Food Choices and the Planet ​

The toll exacted on human health by a diet laden with saturated fat and cholesterol is devastating, and thoroughly documented. What is this same diet doing to our planet?

• It takes 2,500 gallons of water, 12 pounds of grain, 35 pounds of topsoil and the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline to produce one pound of feedlot beef.
• Because of over-consumption of fish, all 17 of the world’s major fishing areas have reached or exceeded their natural limits. One-third of the world’s fish catch is fed directly to livestock.
• 70% of US grain production is fed to livestock.
• 5 million acres of rainforest are felled every year in South and Central America alone to create cattle pasture.
• Roughly 20% of all currently threatened and endangered species in the US are harmed by livestock grazing.
• Animal agriculture is a chief contributor to water pollution. America’s farm animals produce 10 times the waste produced by the human population.

And yes, people should cut down consumption if not quit eating animals........


I'm not a vegan as I do eat cheese, milk, eggs etc., but I refrain from meat/fish .....

Thanks....I couldn't seem to make it a clickable link.....

I've cut down on red meat quite a bit, and I seem to be healthier, but I'm a long way from being a vegetarian......

Vegetarians are stupid. Vegans are ridiculously stupid

Vegetarians More Likely to Suffer From a Mental Disorder, Study Finds - Healthy Eating Harbor

How Vegetarianism is Bad for You and the Environment

I could go on all day. There is absolutely no sound science in favour of removing meat from our diet. We are omnivores. End of discussion (unless you're stupid)

Don't ask!

You're so butthutt all the time. Maybe you should just stop talking nonsense and I would quit making fun of you.

I'm trying to eat less red meat as well. I try to eat it more in soup and stews versus BBQ or fried. Someday, I hope I can have a garden and try growing vegetables.

 

[taxslave]

No chance of me going vegan. Although I am not averse to eating one. Just can't imagine a day without real food. But I also eat salad every day.

Vegetarians are what we call poor hunters

 

[Curious Cdn]

Vegetarians are what we call food.

 

[taxslave]

That too. Anyone that works hard will not survive long on twigs and berries.

All the vitamins and nutrients listed are readily available in a vegetarian diet if you are educated and balanced in how you eat... the good fats our brains need to function and thrive exist in flax and evening primrose... and the fats in cooked red meat are not, but also lead to fatty organs and blockages.

Next time... look for a reputable source for your argument... ie) Not a paleo site :|

 

[Cannuck]

Trying to eat less meat or trying to eat healthier and becoming a vegetarian are two different things. Vegetarians try to confuse the two because that is what is required to sell their religion

I have no religious beliefs linked to my eating a vegetarian diet... I am one for health reasons only... but your argument is that I must be stupid for being one... which says more about your false belief system than mine.

Some truth in that. Big difference between eating organic beef and filling your stomach with a rotten ronnie burger.

The egg is a symbol of life, the egg is alive, just because it dosn't have eyes and cute little fins in no way excuses your disregard for eatable biomatter.

Of course you do. Stop lying

 

[darkbeaver]

We know they have feelings they could hardly get about without them. I think I'am going to eat my cats.

 

[Mokkajava]

You know nothing about me or my choices... you are making assumptions... that basically make you into an *** as the saying goes

 

[Cannuck]

You know nothing about me or my choices..

I don't have to. There is zero scientific evidence supporting the removal of meat from a human's diet. Ergo, your decision is based on your own personal beliefs and nothing more.
