Food is arguably the best thing about being alive. No other bodily pleasure is enjoyed multiple times every day and never gets old. It is an expression of culture, our parents' love and a means of celebration or comfort. That’s why it hits a special nerve when we are told we should change what and how we eat to fight rapid climate change. One of the most delicious foods, meat, gets the worst press. It doesn’t help that the topic is really hard to properly research yourself and debates get emotional quickly. But clearly science can give us an answer!
The reality is, well, it’s complicated. Let’s take a look at three climate arguments against meat that are used a lot and see what happens.

Would be great if you guys also did a video on overfishing and seafood. Exploitation of fish stocks is a much larger issue than plastic pollution, but the media never cover it. I'm a marine biology undergraduate and I feel this is a super important topic for people to know about alongside this!

One thing to keep in mind: you don't have to go 100% vegan or vegetarian ... it isn't all or nothing. If you replace beef with pork or chicken, great. If you eat meat less often or have smaller portions, great. That all helps. I have changed to a mostly vegetarian diet but when I get Thai food (a couple times a month) I opt for chicken. If I'm eating with others and we are sharing food, I'll have what they're having, no fuss about insisting on vegetarian options.

THANK YOU! Nobody (other than the vegan extremists, who make up a very small, but vocal portion of us) wants to force people to eat the Beyond/Impossible/Gardein products. Literally all we want is for people to consider their options and see if changing 1 part of their diet is feasible. As stated in the video, more often than not, it's those few small decisions that make the biggest longterm difference. Go fully vegan? Awesome! Cut out 1 single beef dish per year? Still great! *One step forward is all it takes!*

And that's great if you're happy eating that. Some people get a greater joy from eating pork or beef and they're not required to give up the things that make them happy when there are plenty of other things that other people choose to do that contribute just as much or more to climate change. Just because a bunch of people who don't appreciate food decided it's easy to cut back on meat doesn't mean that it's the main problem or solution.

@@lauariasmart Why certainly! RU-vid deletes links, so you can search up *Nitrogen in the Environment: Nitrogen Replacement Value of Legumes.* Interestingly, it's not the soybeans themselves that contribute to soil nitrogen levels, but the bacteria that eat the dead soybean plants the next spring. This is different from what happens with corn. You can read more about that at *Why Do We Need a Soybean Nitrogen Credit* as well. You can search up *Soybeans for Hay or Silage* for some information on using soybeans as a crop for animals. Forage (grazing) soybeans are noted as not needing as much or any herbicide. They also need little to no pesticide. (Do you care if the cows eat bugs?) And due to the nitrogen fixing nature, obviously less fertilizer. Any crop grown for human consumption will use more herbicide, fertilizer (in this case probably more phosphorus), and pesticides. I looked for some articles about this, but couldn't find any. All the search results are full of the politicized misinformation about the topic. It's difficult to find anything about the actual farming techniques of human vs animal feed. I do hate it when politics completely drowns out science. Hopefully, it's just obviously apparent enough that human food requires better farming techniques than animal food.

The best thing about this is that putting heavy regulations on factory farms would still provide better outcomes for animals AND more efficient meat for us. The only reason we're not seeing more research and funding for things like lab grown meat as a livestock replacement is because the livestock industry is so lucrative and monopolized. Regulate the emissions, regulate the cruelty, and I guarantee you we'll be seeing massive breakthroughs in affordable meat products that are genetically identical to beef without ever having to grow and butcher a cow.

I think that would be very difficult to measure. Terrestrial plant life and usage can be measured, weighed, mapped, calculated down to pretty accurate figures. It's much more difficult to measure the exact diet of fish (stomach dissection help, but then you have to break down the "what smaller thing in the ocean was eating the next smaller thing" very far down) Fish also have free travel, unlike penned livestock. It's hard to measure the carbon storage of an area underwater and figure out how much of that a fish used, especially given the vast variety of fish we eat compared to our fairly standard terrestrial food animals. This applies mostly more to rivers and oceans, so lakes and ponds could be studied, but they make up such a small percentage of our aquatic diet compared to the oceans that it would likely be fairly useless. Fish farms could also be measured more accurately, but still I believe they are much less a factor than free ocean fishing and trawling. That said, I'm more a terrestrial than aquatic ecologist, so there could be many more studies in aquatic ecology that I'm not aware of.

