To help save the planet, cut back to a hamburger and a half per week
CNN ^ | July 17, 2019 | Jen Christensen

Americans will need to cut their average consumption of beef by about 40% and Europeans by 22%, for the world to continue to feed the 10 billion people expected to live on this planet in 2050, according to a new report.

That means each person could have about a burger and a half each week.

This calculation comes from the World Resources Institute, a global research nonprofit that supports better use of natural resources to sustain a growing population. Its research looks at agriculture, the climate crisis, poverty and gender, among other topics.

Its final "Creating a Sustainable Food Future" report released Wednesday takes a closer look at the gaps in food production and global demand and makes several concrete recommendations on how to prevent a catastrophe. Eating less beef is one such suggestion in the 568-page report.

I’ll keep eating as much as I want. Last I heard, we only had 12 years.

To help save the planet, CNN can ESAD. It would be, after all, a form of recycling, for them to do that.

Didn’t Ocasio-Cortez say we have to overhaul farming and agriculture and ranching, as part of the Green New Deal?

Does she eat hamburgers?

All meats are very high on vitamin b3 niacin which can cure all forms of anxieties(from Dementia to Schizophrenia) by lowering the secretions of Dopamine from the liver. From Dr Hoffer has more on this.

How is this going to work out. I'm wondering if there is a relationship of less meat creates more libs?
