Cows fart too much and clog up the ozone

These people do not understand land management or rotation farming or best forms of nutrition.
We don't need to reduce cattles or other kinds of meat, I'd say a bigger issue is wasting food in the west, more people need to learn how to cook and best forms of preserving food.
They also dont understand biomes (ironically enough). Here in Kansas, we have the last of the Tallgrass Prairie that exist in any sort of major quantity. The prairie used to extend all the way up to Illinois from Colorado, but almost all of it has either turned into forest because of well-meaning people wanting to let trees grow, and more often because it has been plowed under for farmland.
Meanwhile, our soil was too tough and rocky to plow with old iron plows, and by the time steel plows came conservation efforts were already underway to protect it. So what did we do with it instead? Cattle. Lots of Cattle. And it turns out, domestic cattle and the bison before them have very similar grazing patterns. So parts of the prairie that had been falling into disrepair sprang back into life as the cattle took their place in the circle of life.
Whenever I try to explain that to the eco-nuts, they look at me like I am speaking Greek, because they can not comprehend it.
They don't understand anything, they only pay lip service to the environment.
Anytime you cut down a bunch of trees they go 'You're destroying the environment!' Not knowing by doing that, your letting sunlight in for new plant to grow. Same with cattle management and hunting, there are an abundance of Deer in the UK because centuries ago they hunted all the wolves and bears, best solution, hunting licences and more venison meals.
I saw a video a little while ago how introducing wolves back into an ecosystem kept the deer population in check, which had a positive cascade effect. Fewer deer meant more plants could grow, increasing the diversity of animal life. It even improved the rivers, as the increased vegetation on the banks lessened soil erosion.
Sure, but then you have fucking wolves in your ecosystem.
(podcast clip wherein Sargon brags about how safe the UK wilderness is, and provides a history lesson on the dangers of wolves)
It's mixed, in America I think they reintroduced wolves into certain parts and it seems to work, but there's factors in that:
America is a large place
There are still larger predator animals around
They are talking about doing the same in the UK where I think there are 12 wolves in Scotland but it will probably not work as well, will incur wolf attacks on people and backlash. Just allowing more hunting licences and organising seasons is probably a better course of action.
Its the same with Louisiana. The Barataria Terrebonne Estuary is one of the most important source of seafood in America, and probably one of the only things keep the cheap chinese farm shit from overtaking the entire market. Every year it keeps eroding more and more into the Gulf because Hurricanes and tide are brutal, while mega corporations tear it apart for more abusive industry (hey BP, still waiting on you to finish cleaning up your mess!).
But the most we get is "lul, retarded rednecks built their homes under sea level, let em drown (except the negroes, we'd never say something mean about them)."
They also keep feeding the cows soy (for various shitty reasons)…
If we stop feeding the cows soy, various problems go away. But that won’t happen, because it’s “racist” (to China, where the cows are, and to Brazil, which largely produces the fucking soy)…
Yes, globalization is that fucking ridiculous.
The best things you can learn to cook are rice and pasta, these two basic ingredients serve as the best bedrock for a filling meal
Add some pesto, different vegetables like bell peppers and red onion and tuna to pasta, got a great lunch when you're at work. Rice, look at Asia, there's a TON of ways to have rice. Getting ready meals should be an exception rather than something you rely on.
I've met people not capable of that! They are even scared to fry an egg and these are people above the age of 10!
Everything in moderation of course but red meat has a lot of benefits. This anti meat push is insane
BRB going to Heart Attack Grill.
These were made up studies in the 90s as a way to reduce fat consumption & promote vegetarianism.

Not a bad article from 2012 before eating beat got even more politicized.

Biased but no less factual.
You're probably thinking of red meat cooked in vegetable oil.
Well that’s true. Exercise as well
How this usually goes:
🙄
why isnt it cooked fully?
I agree that it's more red than I'd like, but with a proper steak or slab of meat, you only really need to cook it well on the surface in order to kill most bacteria that hooked onto it between the time it was cut and when you throw it on a grill.
im one of those freaks who likes to work his jaw muscles on a tough overdone steak
Implied in your statement so maybe it goes without saying, but just in case someone doesn't know, ground beef does need to be cooked thoroughly because the inner portion was exposed to bacteria during preparation.
Hipsters and women like their beef raw.
Found the vegan.
TIL eating cooked meat makes me a vegan
It’s odd, but also interesting, the timing of this…
All the other ways to try and forcibly reduce red meat consumption have failed miserably, so now we have this…
Right when even fucking Aldi is pushing “edible bugs”…
I’m too cynical to think these things aren’t connected.
See also: the EU banning petrol and diesel car sales by 2035, to “encourage electric car sales”. Seemingly not just new p&d cars, but used as well…
Which is totally fucking insane, I might add.
