I’m a carnivore. I eat beef and pork and the rest. These animals can be humanely raised AND in ways that restores the health of the planet. Let’s figure out how. There were 30 million bison living on the plains when Columbus arrived on this continent.

Many of our patients are hospitalized several times a year. We call them “frequent flyers” - some are alcoholics and/or drug addicts, but many are “just” chronically ill because of their lifestyles. Most are Type 2 Diabetics who don’t know what to eat or are just non-compliant. We are required to educate them, but they don’t listen, don’t care, don’t believe that they can get better because they’ve been told they have a Chronic Progressive Disease. 😣 I can only say so much about low carb or Keto to patients without jeopardizing my job. 😟

@mikeh1259 2 месяца назад

Well let's see... if the veges/grains were grown using natural, organic fertiliser, then those emissions are all carbon neutral. If however, they were grown using chemical fertilisers, then those emissions, at least in part, are coming from sources previously locked-away underground and now released, causing a net increase in atmospheric CO2. If our cows are fed chaff or corn that has been chemically fertilised, then some of their emissions, too are net positive. It all depends on where the carbon came from in the first place.

@georgemead6608 3 месяца назад

Claims that eliminating animal source foods would reduce GHG emissions never address the offset that would occur by replacing the animal foods with non-animal foods. It is almost as if they think that non-animal foods just appear magically without any GHG emissions.

@Aiken47 3 месяца назад

All ghg is produced by bacteria, whether in a cow or in the ground the gas is a = amount because that grass will still be decomposed., in fact market vegetable cultivation kills more soil bacteria than restorative cattle farming due to contact with air during tilling and heavy fertilising, pesticides etc. organic grown doesn’t change that.

The climate is changing, and it is human caused. The fossil fuel industry as well as the "green energy" industry both lie for profit. When the Thwaites glacier goes, and it won't be long, many major cities like Miami, NYC, Washington, London, Hong Kong, and many more will sink beneath the waves in a matter of days. Of course, by then it will be too late, and the end of civilization, Mad Max here we come. And with the collapse of civilization, forget about "researching" on the internet, and you will die in ignorance. Hard to believe these days that there are still people who don't know how to follow the money to find out who's fooling them.

@suewestby824 3 месяца назад

The same happens whether harvesting plants for people to eat or plants for animals to eat. It's the harvesting method that is so bad for little critters in a field. I wish the harvesters would start down the centre of a crop so the animals could escape to the edges. 😢 I'm a carnivore BTW.

None of this is an issue, it is the release of sequested carbon and the rate at which it is added to the atmosphere which is the problem. Natural carbon is not a problem, because animals, fires from wood burning has been occurring for millenia, but the captured carbon coming into the system from deep deposits at a incredible rate without recapture is the true cause.

@mikeh1259 2 месяца назад

This greenhouse gas thing is a complete misdirection. The only reason, and it is the ONLY reason, that atmospheric CO2 levels can increase beyond natural variation levels is due to CO2 being released from previously underground, locked way sources. That is coal, oil, permafrost & limestone ALL animal emissions are part of a natural cycle of carbon. In the air, in the plant, in the animal, back in the air again. It is actually less than net zero carbon output, because the animal is growing and retaining much of that carbon it is ingesting. Some of this carbon is released when the animal is eaten or dies and rots, the rest is transferred to the diner or back into the soil as it rots. As far as agriculture is concerned, the only emissions we need to be looking at are the emissions from fossil fuels. Even burning of stubble, albeit smokey and gross while it lasts, is carbon neutral because all that CO2 released came from the soil in the first place, which came from the air. The exception is chemical fertilisers made from fossil fuels, meaning that even the wheat and canola and soy grown in this manner are guilty of burning fossil fuels and increasing the atmospheric CO2, even before the harvesting machinery is dug up, smelted, transported, fabricated, assembled, transported again, filled with diesel and operated non-stop for days and weeks at a time. Yeah, let's blame the cows. Am I off with any of this?

@julienfroidevaux1143 We are already doing that with building materials. According to the Kansas Wheat Commission & Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, things like insulation, wood substitutes (such as plywood and pressed particleboard materials) and roofing materials may also contain gluten - so if you are highly sensitive, it may be best to have someone else handle these products for you ... But U.S. ethanol biorefiners produce distillers, grains, gluten feed, and gluten meal. These bio-products are valuable corn and soybean meal substitutes in rations used around the world to feed beef and dairy cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, fish and other animals. Ethanol is not made from by-products. It creates by-products. How is glycerol (a by-products of biodiesel) disposed of? Do not let the product enter drains. Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

I haven't seen that particular video, but I am 100% comfortable saying that it is, no doubt, based on an epidemiological study and a twisting of the actual results, because this is where nearly all nutrition claims come from. Epidemiological studies can ONLY suggest association, they can never prove causation. This is the primary way these studies are abused to serve certain agendas. They are population studies based on Food Frequency Questionnaires, which are notoriously poor evidence. This is why people are rightfully confused by the constantly changing nutrition headlines. In fact, the media makes it even worse by writing headlines that don't even accurately reflect the claims of the study. They just go for the headline that will get them clicks.