Question, the long transport in ships may be efficient, but corps aren't grown and consumed in a harbour. Doesn't trasport to and from the harbours and distribution centres and then more local transport to supermarkets add up to more CO2 than just locally produced foods?

I mean it's a question of why we even consider animals to be food in the first place, when nutritionally they don't have anything unique or special that can't be derived from plant foods. Why is it that we only consider certain animals as food, but others as pets or zoo animals, etc? In America, we consider cow and pig to be food, but in India the cow is sacred and pork is forbidden in the Middle East. The Middle East sees horses, camels, and bunnies as food, Southeast Asia will eat snakes, while in some parts of Africa, insects are eaten happily. China considers dogs and cats to be food, and Eastern European countries prize sheep milk and goat milk over cow's milk. Think about why we don't have a universal ideal of what's food and what are protected animals. The reality is that you didn't come to eating animals intuitively, it's something we've been conditioned to believe for centuries. We don't salivate at raw meat or a bloody carcass the way real carnivores do. We need to cook our dead meat & season it in order for it to be chewable and palatable. We don't even have the proper teeth or claws to hunt animals, we manufactured tools to do so. Biologically, even our digestion is more aligned to a herbivore than an omnivore. Behaviorally, we've adapted to like meat, but deep down it was never a choice given to us. We were inculcated with these ideas in our unsuspecting youth just as our parents had once been, and their parents before, and their parents before... So to say that meat even tastes good is misleading, bc we go through ALOT of steps just to turn it into "food": blood-draining, de-furring, skinning, de-boning, removing tumors, etc. Then we need to hang it upside down on a hook in a fridge while it decomposes and collects bacterial slime aka "tenderizing". Then we scrape that slime off and start sectioning. We pump it with carbon monoxide to take it from deathly grey to rosy pink. Then the marinade/spices happens bc unseasoned meat tastes terrible. Then we cook it in order to avoid e.coli, listeria, or salmonella poisoning. Yum. But we're not done, bc meat is the #1 choking hazard for humans, so you still need a knife and fork. But sure, let's continue to convince ourselves that meat is a "human food".

Upgrade from me, sorry I am pasting: Methane caused by methanogenesis caused by cows, is generated by microbes and by low oxygen in the surrounding area. In cows ruminates there is no oxygen. BUT: cows are carbon! neutral! like every metabolism. this is just the carbon cycle. crude oli never reaches this. we use billions of gallons a day, says Statista. the sewage, the digestion under the town, is full of methane, caused by vegan human planteater. We can not digest fiber. And fiber cause methanogenesis. Meateaters won't cause methanogenesis, in meat is no fiber. (we use meat and animal fat, milk, cheese for energy, energy means CO2 /O2 excange = no methanogenesis is possible) Eat more grass finished meat. Stop corn finished meat. .. Corn-fed animals taste better (see popcorn) and are unhealthier (Omega6 Omega 3 ratio and so on) .. Petroleum not only adds carbon, petroleum, natural gas, coal also adds heat. 11kW per liter of oil. This heat is the stored energy in the fossil fuels. This is possible thanks to the energy of the earth pressure and the energy of the geothermal energy in the deep layers, which could convert the fossil and plant layers into our beloved oil, natural gas and coal rock. Below the clouds, the atmosphere warms up when we burn oil and natural gas, coal. Especially good on cold days when it is cloudy and cold at the same time. These are heat bubbles that move on and then spread out ... Sewer gas, landfill gas, sewage treatment gas, look it up. ... 😁And vegans cause more toilet paper, toilet paper causes more methane in the wastewater. Totally undigested cellulose, digested by microbes to produce methane. There is almost no oxygen under the city, because CO2 in the air is heavier than oxygen. No oxygen means methanogenesis, caused by human planteaters.

