    We need to stop eating beef. The fact that no one thinks that if they stop eating beef they won’t have any effect is disturbing as fuck. If everyone stops eating beef then the industry will collapse.

    The fact that I don’t see this graph more often is annoying, I hate having to keep bringing this up, someone else share this for fucks sake please.

      Seriously. Animal agriculture needs to end and not exist whether we live in a capitalist dystopia or communist utopia, for the environment and for the sake of all sentient beings

        The fact that you and I got downvotes just speaks massive volumes. We might not make it as a species because we have so many individuals who think it doesn’t matter either way. WE ALL PLAY A FUCKING ROLE, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE TIME.

      If the people that exclusively eat meat just reduces to a few times a week would do wonders.

      Also concerning how many tons of beef products I’ve tossed due to mold in food production. Large-scale manufacturing has so many holes we could fill if only it was profitable for the companies to do so.

      I only eat Chicken and meat substitutes like Beyond meat. The problem is that greenhouses also produce a worrying amount of carbon and ramping that up could have similar effects.

        I think you misunderstood this graph. This is per kilogram of food product. It has nothing to do with scale, it’s a ratio.

          I think you misunderstood my comment. I’m saying that as we transition away from meat products into meat substitutes, actual greenhouses will start producing more carbon emissions and simply replace the beef industry rather than amend it entirely. The systems used to regulate greenhouses are unfortunately contributing to the problem they were meant to solve.
