Its not only their life. The increasing meat production to satisfy the meat demand makes terrible damages to the planet and we all have to live in it. I know the problem is not only meat/animals/cows but its one of the biggest contributors to the climate changes issue.

I don’t want to bash anyones lifestyle but it gets to me when people start blaming eating meat to our climate problems. Think about what else goes on on in this planet with transportation and the electricity industry’s. Also what does it take to make 1 gallon of nut juice aka nut milk, I’m just looking at the bigger picture and hate that meat gets a bad rap when clearly there’s other industries producing far more greenhouse gases. Like I said not trying to knock someone’s lifestyle and nutrition choices. This article can shed some light on the issue and I wish the news/social media would too.

When I see information like what you provided I always look at the source of the report, study, information, etc…and look for a hidden agenda (by the source…not necessarily you).
It didn’t take a giant leap to figure this one out.
All the best,

This is a bit misleading. Yes greenhouse gas emissions from meat production in the US is quite small. But globally the number is a significantly higher percentage (15% - UN FAO). This is largely due to much more efficient meat production in western countries vs less developed nations. Improvement in those practices would have significant reductions in GHG emissions, as would sharply reducing global meat consumption. Meat consumption (and associated GHG emissions) is also expected to rise as people in developing nations continue to increase wages and standard of living.
However, and a big however: I personally don’t like the argument that it behooves us to avoid meat as way to reduce GHG emissions. I think it’s an attempt to force personal responsibility as a solution to the climate crisis, when in reality no amount of personal changes, even if undertaken by a large percent of the global population, will solve this crisis. We can eat vegan, drive electric cars, and recycle, but that won’t change that 70% of GHG emissions come from 100 corporations. True solutions to the climate crisis need to be top down, policy driven, with major global buy in from the big actors, both nations and private.

It’s a straight up deflection campaign and part of the big industry playbook. There is a long history of this making the individual feel personally responsible when they are locked into a system that is the actual issue at scale. In this case large scale industrial systems being behind the big aspects of climate change, chemical pollution, etc….
Big Tobacco playbook to be specific is where they all learned the dirty trick of making the consumer feel responsible.
Oh the irony here in the U.S. with Corporate Personhood.

Yep, for example the personal carbon footprint was popularized, I wonder what their motives were?

I still think game changer is poor science.
But for complicated health reasons I have cut out dairy (except for Greek yogurt) and only eat free range chicken, eggs and some fish (try to source responsibly sourced).
I do my best to eat foods with the least amount of processing.
Having had eating disorders in the past I have my concerns about becoming obsessed with eating clean, but I don’t think I’m in the same mental space now.
I have noticed that the healthier I eat, the more I notice the effect when I eat something like a Chinese takeaway/ processed vegan burger.
I’m starting to get notion that the processed food diet that is so readily available is the eating disorder/ addiction. This seems to run along side what is bad/ good for the environment. If you want to cut out processed food, check all labels for palm oil/fat. There will be alot less in your basket.
I’ve noticed that my immune system seems to be improving, which means I’m starting to access higher intensity training more consistently.