For all those asking why they didn't cover artificially produced meat - it's because it doesn't exist on a commercial scale yet. Nobody has managed to scale artificial meat production (as opposed to meat substitutes) to a scale where it's capable of being part of the solution. If it turns out to be possible to produce artificial meat cheaply en-masse then that would be great, but you can't rely on a technology that nobody has yet proved works (and is economically viable) on a large scale, and nobody is capable of predicting whether technology that doesn't currently exist might exist in the future. It's the same reason why nobody is going to suggest humanity will depend on nuclear fusion in a video on future energy - it'd be great if it became feasible, but nobody knows whether it ever will.

"Meat Hate" is not meant to be their take, but rather the popular belief (meat/cows are "evil") on which they establish their investigation.

I worked in the beef industry for several years and heavily researched the carbon impact of beef. I largely agree with the conclusion of this video. The biggest problem with beef production is a matter of scale. Scaling up production is "efficient" in terms of dollars and profit, but comes at the cost of slash and burn land clearing, intensive monocrop animal feed agriculture, extreme water use and water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Beef absolutely can be raised in an environmentally friendly and low emissions way, but the maximum amount that can be produced without serious negative externalities is less than 20% of current beef consumption. Worldwide, there is not much land that has the correct soil and climate to be good at raising beef, but in a way that does not negatively affect the biodiversity of the environment. Basically only semi-arid grasslands that have historically supported large populations of bison or other migratory grass eating animals.
@cwmoo
@cwmoo 2 года назад
^ and it goes without saying that if production is reduced, the price of beef will skyrocket.

And the price is artificially lowered by subsidies on water, fossil fuels, and farmland that go into producing feed for industrial beef operations.

@@chimp09 For starters: the amount of beef being eaten had dropped significantly and the land being used to cultivate beef is 2/3rds not suitable for growing other crops. The food we do feed to cows from soy production for example are mostly defatted, making them waste products. The citations of 77% of soy goes to animals needs clarification: 77/100 beans do not go to feeding animals, 77% of every bean is used to feed animals because 23% is oil and is used for that purpose. A very, VERY small amount is fed to animals as whole beans but on the whole, Soy is fed to animals because the waste of the kernel would otherwise end up in a landfill after being squeezed for their oil. Prior to the 1940s no one grew soy as cattle feed - it was primary used to regenerate fields. Cows were fed on corn because the kernels could be rearrested and then fed to pigs since cows are ruminants. On top of that, the characterization of meat = rainforest loss is disingenuous because governments don't get income from forests. As such the idea that eating less meat = saving forests has no basis in fact. It has been the policy of the Brazilian government since 1958 to cut back the rainforest. Capital exploitation is responsible for environmental degradation: Meat production is one symptom, not the cause. To prove this we can take 3 case studies - the island of Borneo and Madagascar, both of which have had their rainforests demolished for oil palm production and rice cultivation respectively. Their rainforests are just as dead as those turned over to cattle ranching. The arctic boreal forest disproves their theory entirely - with no agricultural pressure on it, the boreal forests are logged at the same rate as the tropical rainforests to meet demands for wood - you can't grow soy in the arctic. Kurzgesats is great, I love their theorizing and it's fun but they got this one Really, REALLY wrong: we've kept billions of cows for thousands of years with no discernable effect on the climate so to claim it's a major contributor has no basis in actuality.

In the US Northwest. The fishing industry is broken. The waters are vastly overfished, and the current regulations focus on taking the exact maximum we can from the water which prevents populations from growing. Then you add in illegal fishing from foreign countries to fuel the fishing industry and all of a sudden that very careful balance act is now decreasing populations. Add in the focus on larger fish meaning smaller fish survive to breed, meaning future generations are on average smaller. Smaller and fewer predator fish mean marine mammals like otters and sea lions shift to eating more shellfish, which is what young predator fish rely on in their youth, resulting in mor problems. As a fisherman, I hate to admit it, but the fishing industry needs to shut out wild caught fish for probably 30-40 years and focus on farming shellfish, kelp, and algae to allow fish populations to stabilize and flourish and repair aquatic biomes. But, you can't shake the dislike of fish farming. Hell, my neighbor has a sign that says "Friends don't let friends eat farmed fish."

