Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Beef

[MikePal]

This is becoming a troubling conversion that is popping up far to often with the Climate Change Numpties. Banning beef products to conquer the GHG emissions.

It's even one of the items listed in the 'Great Reset' manifesto. Limiting the beef we eat.

So far they have suffered a huge setback as almost all fast food chain restaurants failed miserably introducing their Plant Based Burgers. Hopefully that craze had died a swift death.

The question for Canadians is how much beef do people need to cut down on to make an impact on greenhouse gas emissions?

Researcher Jim Dyer set out to answer this question in a report last year for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The Cambridge, Ont.-based consultant has worked for the federal government in the past and studies the environmental impact of raising livestock.

The study, aimed at the livestock industry, modelled scenarios where Canadians tweaked their meat consumption without reducing their overall protein intake or cutting out any meat completely.

The modelling found that if red meat consumption dropped 25 per cent — in line with medical recommendations — and was one-quarter beef, three-quarters pork, Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock sector dropped 10.7 per cent. (The study assumed that any drop in red-meat consumption was replaced with chicken.)

"Given the very high GHG emission intensity of beef, it should not be surprising that this analysis found that diversifying Canadian protein intake away from beef to be such an attractive option for lowering the GHG emission budget of the Canadian agriculture sector," the report said.

honestly recently burgers bought from the store and steaks have tasted really off to me lately.

not sure if its just me or not. on a side note i havent tried those veggie/ plant based burgers at all.

my mom buys veggie burgers because she enjoys them. not because of the green house gas controversy haha.

What a lot of people don't realize is that these fake meat products are high in salt/sodium.

Hopefully the nut bars will scarf down everything but beef. Then the price comes down for me.

So what do these nut bars think will happen to all these animals if we don’t eat them.
I love meat and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
We should all support A&W grass fed beef burgers, we had them last week and they taste great.

Well, I accidentally tried some of that "beyond meat" stuff when it was starting out, I can tell you first hand that no herd of cows will put out that much CO!

Grass fed is better fed, for sure however the claim that beef is raising emissions is a total joke. The great plains are nearly void of Bison and the other large animals that called them home, the cattle just take their place.

I will still be eating beef but I must admit we eat far more wild game than beef anyhow. I will have 3 of my own cows next year along with some pigs and chickens. Wild game will finish off the annual protein intake and I shouldn't have to buy a stitch of meat.

Bill Gates want all the rich nations to move to synthetic and lab grown meats.

I'm not interested in it lol. They will try anything to blame global warming lol.

X2- we can go back to( LESSON NOT LEARNED) fat!
To much fat is being consumed,makes North America obese,lets go Light,LowFat and Nofat.

And then 25 years later-when the number of obese ppl tripled in NA (sugar replaced fat)then we say: WOW ,what happened????

Circle of "stupidity"



I like beef too-but mind You,it drives me crazy,when all those Youtubers(survivalists ,homesteaders or adventurers alike )eat out in the bush.
Great many of them makes steak for supper....what the heck!!!!

One of the reasons Bill Gates is the single biggest farm land owner in the USA.

And very highly processed food, something we've been told to avoid for decades.
