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.

On a Sunday in the spring of 1998 I went to a Catholic mass for the final time. The reason? I was passed a piece of paper and expected to sign a petition demanding a halt to all criminal executions in Texas. (I was not even a conservative at that time.) Churches with strong liberal views will find the heat being turned up as they begin to notice the roof falling in.

“The Clergy have no business in the promotion of either Vegetarian diets or the Man Made Climate Change hoax.”

They do have a responsibility to warn against lying. (Except by “devout Catholic” Joe).

May the good Lord take a liking to you, LOL that's quite a lot of predictions there. But I did say "arguably" regarding land, so the arguments can get big.

As long as you agree with me that government and globalists need to be shut down on this matter, I am glad.

“The animals we eat won’t go extinct.”

The exact opposite. If we didn’t eat beef some cattle breeds would likely be in danger of going extinct. Is that compassionate?

Wow. They need to double up on their efforts against abortion before they sympathize with sadistic killers on death row.

I get it. I originally was going to point out that there are a lot fewer horses than their used to be. Not being born or extinct is not compassionate.

LOL. Let's just agree to make sure the commies and globalists don't make the human race as we know it go extinct with their various forms of meddling against the species.

Veganisn isn’t compassionate, it’s anti-human.
Humans are meat eaters.

This “eating less meat” is one more thing predicted in eschatology as a “doctrine of devils”.

1 Timothy 4:1-5 (KJV)

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.”

Veganisn isn’t compassionate

Thanks. Your post makes me realize I could have worded my comment better as: "I would pleased if more folks to adopt a vegan diet inspired by a belief that it is more compassionate.

My original wording seems to have made what was supposed to be a tangential point into something itself argumentative.

Yup, variety is good. 100 vegans and 100 keto people pretty much even each other out and no one should be forcing either diet on anyone.
