Externalities of meat consumption: 1. Human health 2. Methane emission 3. Ecosystem degradation 4. Effluent caused poisoning 5. Environmental inequality 6. Deforestation 7. Mono-cropping 8. Heat/cool & transport cost & emissions 9. Food poison/pathogen And more (add below👇🏽)

@urekton @melflower_art This didnt happen so hard it actually unhappened things that really did happen.

@melflower_art While i enjoy this prank very much. I do hate those women that have abortiions 4 times a year and just dont give a shit. There is way to.many of those psychos.

coming out of an abortion clinic and throwing this at protesters

@KennyTorrella @CraftmeatI Also like it to be that guy but did they actually hand explore the independent authors? Not everyone declares equally.

"Just nine percent of independent studies drew positive conclusions about the health impacts of meat – compared to 69 percent of those with industry links."

@Azradok @RndmStreetMedic Plenty of MD professors???

@RndmStreetMedic Damnit Jim I'm a physicist, not a doctor. wait... As a PhD I'm going to disagree. I have a doctorate, but my proper title is Professor. In academics professor properly distinguishes PhD from MD. Maybe it's an exception to the rule, dunno. But it's a lot of the PhD community.

Nobody should be called doctors except PhDs.

@TheLibertyProng @AndyMasley Wow. Stand up comedy tour here

@AndyMasley Those are lagoons. They capture run off and treat manure. Typically pumped to water/fertilize crops. Highly regulated so they don’t pollute water sources. Better and more natural than chemical fertilizers too

I do have my own version of buildings that I think are demonic entities that are creating unbelievable misery and polluting water on the side

@aadityad9 Nature as in “country” is a code. Nature as in old—> traditional—>conservative. But this is symbolic. It’s their form of purity. You can’t have maximum extraction, complete individualism, and natural conservation at the same time.

No one thinks this. It takes an astonishing level of cope to believe this, especially when right wing politicians are constantly trying to pass “vaporize every animal on sight” bills and the “bulldoze every national park” acts

@_eleanorina @TyBealPhD There are commonly used terms which I’ve said multiple times here that differentiate plant foods from “plant based foods” which have a more specific meaning.

@ChefSuziGerber @TyBealPhD are you seriously saying grains shouldn't be grouped together with plant based foods?

New study finds that studies with industry ties were 16 times more likely to report favorable conclusions regarding meat consumption.

@TyBealPhD @_eleanorina Plant based foods, ie alternatives for animal sourced foods are not a large industry in dollars spent. Plant foods (ie commodities & their derivatives) shouldnt be grouped. Theres no reason to combine SSBs with PBF burgers in a group. Describing soda as plant based is misleading.

I’m not talking about minimally processed plant based commodities. I agree they don’t spend nearly as much on lobbying etc as the meat industry. I’m talking about the ultraprocessed food industry. They make some animal products but most are made from plants. Both those and meat industry spend a lot.

@TyBealPhD @_eleanorina You’re also acting like meat industry doesn’t include massive multinationals.

@ChefSuziGerber @_eleanorina Surely you are not saying the meat industry spends more money than multinational companies like Nestle, PepsiCo, and Unilever? Most of the foods in those companies are made from plants. The dominant products from the meat industry are not ultra-processed.

@_eleanorina @TyBealPhD Ah yes, those deep plant based pockets…

@TyBealPhD now do COI with bigfood, big pharma and pro-plant based

@Alexleaf @drmatthewnagra Seems like his colleagues are really his subject. If the reactions of people hearing your questions are the signal of importance then that’s the phenomenon of discovery 🤷🏽‍♀️

This methodological limitation of Nick's recent case study must be an important question given his defensive and mocking reply.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Neil Degrasse Tyson is a hack. He loves to spout off about things he knows nothing about. I’m not a physicist, I don’t speak about it. But he will talk about food production like he knows. Wisdom is knowing what you don’t know.

@jevonduve So just destroy national preserves for an ever increasing and unnecessary volume of meat to be produced? We used to produce way less meat, amidst all this US golden age of healthier food systems we never seem to want to scale back on this one highly resource intensive thing.

this is literally “meat isn’t the problem, factory farming is the problem” put into practice. i’m confused why nonvegans are libbing out in the comments just because trump’s face is there, when this is exactly their position on how meat should be produced.

@max_spero_ Are these traits conferring marginal utility? Why would they confer additional utility beyond cultivated if the goods are the same? why is that a fopl comparator? Also none of these man livestock animals are wild animals…fewer of them is the alternative not wilding them

Can anyone explain to me why we don’t have ethical meat? Surely we can give the farm animal a significantly better life than it would have lived in the wild.

@hashketchum420 @KennyTorrella @CraftmeatI All I’m saying is they are cute. I also don’t eat them but boy are they snuggly and sweet too.

@ChefSuziGerber @KennyTorrella @CraftmeatI i mean you can find them cute and not love them ! i don't really care about a random animal (including stranger humans on the street) but that doesn't give me the right to eat them...

To turn the Billie Eilish quote on its head: You don't need to love animals to be vegan (or eat fewer animals, or advocate for them). A lot of animal advocates I've met don't even find farmed animals lovable, cute, or charming. They just think causing them harm is bad.

@jan_dutkiewicz @Marijn3D Ty, if you see this, and i know you will, show me where in the 1st world food choices (where nutrition security is a lower concern & emissions are highest) the a emissions agenda hurt you. Also, i agree, why focus only on GHGs when water/land contamination & forced labor are too

@jan_dutkiewicz @Marijn3D So close to my actual response in real time when I saw Ty post that this morning. I had to hold myself back from asking him who hurt him.

I regret to inform you that the absolute worst people in food academia have teamed up to write a truly cynical screed against meat reduction.

@jan_dutkiewicz In unrelated news when are we forming our counter cabal?
