“Cattle are a major source of planet-heating gases...”
They just made up this sh-t .... have they no observed China’s power plants and giga-factories?
“Eat what? Sorry, can’t hear you over these yummy noises from everyone eating steak and burgers around me!”
No one here gives a DAMN about your eating habits....
As long as you’re for personal choice in the matter I’ve no problem with you. Welcome!

Have you ever watched the movie titled The Secret Life Of Plants?
Heehee.
There's not enough land on the planet that's suitable for growing enough crops for everyone to go vegan. We're omnivores and have survived by eating pretty much what's available in the location we are. As you say, a local issue. Many cultures are simply bad at growing crops too. China has turned a lot of land into desert. Muslims have always been bad at agriculture. They also like goat and goats can be like locusts if not managed properly, which they don't. Manure is fertilizer and if we cut down on animals too much, that leaves chemical fertilizers which we already use too much of and when they leach or run off into rivers, kill aquatic life.
We're omnivores and different areas on the planet are only suitable for certain things, a variety. The whole planet going vegan will lead to starvation. The whole planet going keto will lead to starvation. In either case, we would ruin land trying and then the starvation comes. The combo of animals and plants is self sustaining, by design. Mess with the original design too much and you'll get a major breakdown of biological systems.
OMG!!! leave US THE f—K ALONE!!!
I can understand wanting to eat vegetables to avoid slaughtering animals if one is tender-hearted. However, I cannot see avoiding meat and eggs because it is somehow harmful or exploitative to milk cows for milk and cheese and to harvest eggs from chickens.
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.
This would indicate that a Subway Tuna sandwich would be in order.
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.”
Nothing in the Bible says to eat less meat.
However, the Bible does suggest which car to drive.
“Jesus and the disciples were in one Accord.”
Anyone taken a look at what Parliament serves in its dining room?
Meat.
It would be better foe the planet if we ate more ministers (they fart more than cows).
If God didn’t want us to eat meat he wouldn’t have made cows out of steak.
