Eating Meat Is Bad for Climate Change, and Here Are All the Studies That Prove It
Eating Meat Is Bad for Climate Change, and Here Are All the Studies That Prove It
As negotiations get underway at COP28, we compiled a list of the leading research documenting the connection between meat and greenhouse gas emissions.

Reminder that good is not the enemy of perfect. It is much easier to convince 100 people to eat 10% less meat than to convince 10 people to become vegetarian.
I've started eating vegetarian several days a week and all it's done is introduce me to some amazing tasting food that I haven't tried before because of the dumb stigma that vegetarian means not tasty. I find that I enjoy some of these vegetarian dishes more than it's meat counterpart because it's not ruined by tough overcooked tasteless meat.
Substituting some of your mince for plant based alternatives is something I highly recommend everyone does.
You'll be hard pressed to tell the difference because you still get all the oils and flavours from the meat, and the substitutes have a nearly identical texture. It's a super easy way to reduce your meat intake without changing your food much.
I've been vegan for a week now, shits hard - snacks suck but Oreos are on the menu.
Good job! Snacks do suck, nowadays I usually forego snacks entirely but fruit is always ol reliable for quick and easy.
How do you not snack? What do I do with my hands during my finite spare time?
Futile vegan activism on the internet lmao
Remember to supplement the missing vitamins. I think B12 is the big one, but also about 40% of people can't turn beta carotene into vitamin A (retinol) and need to supplement it. If you run into odd vision problems, try vitamin A - the first sign of a deficiency is night blindness
(Hardly a full diet when one supplement is needed for everyone, and several more for some)
I take a multivitamin just for the hell of it, figure I'll piss out what's not needed and take what is.
It's the specific proteins I'm worried about missing out, though macros weren't a concern when I ate meat so seems silly to care now.
I thought the proteins thing was a myth. If you have a diverse enough diet, you should be fine. Just make sure you’re getting nuts, beans, etc.
All worth it to punch a heart on moon for your SO.
