[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to bring anyone down, but [b]there’s still a huge environmental toll with “sustainably raised meat.” They still kill the animal. [/b]Beans, if cooked properly, don’t make you have more gas than anything else.

The point is, it’s one thing people can do to make a difference. But like anything else, it takes a commitment to change. You have to enjoy cooking, but I already do.

I wanted to be a voice to say to people, if you’re curious, it’s worth it. You will get pushback from people who still want to eat meat and dairy, but I don’t think that should stop you. If anything, it makes me realize it touches a nerve.[/quote]
That’s not an environmental toll.

And regenerative farming - dependent on ruminants - is absolutely one of the things that can save the earth.

I agree with the PP who said that there comes a point when some of this stuff is just silliness. It is corporate behemoths that pour 71% of the carbon into the air and the rest of us are just nibbling at the edges. I will not ever willingly go vegan. I already appear to have some sort of malabsorption issue (I don’t know if it’s MTHFR as I haven’t been tested) plus I have ulcers; I cannot write off entire groups of food. But I am the main food purchaser and meal planner/preparer in my family and I do try to serve vegetarian meals several times a week as well as minimize driving and air travel, recycling, no fast fashion, buying as little as possible and the thing that will last the longest, shrinking our turf and we don’t use lawn chemicals, we compost, etc… It just feels pointless. The right thing to do, but ultimately pointless when these corporations and boneheaded humans are just ruining the earth. [/quote]

Regenerative farming dependent on ruminants is the way.

Everyone here should read The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith.  We need the cycles of animals regenerating the soil to keep the earth healthy.  It's the circle of life. Death is part of it.
