Lessening the consumption of oils, refined sugar, stimulants, and alcohol by a fifth would slash greenhouse gas emissions created by these products by 43 percent.

No beer? That shouldn't tick off too many folks.

All the vegans I know are fat.

I raise beef cattle on my farm.

Screw the UN. I'll eat beef.

Save the plant through dieting. Time for Hank Johnson to suggest that the earth’s rotation is off because of obese Americans.

I wonder what the scientific background of the “research” team is. Very little information is given here, but the little provided tells me that they overlooked quite a few pertinent facts in this “study.”

Two of the omitted considerations are that 1) cows, sheep, beans, tomatoes—every food we eat—is made out of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is impossible for any food item to cause an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere; and 2) that animals eat plants and plant parts that are inedible to humans, and therefore make land use more efficient by decreasing plant waste.

Widespread vegetarianism and veganism would both necessitate turning vast amounts of land to agricultural use, which would decrease habitats for wildlife. Although wildlife might decrease, too, as desperate people turn to eating wildlife when animal products are no longer allowed to be sold. And I hate to think of the medical issues, along with the aggressiveness and loss of mental resilience that result from plant-based diets.

Eating left-wingers is the best diet to save the planet. I had my share from Smith and Barnard, but the Randolph Bacon one was the best.

This is all dependent on the belief that “greenhouse gases” are bad.

But they aren’t.

But I thought we were supposed to be eating bugs and other poeple. I wish “researchers” would make up their minds.

...with 6.54 kg (14.4 pounds) of bovine meat some 316 times more greenhouse gas intensive than pulses.

Newsweek has reached a pathetic state their sentences are now incoherent random combinations of catch phrases.

Why reference a certain odd amount of meat as 316 greater than what, exactly? “Pulses”?

Liberal jack-asses want to regulate what you eat. Do not doubt this. “Hell yes, we’re coming for your cheeseburgers”, will be heard from some Democrat before long.
