| Humanity's Meat And Dairy Intake Must Be Halved by 2050 To Avoid Dangerous Climate Change |
| 2018-03-27 |
Call and raise on that stupid steak story from earlier today. [Salon] - In a recent press release on its website, Greenpeace (a renowned health food organization! - ed.) called for a reduction in meat, dairy, and egg consumption. A new report by the organization states that "global meat and dairy production and consumption must be cut in half by 2050 to avoid dangerous climate change." The report also confirms what many health professionals have said for years: Eating meat and dairy raises various health risks, including risk of cancer, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Indeed, calling for such a reduction is vital to the fight against global warming, as animal agriculture is the number-one driver of climate change. |

| #13 If we're not supposed to eat animals, then why are they made of meat? |

| #12 A cow is basically a machine to turn grass into meat and milk. You can cut out the middleman (middlecow?) and eat the grass yourself, but be warned - it's a lot of grass. |

| #11 I usually have a salad and baked potato with my steak, which once ate grass to grow so large and tasty, so I'm a Vegan too |

| #7 They're best contribution to the future of humanity would be to 'off' themselves. Less pressure on the environment and human rate of consumption. Somehow, they never volunteer to do that. |

| #6 If all lefties went vegetarian we'd cut the intakers by roughly half. |

| #5 OK. Kill 1/2 of the intakers. Oh, maybe reduce production by half? |

| #3 Cynical me wonders what are the odds this and the 'burned meat causes cancer' story hit the news the same week. |

| #2 The stupider they talks, the harder I laughs. Climate is controlled by penguin droppings and whale tears. Science settled by consensus. Ifs ya don't agree with me, you'll kill all the baby whatevers, Deniarist. |
