We Now Must Become Vegetarians to Save the Planet, New Report Claims
PJ Media ^ | August 5, 2019 | John Ellis

Posted on 08/06/2019 6:00:58 AM PDT by C19fan

The World Resources Institute (WRI), which is supported in part by the U.N., is encouraging humans to give up eating meat. Doing so, they believe, will not only help with food supplies but will also combat climate change. Become a vegetarian or watch the world starve to death and burn is the messaging, I guess.

Writing in their report, the WRI project claims:

[C]onsumption of animal-based foods to rise 68 percent between 2010 and 2050, with an 88 percent increase in consumption of ruminant meat (meat from cattle, sheep, and goats). These trends are a major driver of the food, land, and GHG mitigation gaps. For every food calorie generated, animal-based foods—and ruminant meats in particular—require many times more feed and land inputs, and emit far more greenhouse gases, than plant-based food.

If you want to build muscle so you can have the strength to survive in The Thunderdome we all know is coming you are going to need that protein from slaughtered animals. Personally, I have been pleasantly surprised I am still capable of getting results in the gym at my age. YMMV but “eat protein and lift heavy objects” is still a great path to the strength that enhances survival.

Meats are rich with Niacin. Niacin is eliminates anxiety disorders of all types. Jordan Peterson went to a carnivore diet to reduce his anxieties.

With more mass shootings you would think reducing anxiety should be the goal.

What about all the wild animals who eat other animals? Will these folks try to convert them to rocks and twigs?

Using corn for fuel is a plus for vegan heads.

If you watch a vegan eat they it looks like someone who on the brink of starvation which is probably because they are.

Wait, what about the maggot farms?

Protein is essential for nourishment.

“Soy is destroying the planet

Some vegetarians argue that eating meat destroys the planet and that replacing meat protein with soy is a good alternative. Absolute nonsense. Those who believe in that have absolutely no clue about the way the industrialized system works.

Soy crops are probably the most destructive of all the monocrops. They rob the soil of nutrients without giving back, they’re one of the pesticide laden crops and they are now almost all genetically modified. The major part of it goes to feed livestock, who get sick eating it. Some factory produced cuts of meat are now injected with extra soy. This is yet another reason to stay clear of factory-farmed animals: save yourself and the environment from soy.

Monsanto, the largest soy producer now sues every farmer who gets their soy cross-pollinated by Monsanto’s patented GMO crops. Cross-pollination used to be the way plants reproduced, now it’s illegal! It should actually be the opposite where the farmers sue Monsanto for infecting their crops, but of course Monsanto is now too big to be vulnerable. They have a very strong political power because of the lobbying they do.”

You know the types:

Eating meat is bad for the planet (only rich people can eat meat, while we eat Khmer Rouge soup)
Private automobiles are bad for the planet (only rich people can have private automobiles, while we use filthy, crime-ridden mass transit)
Detached single-family homes are bad for the planet (only rich people will own their own homes, while we live in worker hives with the proper allocation set aside for the gibsmedats)
Children are bad for the planet (only rich people should have them)
Blah blah blah blah blah

No wonder young people are so extreme either way; they’re being told that their parents had is beyond their means.

As they’ve moved so much work from the West to the Third World, they have to deal with the expectations of the rising middle class there; they will want homes and cars and meat and everything else Westerners had when they were the manufacturing center of the globe. Rather than just shut them down, they intend to reduce our standard of living to that of people in India/Red China.

Don’t believe me? Look at what the wages of young people get them today...shared rides and shared apartments.

The vegans have a tactic of piggy-backing on more popular ideologies.

This time it's climate change, but they also tried it with anti-racism, feminism, socialism, and various other isms.

Predicted in the Bible in I Timothy 4.
People will be forbidden to marry and to eat meat.

Which is the healthier ecosystem?

This?

or this?

(Ignoring, for the moment, that much of our cattle pasture cannot be farmed.)

Insectarians have been trying to convince that eating insects is the way to save the planet.

To each, his own. I'll stick with fried chicken or grilled steak, fried or baked potatoes, white gravy on the side, and a green salad with buttermilk ranch dressing.
