  • Meat consumption harms the planet

    There are enormous implications resulting from the mass intake of meat products by the American population, such as the fact that it takes 10 times as more soil to produce meat protein as it does related quantities of protein from vegetables. We're too seeing the clear-cutting of rainfall forests, in the Amazon particularly, in decree to produce grazing soil for oxen.
    The resolution to consume meat is not an exclusively private resolution. It doesn't just impact you. It really affects the planet. The much meat you eat, the much soil is used for meat breeding and harvesting. In the lawsuit of the Amazon rainforest, it means there's little soil accessible to back normal rainfall woodland habitat, which is, of class, significant for the oxygen output of the whole planet. So, in a really comprehensible manner, the mass intake of crimson meat around this planet really affects the mood of the planet. Global mood difference is one position effects of big meat intake.
    If we were to switch over to a system of generating artificial meat, then the climate effect of this meat production would be drastically reduced. There still may be some industrial runoff or some kind of post-production chemicals that need to be dealt with after creating artificial meat, but undoubtedly these would be far less harmful to the planet than the clear-cutting of rain forest, injecting cows with hormones and antibiotics and raising crops with pesticides so that cows can be fed in a very inefficient food production system.
    So artificial meat, even though it may sound strange, could actually be better for the planet if people continue to consume meat. Now what would be best for the planet -- and actually best for the health of individuals, families and entire nations -- would be of course to move away from a meat-centered diet. If we could get people to eat half the meat they currently consume, we would see far lower rates of heart disease, all varieties of cancers, and less obesity as well. Even though the long-term solution is to move to a plant-based diet, as a civilization, a short-term solution could include artificial meat.
