  1. In an ideal world there wouldn't be people that intentionally harmed the environment

    Burning fuel, #AirPollution, & farming animals, #MeatEating, are the biggest causes of #ClimateChange & biodiversity loss, #Extinction

    Two main (big) problem social groups. The "industry" that seeks to make profits from the ecologically degrading activities. And the consumer that *wants* to use fuel using tech (e.g., vehicles) & eat meat (beef being the worse food for the environment)

    What to do about them?

  2. U.S. dietary guidelines should emphasize #beans and #lentils as protein, new proposal says

    The report, from an advisory committee to the #USDA, also suggests encouraging people to reduce their intake of #SugaryDrinks and sodium and eat more whole grains.

  4. I've been saying this for a long time. If we are going to eat meat (especially beef), it should be expensive and a special treat -- not an everyday occurrence!

    The End of the #CheapBurger

    #FastFood chains might be dangling deals, but #MeatEaters better prepare for a new, more expensive era for America’s favorite food.

    "Most of us remember 2020 for the pandemic, but ranchers will also remember it for the severe drought. When pasture for herds to graze grows harder to come by, ranchers send animals to slaughter without replacing them, shrinking herds and sending prices up. 2024’s rainfall has been better, but parts of the country are still not out of the woods. Even as the costs of feed for cattle has declined, higher interest rates and operating expenses have meant that it’s still too pricey for most ranchers to get back to growing their herds, or 'rebuilding' them, in industry parlance. So the number of cattle continues to fall, and the price of beef will continue to rise."

  5. Hey #Mastodon
    Do you ever struggle with making difficult decisions? It's common to feel ambivalent when weighing the pros and cons of an issue, and then feel dissonant after taking a stance that contradicts your self-relevant attitudes. We shed light on the interactions between these two types of conflict in our newest preprint by looking at meat consumption as a case example. Check out the preprint here: psyarxiv.com/5k9as/

    We're not big supporters of #meatEating. It'd be great for many, including in terms of #publicHealth, if we were somehow limited in our #meat intake.

    We're quite sure that if we stopped bombing far flung places, incl' staging #coups that destabilise, there'd be no #slaveLabour on our shores in the #massProduction of #meatProducts at #abattoirs.