It's just that at the moment, the electrical infrastructure isn't there in most places.

Depending upon how local stuff is distributed, there are efficient ways of doing it, but the common farmers market is so bad you might as well put your grapes or lettuce on a private airplane and send it to the other side of the planet. Its stupifyingly bad. Transportation of food across the globe is insanely efficient.

@Tommy50377
@Tommy50377 2 года назад
@@bethgodley2930 I was thinking the same thing. Yeah, it's incredibly efficient to send things by sea. But the fact of the matter is if you replaced those avocados with beef, it'd be the exact same amount. And the journey of plants doesn't end at the harbor. They're immediately unloaded from the ships and into trucks, which then take it inland to wherever. Sure, if you grow the produce on the shoreline, load it into a ship, and have someone eat it literally as soon as it gets off the ship, then it's more efficient. But at the end of the day, after traveling by boat, all produce has to move just as far, if not farther then it would if farmed locally.

There is evidence by Allan Savory that indices that trampling by large herds of herbivores was a key element in the growing process. So probably now we need to feed cows on grasslands in order to prevent desertification

Edit: just to clarify, I believe red meat to actually be very healthy, as long as it's raised in a natural, grass-fed manner, so that's the reason I say "not so much for health reasons". But ofc artificial hormones are used in corporate beef raising, plus they are fed grain in place of grass, a non-natural food source; and I doubt either are great for our bodies. So while it's not practical for everyone to switch over to 100% plants-only diet, I definitely support encouraging everyone to limit consuming beef and meat products from industrial farming sources, if at all possible.

I’ve always wondered why I’ve rarely heard aquaponics be brought in reference to this topic. It seems like it could really help reduce the amount of farm land needed to grow crops, reduce the usage of fertilizers, and also double for farming fish. Or maybe the power required to run these types of farms would create a large carbon foot print, or it might that the infrastructure required is to expensive to reasonably attempt. I would love to see you guys do a video on the topic! Edit: Thanks for the responses! It was really just a thought so I'm glad I got some clarification on the issues at hand. It sounds like the main take away is that while it could be a promising idea, the technology isn't there yet and that running it currently would be too costly in money, energy, and space, which is what I was afraid of. Thanks you guys for the explanation.

hydroponics takes more room to grow stuff tho.. it takes a lot of room to grow just 1 plant with hydroponics, you need watering system, with nutrients, as well as heating and land to put all that stuff.. it wouldn't be worth it for mass produce But for you at home, for a small garden, it is a good option

@@AlexDerange They're talking about aquaponics, not hydroponics. Similar names, very different means. Aquaponics refers to farming IN bodies of water, such as the ocean, to grow aquatic crops or livestock - Seaweed, Fish, Mussels, and Crabs, to name a few.

And as someone who lives in a conection from river to sea let me tell you. Fishing has lowered 30%, and water getsmore and more cotnaminated. Why? Increment in temperature. Just 1 centigrade more in water make fish go lower, or just go somewhere else. Also kill some plant and increment bacteria production We got ciano bacteria warning 10 years ago, then 4 years after. Now we have a warning EVERY YEAR. Bodies of water are getting less and less productive. Both fishing, tourism and usage for consumption!

It really is part of our culture. Most of us (if not everyone) grew eating meat just like any other food, it's hard to see what's wrong with it cause we're actually attached to it. An even debate comes from a mutual understanding of both stands and context, so yeah I totally appreciate them adding it

"You can decide for yourself what you want to do with this information." This is why I respect this channel. In the end the biggest difference can be made through education. People need to buy in to a choice to turn things around. And no matter how much you may disagree with dissenting voices or how much the research contradicts them, they are a necessity. Some ideas that were radical and shunned in the past have proved to be important. For as much ignorance, conspiracy theories and blatant political propaganda there is out there, having a world in which that can exist is more important than one where we weed it all out under the pretense of knowing the absolute truth. This channel informs and then invites you to research and form your own opinion, it doesn't tell you what you ought to believe. To truly believe something, you have to arrive at it yourself to some extent. Good work.
