That’s rich: the oil industry cautioning regarding meat consumption, claiming it is a major driver of climate change. Fact: 80% of GHG are fossil fuel related and 4% to livestock. “Is Eating Meat Worse Than Burning Oil? “| https://t.co/U63F5l06TF https://t.co/15YsMLKuSo
“What do you think about plant based diet? “ I don’t. Plus we should really call it chemical goo based diet. Never met a “vegan” not eating fake burgers, hot dogs and pop tarts . Motherfuckers acting like they eat a bowl of raw broccoli and kale they personally grew. #sowoke
So you wanna save the planet? Oh yes, not only CAN you eat red meat, you SHOULD. Ruminants sequester carbon and monocropping doesn’t.
“The authors found that, properly managed, ruminant grazing can sequester more GHGs than it emits.”

The poisonous soy sludge that your favorite mainstream media junk food advertisers want you to eat instead of meat is not immaculately conceived.
It requires large scale murder of animals and destruction of their habitats to produce.

New @GHGGuru/@CompetitiveAg Blog: "No, Four Pounds of Beef Doesn’t Equal the Emissions of a Transatlantic Flight". This article clears up a recent @NewYorker article assertion around fake meat and livestock carbon emission. @tadfriend@ucdavisCAES@ucanr https://t.co/Y1bWi6LBAo
Today, at the @McDonalds Hamburger University, I saw the supply chain for their fresh meat quarter pounder all the way to the burger assembly. Indeed, there is nothing in their patty than 100% beef. Compare that to the ingredients of the ultra-processed factory “Beyond” patty.
Hey @TheEllenShow, if the entire US were to go vegan, it would reduce our carbon footprint by only 2.6% (https://t.co/dvzfh4QQKh). Also, if you want to see less obesity in our young, you could suggest less screen time, which is correlated. https://t.co/hJi4VjXuoE
Is meatless meat really better for your health and the planet? https://t.co/fGumISY9WH "This has nothing to do with trying to solve the problems of our food system. This is just about trying to create new niches and new hype to sell to consumers," cc. @GHGguru@SBakerMD@robbwolf
Big time UNDER-nutrition going on in the world today, not in terms of calories but rather an inadequate intake of key foods like meat/dairy/eggs in many societies. If anything, intake of these foods needs to go UP in many regions. A reality not appreciated by Western guidelines.
The @guardian reports that (mostly agricultural caused) deforestation accounts for one third of human related greenhouse gas emissions.
In truth, while these land use change matter, they pale vs fossil fuel activities as the following figure & blog show. https://t.co/kORMaKoZMl https://t.co/8DQRJb5hrD
