Activist: "Cattle farming is incredibly wasteful."
Farmer: "Is it? List the inputs."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "For my farm. What goes in?"
Activist: "Feed, water, land..."
Farmer: "Rain, grass that grows for free, and land that won't grow anything else. Where's the waste?"
Activist: "But the resources..."
Farmer: "Are solar energy and rainfall. Both happen whether there's a cow here or not."
Activist: "You're oversimplifying."
Farmer: "I'm being accurate. Sunlight hits grass. Grass grows. Cow eats grass. Cow becomes beef. Which step wastes resources?"
Activist: "The land could grow crops."
Farmer: "This land? 30-degree slope, clay soil, 45 inches of rain? Show me the crop."

The EU is set to spend €800 billion on war as public services crumble.

That money should be invested in tackling housing, healthcare, and the cost of living

As the EU lurches closer to militarisation, Ireland must stand firm in defending our neutrality. Peace & diplomacy first

@Tim_Denning Awesome, thank you. Is number 6 missing?

@DrEenfeldt pasteurised milk vs raw milk is the real discussion we should be having here

@DrEenfeldt @JoinHava Edamame beans are very high in oxalates and lectins. Edamame contains antinutrients. Unfortunately, they reduce the body's ability to absorb essential nutrients. Also, it includes intensifiers. As a result, they can inhibit iodine assimilation and affect thyroid function.

Do NOT get nutritional advice
from the government.

They tell you to EAT:
- Seed oils, Grains & Plant
burgers

They tell you to AVOID:
- Meat, Eggs, Butter & Salt

Do the opposite.

@5MinuteBody Yep. I'm reading this one for the moment👍🏼

@DrEenfeldt There are so many other factors to consider: the pollution of oceans, the grains they fed the chicken, the origin of the meat... not even considering how our bodies and needs differ from one person to another. How can this all be reduced to an algorithm?

[Max Lugavere @maxlugavere]

Imagine thinking you can change the weather by eating fake meat, fake eggs, and fake milk.

We saw this coming. right? Fake climate charges applied to dairy + meat products in 2,150-branch Penny supermarket chain in Germany.
Eg, price of mozzarella is up by 74%
Depriving people of nutrient-dense foods that are the backbone of good health is a Faustian bargain. We can save the climate without destroying human health.

@DrEenfeldt @JoinHava whatever it is, have it be raw, not pasteurized

[Nik List @Nik_List]

@5MinuteBody cheese from pasteurized milk or raw milk can't be put in the same category. One feeds your microbiome (which also helps you lose weight), the other doesnt
