For any person — or publication — wanting to envision a more sustainable way to cook, cutting out beef is a worthwhile first step. Almost 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions globally come from livestock (and everything involved in raising it); 61 percent of those emissions can be traced back to beef. Cows are 20 times less efficient to raise than beans and roughly three times less efficient than poultry and pork. It might not feel like much, but cutting out just a single ingredient — beef — can have an outsize impact on making a person's cooking more environmentally friendly.
Today Epicurious announces that we've done just that: We've cut out beef. Beef won't appear in new Epicurious recipes, articles, or newsletters. It will not show up on our homepage. It will be absent from our Instagram feed.
We know that some people might assume that this decision signals some sort of vendetta against cows — or the people who eat them. But this decision was not made because we hate hamburgers (we don't!). Instead, our shift is solely about sustainability, about not giving airtime to one of the world's worst climate offenders. We think of this decision as not anti-beef but rather pro-planet. [No, it's about cows —ed.]
Of course, when it comes to the planet, eschewing beef is not a silver bullet. All ruminant animals (like sheep and goats) have significant environmental costs, and there are problems with chicken, seafood, soy, and almost every other ingredient. In a food system so broken, almost no choice is perfect.

Wine is not a food yet if you drive anywhere in California you see vineyards and wineries everywhere. It is a huge waste of land. We could get rid of expensive wineries and grow beef instead.
That is not how California works. If they rip out the vineyards they will use the land to grow pot, not beef cattle, in order to produce more stoned Democrats,.
Pot is like the Holy Grail to Californian leftists, which is why I drink alcohol if I'm going to use a substance to unwind. I like the visual of liberal heads exploding :)
You will take my wine from my cold dead hands.
Why would anybody want to do that?
Sustainable food to a socialist is Soylent Green.
Most of these types WANT the extinction of domestic animals. That’s what it’s co-wacko group, animal “rights”, is about.
This is a religion. Their basic premise is that people=profane (includes domestic animals) and nature=devine (wild only). It’s the culture of death.
Epicurious goes bicurious.
In the end they'll have to live on dropped fruit and sunshine.
True. They need to perform seppuku on themselves because people pass gas too. But wait, the socialists will just kill us off because we don't conform to their insane beliefs anyway.
Mmm
good looking salad :)
When they start coming for your food, you better sit up and
take notice.
Soylent Green was set in 2021.
It is time for all good people to humble Condé Nast to the dust.
BOYCOTT!!!
PING!
We got rid of 20 million buffalo and replaced them with 20 million head of cattle. The way I look at it, we’re even. How about recognizing our buffalo hunters as the nation’s first woke environmentalists.
Weird how the fears are never realized, despite a century of chicken-littleism. If the market is growing, people will find a way to cater to it. Of course, when commies are in control, innovation grinds to a halt and moves to the black market.
We are rapidly approaching a soylent green diet with these Marxists in charge.

I guess this is why I decided to make a Philly cheesesteak for lunch today.
If these environweenies eliminate protein from animals, how much land will be needed to grow the proteins to replace it? Each acre of farm land used to grow any crop takes energy, water, fertilizer to manage it. These environweenies don’t have a clue about what it takes to farm a square foot much less than 100 acres of soy boy beans.
They can go ahead and eat their kibbles and bits from a dog food bag out of a dog dish. We will eat our king crab, Angus beef, Maine lobster, Chinook Salmon, Char Siu, raw Hood Canal Summerstone oysters and Rocky Mountain oysters.
Oh, ok. Got it.
