“With a growing population on the planet – we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century."
love the half a degree nonsense. just because you eat
meanwhile, the rest of the ■■■■ hole world commits ecocide:
are you going to change the amount of meat you eat so china can pollute more?
Its just a report with a recommendation. You are free to ignore it. Get back to me with the outrage when Biden signs an EO banning meat.
As Lucy said, many people are reducing the amount of meat the consume for various reasons. I love a bacon sandwich but find myself eating meat less and less and certainly not in the amounts I did when I was younger.
“ FAO’s first-of-its-kind document will recommend nations that “over-consume meat” to limit their consumption as part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,”
No one is making a recommendation to “stop eating meat”.
A recommendation to lower meat consumption and to lower emissions in meat production is something many people are already doing, and will continue to do.
Lots of young people going into sustainable farming are already leading the way.
