One action we can take to reduce our impact on the climate is to stop producing and eating beef.
Scroll down in this article to see the table and charts. Very informative.
I gave up beef & pork years ago. I still eat dairy (mainly yogurt and milk) but as you'll see, dairy production is far less damaging to the environment than beef production.
@ShaneArtBooks Never looked back after "Diet for a Small Planet" in my 20s. I do not understand why we can't learn & change!
@gemswinc Oh, I read that, book too!
Yes, I hope people will discover the very, very many delicious dishes we can make that don't require including body parts of a dead cow in the ingredients.
@ShaneArtBooks After so many years, the thought turns my stomach. Dead, hacked beast. Nah
@gemswinc I spent some time in China. They eat dogs there although this practice is dying out because individual wealth has increased and now people have dogs for pets, not food. In fact, there's an active "don't eat dogs movement."
I began thinking about cows and pigs and dogs in the same category. I won't eat any of them.
@ShaneArtBooks From my limited experience of Chinese tour groups, they will eat anything
@ShaneArtBooks Interesting information, thank you, fills in the blanks of my observations.
