Meat consumption in western countries such as Ireland may need to drop by 90 percent to avert a climate catastrophe and reverse the current obesity epidemic, a new study has warned.
The research by 20 influential food scientists, published in the Lancet Medical Journal, suggests the global food system is unsustainable and driving the planet towards environmental destruction while simultaneously leaving billions of people either underfed or overweight. […]
To get the required daily intake of calories, people would be expected to eat almost 18 times as much dry beans, soy and nuts. …
To promote the shift to a healthier diet based on a more sustainable food system, the study by the Eat-Lancet Commission, a collaboration of the Oslo-based Eat foundation and the Lancet Medical Journal, proposes a raft of measures including the introduction of a meat tax akin to the sugar tax and the withdrawal of certain products altogether. …

Which in turn creates great flatulence which harms the environment.......I'm so confused with these people.
Adds beef and chicken to shopping list.
@ City Market in Luling right now — doing what I can for meat consumption!
Yeah...everyone eat potatoes! How did that work out? What warmist nitwits.
Fire up the grill!
Think about it. Little, weak people without the strength to fight the master race.
And just imagine the wildfires caused when wandering clouds of this stuff encounter campfires in U.S. Forest Service campgrounds.
We're talking major Code Red here.
My gosh...you should be lauded, and on The View, MSM, NBC, CBS, etc..etc.....
Can you imagine the flatulence that would be produced if everyone greatly increased their consumption of dry beans? But wait!! We can’t do that either because of greenhouse gases. The only solution I see is massive efforts at starvation. The envirowhacks would love that one.
Are the Fraud and his ilk worried about there being enough Kobe beef to go around to all the important people?

Veganism, bad.
Carnivorism, good.
The Puritans were more fun-loving than this bunch.

If we should limit meat consumption to avoid disaster, state one amount of meet which all consumers must not exceed. Make it mandatory and include ALL rich/poor/whatever.
No exceptions. No Al Gore (fat *ssht) purchasing of extras for whatever reasons. No mansions, no fancy restaurants, no limos for Soros, etc.
And if exceptions are granted, we know that the threat was made up.
Me jealous. City Market - yumm.
They assume that all of us buy meat in a store. Some folks eat game that they hunt and kill themselves.
