We need to stop eating beef. The fact that no one thinks that if they stop eating beef they won’t have any effect is disturbing as fuck. If everyone stops eating beef then the industry will collapse.
The fact that I don’t see this graph more often is annoying, I hate having to keep bringing this up, someone else share this for fucks sake please.
Seriously. Animal agriculture needs to end and not exist whether we live in a capitalist dystopia or communist utopia, for the environment and for the sake of all sentient beings
The fact that you and I got downvotes just speaks massive volumes. We might not make it as a species because we have so many individuals who think it doesn’t matter either way. WE ALL PLAY A FUCKING ROLE, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE TIME.
Also concerning how many tons of beef products I’ve tossed due to mold in food production. Large-scale manufacturing has so many holes we could fill if only it was profitable for the companies to do so.
Usually my neighbor slaughters one or two oxen per year. In summer they’re on land that I own, in winter they’re fed grass he’s mowing on some other meadows of his own. When all is said and done, he gets about 30€ per kg for the meat to cover the costs.
This reduces meat to a mixture luxury for the weekend and this is with basically with the least amount of costs possible. The only things that are paid in this chain of production is the tractor for mowing grass, the vet, the butcher and insurance and taxes for the land and the stable in winter. I can’t (well, I can) imagine how the meat industry manages to hit a third of the price or less.
I agree meat is a luxury. If we look historically, farm meat was common at the table of the wealthy, but sparring at the table of the common man. It’s often made me wonder about the sustainabity of hunted meats if we were to treat meat as a luxury item reserved for celebrations. It seems like there’s quite the potential for carbon offset according to this article: Wild meat consumption in tropical forests spares a significant carbon footprint from the livestock production sector. The article also seems to suggest in this context a necesity of more and larger reforesting/rewilding efforts. I skimmed through this, so if there’s contradiction I missed please comment.
We coukd start by not replacing meat eating pet’s when they pass,this fetisihization of pets is bizzare. The US uses more meat for pet dogs then all of the meat conumed in Germany as one example.
That aside, we could start with banning advertising, private jets, cruise ships, jet skis, flying, motocross bikes, private cars etc why ? Some poor dude being told to stop eating a burger isn’t going to take anyone seriously if Gate’s etal are still flying around in a private jet and folks are jetting around the world to see a Taylor Swift concert.
The burning of fossil fuels for electricity and heat accounts for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions, totaling 31% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, followed by transportation at 15%, manufacturing at 12.4% and animal agriculture at 11%

If the people that exclusively eat meat just reduces to a few times a week would do wonders.

I’m not nearly as worried about carbon dioxide as I am methane. Not eating beef is much easier than not burning fossil fuels.
