Ministers 'should urge public to eat less meat'
BBC ^ | 6/24/2021 | Roger Harrabin

The UK public should be urged by the government to protect the climate by eating less meat and dairy produce, advisers say.

Cattle are a major source of planet-heating gases, but ministers fear a backlash if they ask people to cut down on steak.

But the Climate Change Committee (CCC) says people should reduce meat-eating for their health, as well as for the planet.

It says the issue's one of many failings of a government which is delivering only a fifth of its pledges on climate change.

People should be asked to eat 20% less meat and dairy produce by 2030, and 35% less by 2050, the CCC insists.

The CCC says Boris Johnson must devise evidence-based policies to encourage healthier diets and set clear targets.

Its report says the PM's "remarkable" climate leadership is undermined by inadequate policies and poor implementation in many areas of policy.

A government spokesman said its Net Zero Strategy due in the Autumn would show where carbon cuts would be imposed across the economy.

As my screen name suggests, I am vegan, and would be pleased if more folks to take up a compassion-inspired vegan lifestyle... but leftist New World Order elites have no business in this personal decision. Any government or NGO push for eating less meat of course must be opposed. Climate change is bs. These demons want to consolidate control over land and economy. Growing crops may arguably have some local environmental and efficiency advantages, but that's a local issue. I urge any vegans/vegetarians out there not to fall in line with this agenda.

It is astonishing how this “decarbonization” strategy has consumed the (formerly free) western world. Meanwhile, China, India and other sensible places completely ignore it.

Now do the size of plains Buffalo herds, and passenger pigeon flocks, in the 1800s.

Lies on top of other lies.

The globalist power brokers are still going to eat their steaks just as the elites did in Soylent Green.

LOL

I'm sure they want Man to also live by "every word that proceeds from the mouth " of the globalists.

And the globalist power brokers still jet internationally to conferences rather than staying home and telecommuting.

They want fewer men (and women) to live, period.

They have stated for half a century that there are too many people in this world.

We still have “Eat More Beef” tags on vehicles riding around town. I think I need to get one for myself. . . .

What's compassionate about being vegan?

And why can't you just eat your veggies and mind your own business?

Welcome to FR.

I have no idea what a compassion-inspired vegan lifestyle is, but I'll bet you've murdered a lot of carrots in your day.
