You Should Know

question, how come beef is so cheap it's it takes so much resources?

if it's just subsidies, then we should get rid of them

Are bilionairs white meat?

The most important takeaway for the target group:

“If you’re trying to reduce your carbon footprint, eat less beef,” Rose advises. “You don’t have to give it up entirely, but cutting back or making substitutions can make a significant impact.”

Any fewer beef meals you have helps. We're also just talking beef here. If you choose pork, chicken, fish, or even game meat over beef you're helping the climate.

I've been the bane of chickens all my life...

We need significant subsidies invested into vat grown meat. But now Big Ag is getting it banned in every state it can. Texas and Florida have already banned it.

Accounting for emissions per kilogram isn't that fair, can we account for emissions per 1000 kilocalorie? Or emissions per protein?

Taking planes, another big CO2 contributor. The sky is full of planes burning fuel.

Being alive is bad for the environment.

Not having kids is a whole order of magnitude more impactful. Or even just having one kid instead of 2 or 3+.

We could really use a movement to get more people to try adding beans, peas, and tofu to their grocery list. I wasn't able to stick to not eating meat, but sticking to eating less meat by adding alternatives to my grocery list turned out to be quite easy.

I've got a special trick where I can make pretty much the entire internet rage at me. Check it out:

I'm vegetarian.

Yes, that is great on an individual level.

But the best thing to do overall for our environment and climate is supporting protest movements, especially those employing nonviolent civil disobedience. Per pound/dollar/euro, they reduce emissions the most. But if you can, attend events in person.

This should not neglect that we need both individual and system change and they depend on each other. You should reduce your meat consumption and advocate for a world where everyone reduces meat consumption (and even become vegan or at least vegetarian).

For a brief moment reading this, I couldn't remember the last time I ate beef -- but then I remembered the summer sausage in the fridge... which probably has beef in it, so... yesterday. Other than that purchase, I don't know if I've had any other beef this year.

The study found that 12% of Americans consume nearly half of the country's beef

So if we got that particular 1/8th to cut down, we'd be half way there! Just like if we could get the 1% to cut down on [so many things], we'd be in the clear!

I thought it was overthrowing oppressive world governments and holding environmentally-damaging businesses accountable for their actions, hm.

When populations are starving to death in 2044, pat yourself on the back for not eating red meat.

This can easily be solved with a bottle of food colouring. I've compleltly replaced my red meat with blue meat. Problem solved.
