Even if I believed in man-made global warming, there’s no way it would prompt me to lower my meat consumption.
I’ll be sure to eat a lot of eggs and then let one rip for old Lord Stern of Brentford.
Well, since methane is so powerful, we need to kill of every single animal on the planet and then kill ourselves. We all fart and produce methane, so according to these snobby assholes, our very existence is against nature as we destroy the ozone and cause global warming just by simply existing.
OK, do I understand this excerpt correctly, or is my brain just not functioning at the moment?
“On average, a British person eats 50g of protein derived from meat each day â?? the equivalent of a chicken breast or a lamb chop. This is a relatively low level for a wealthy country but between 25 per cent and 50 per cent higher than the amount recommended by the World Health Organisation.”
As in, the WHO recommends that people consume around 25g of protein a day??
I had a biology professor last year who felt this way. The best part, I would be willing bet they all drive a gas engine to their various tree hugger conventions. Hypocritical idiots!
I doubt there’s an adult on this planet that can subsist on 25g protein/day.
No.
and what happens when we have to create dozens of factories to make supplements for people who become deficient in their diets in one way or another? also a lot of people would be put out of a business if meat became taboo. there are so many things wrong with that article…
…
No!
The book “The Vegetarian Myth” blows this whole meat-is-bad-for-the-planet thing to Hell. In fact, it’s vegetarianism and intensive agriculture of monocrops that’s destroying our soil. Grass-fed meat is GOOD for the planet.
Ridiculous solution to a nonexistent problem. I’m sure the UN will embrace it.
This Lord Stern guy is his own worst enemy.
He recommends we all become vegetarians to conserve the environment…

…Only to blame the environmental damage on a vegetarian diet. Telling us to turn vegetarian is just reckless. Imagine what would happen if we were all vegetarians and each of us decided to eat a can of kidney beans at the same time - the fallout would be catastrophic.

Now I’m going to make a point of having my next meal be chicken breasts and eggs. Get those fuckers at both ends of the life cycle.

Figures. Six billion people spouting CO2 and methane gas (not to mention cutting down forests, paving roads, driving cars, etc), and these fuckers blame the animals.
I love how he says that one of the problems is cutting down forests to grow soybeans for feeding the livestock. Cuz, you know, we’re perfectly suited to subsisting off of the dead leaves we harvest every fall.
^^ he’s right
hum, my lecturer in biodiversity at the mo is very doom and gloom, and belives the simple fact of massive poulation explosion to be the root cause of all the problems on this planet. and that there is nothing we can do about it, just have fun.
