Also a few researchers found that bad eating habits often result in criminal behavior.
Could you please name your source?

Hunger
As far as I know there have been several studies that showed that if we drop meat as a global food this pretty much get solved. I don't know the exact numbers but large numbers of plant food is needed to get the meat we eat. Also the fear of vegetariens has to stop, it is not a dangerious lifestyle at all. Problematic in this department is once again lack of knowledge and willingness to change there eating habits.
Whether someone in the western world eats meat has nothing to do with whether someone in Africa has something to eat.

We have tried shipping wheat for free to Africa (to raise the price on our own markets), but it has only destroyed their economy.

People in Africa have to get into a position where they can feed themselves.

Individual livestyle changes don't matter in the large scope of things.
Whether you are a vegetariar or aren't doesn't change anything.

Before you can change something you have to understand the reason why the thing exists in the first place.

To change something you have to find a leverage point. To do that we have to change systems.
You have to give people systems they can use.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
