Some consumers may choose veganism, or a pescatarian diet, but meat, eggs and milk, offer crucial sources of much-needed nutrients which cannot easily be obtained from plant-based foods, a new report issued on Tuesday by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization says.
i mean everyone eating meat is straight up unsustainable given how many people we have on Earth.
Everyone eating as much meat as your typical westoid is unsustainable. A more moderate consumption could be possible though.
yea I think eating a Chinese amount of meat is fairly sustainable. High pork consumption, low beef consumption.
Nope. The extra trophic levels make it inherently unsustainable
i think the chinese government disagrees lol seeing as they are trying to reduce peoples meat consumption by 50%.
It's unsustainable, but more importantly here, it's entirely unnecessary. Meat, eggs, and milk are NOT essential sources of nutrients. You can get the same nutrient necessities from non-animal food sources and be healthier for it.
Yeah but this is one of those sticky subjects because of cultural issues and the basically nonstop history of human cuisine being intertwined with meat eating. As far as I know, no society has ever been vegan. There have been pockets of vegetarianism but nothing all the way vegan. The only solution I see is some kind of lab grown meat/milk/eggs. Then maybe in the future people can go vegetarian or vegan if they choose.
