Scientists demand cancer warnings on bacon and ham sold in UK @guardian “Successive governments criticised for doing ‘virtually nothing’ to reduce risk in decade since cancer link found” theguardian.com/society/2025/o…

'There has to be a considerable reduction in meat consumption...otherwise, we're just not going to be keeping within our planetary boundaries.' @oxmartinschool and @OxPrimaryCare's Prof Peter Scarborough shares his message for #WorldFoodDay:

Two findings published in 2020 suggest that longevity is associated with either increasing plant protein consumption or replacing animal proteins, especially red meat and eggs, with plant protein: bit.ly/3j4F2iZ #HarvardHealth

Beef and lamb have been removed from the University's menu and the number of #vegetarian and #vegan options increased. The result? A big drop in carbon emissions – without losing any customers. #NoBeef #climateaction bit.ly/2Ln2N5m

If we ended industrial animal agriculture, there'd suddenly be more than enough food for everyone, we'd essentially end animal cruelty, no one would die, and we'd take a huge bite out of the climate and ecological emergency. We could do this basically overnight.

According to the University of Oxford: Going #Vegan is the single biggest thing anyone of us can do to halt #climatechange, reverse deforestation, preserve biodiversity, stop species loss and save the Planet. #climatecrisis #climateemergency #deforestation independent.co.uk/life-style/hea…

If you want to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet, less meat is nearly always better than sustainable meat.

The latest Red List of endangered species worldwide lists no fewer than 48,646 species which are now facing extinction. This is higher than at any time in human history.

A leaked document has just revealed how the meat industry helped manufacture the backlash against one of the most important food and climate reports ever published.

Businesses face extinction unless they protect nature, major report warns bbc.in/3ZZtimK

Superbugs resistant to antibiotics are rising fast. I tested water at Lough Neagh (40% of Northern Ireland’s drinking water) & found high levels of antibiotic-resistant genes from human & livestock poo. If we treat waters like sewers, this is what we get. theguardian.com/environment/20…

If you want to reduce emissions, ignore plastic packaging and food miles: almost all food emissions come from production. Reducing meat will do far more than anything else.

What is your first thought when you open this fridge?

Fruit as healthy snack: Keep fresh fruit handy at work and at home to help you reach for a healthy snack instead of chips or cookies. #HarvardHealth #TipoftheDay buff.ly/PA6Pisa

*Half* of the food produced in the world each year is not consumed by people. Croplands already produce enough calories to support about 14.5 billion people, nearly double today’s population. But half is lost to feed for factory farmed livestock, biofuels, or lost throughout the supply chain. [In America the figure is a truly grotesque 77% of food not consumed by people.] And we're told that rewilding marginal land poses a threat to food security! oneearth.org/half-the-world…
