayed in the film. Also my personal experience of regularly running and recovering from Ultramarathons suggests that you are wrong. My times and recovery rates are much much better on plant based diets.

Also the Amazon is being cleared for Beef and agribusiness to food humans. We don't need to do this and we don't need to eat meat. Please read some decent news and science and try and think things through.

philosophical hangups

This is a strong statement, when there is more than enough evidence to support that everything is available in a plant based diet.

Modern scientific thinking will tell you that eating a plant based diet is

1. The best way to fight climate change and ecological destruction and species extinction.

2. The health benefits to athletes of a meat free diet are now known and logged.

The only slightly philisophical hangup would be against animal cruelty and global agribusiness.

The rest is science and in the public domain.

I know many many, very healthy plant based people and athletes. I regularly run ultramarathons and I cycle 30 miles a day to work (2000 ft of climbing) and I'm plant based.

Would you say I'm doing it right? I don't do anything especially difficult with my diet.

I would suggest that film. Might open your eyes.

Yes. This is the single best thing any human can do. It would have an overnight impact on climate change if the world stopped consuming meat from Agribusiness.

Forests would not be cut down for beef, therefore sustaining trees that remove C02. Species extrinction would slow down because of sustaining habitats.
