Recently, @JEverettLearned interviewed me to produce a 20 min YouTube video on meat and dairy and the environment. I really like the outcome. Check it out! | YouTube https://t.co/I7fXcIBIYX
#CALSproud of #IowaState Meats Lab for being named the 2021 recipient of @MikeNaigIA’s Iowa Ag Leader Award for Leadership in Collaboration. The award recognizes the lab's role in processing meat for #BeefUpIowa and #PassThePork programs: https://t.co/R6ljjfkor0

I know we always complain about working cows with our dads, but honestly just step back and thank God for a sec that we get to do something we mutually love with the men who raised us
not everyone gets that blessing
During Covid-19, sales of real meat increased much more than those of plant-based substitutes. Real meat’s increase of $5 billion dwarfs the increase in the niche market that is meat substitutes. More about this and other stories in the July issue of NNB: https://t.co/CChz1F5WzA
I’m going to follow in @SkyViewBeef’s footsteps and post a #DailySilverLining.
Since I’m now working from home, I’ve been able to “temporarily move back in” with my parents on the family farm to lend a helping hand. I just might never want to leave! #HappyPlace
Have you heard about the “Biogenic Carbon Cycle” and how ruminants play into it? It describes how biogenic methane differs greatly from other long lived GHGs from sources such as fossil fuels. Read this explainer by @samjwerth@UCDavisCLEAR https://t.co/ljV9ZvZnb8
Thread: Why are most carbon footprint estimates for livestock products so massive? In short: because they are based on a faulty methane calculation. EAT Lancet, Starbucks, Impossible Burger etc are drastically overestimating GHG from livestock and here is why. /1
Cattle have long been the bedrock of John Mortimer's life. In a serendipitous twist of fate. It's also because of cows that he is alive. Learn more about John's story here: https://t.co/E3ubbkrc0h
If you’re not ready to question your biases on GMOs and pesticides, at least recognize how privileged you are to be able to take advantage of the safest, most abundant food supply in history while simultaneously denying the science and farming practices that make it possible.
Tongue-in-cheek, but a different way to think about what ruminants do. They are incredibly cool creatures that have a mutually beneficial relationship with the microbes in their stomachs that allows them to access energy from the sun that we can’t 🐄🐂🐏🐑🐐🦌🐃
You find the nomenclature around alternative proteins confusing? Plant based burgers, fake meat, faux meat, vegan burgers... even cartoonists are now addressing the topic.
Those still comparing cows vs cars despite everything we know about the ‘cow biogenic carbon cycle’ vs the ‘one direction carbon highway’ for fossil fuels, are misleading the public in dangerous ways. Constant herds to not add additional carbon/warming. Cars do. @SustainableDish
