Who says eating meat is bad for the climate?
Commentary
The phrase “never judge a book by its cover” rang true for me a couple of weeks ago when I received a release from a professor at a school of agriculture at a well-known state university.
The gist of the release is that due to tough economic times, the state of the global climate, or an expanding waistline, you might want to consider ramping up the amount of beans in your diet.
Instead of simply promoting adding beans to a balanced diet, this professor suggests we give up meat – specifically beef – in our diet.
If you choose vegetarianism, I am not going to judge you. It is your personal choice. But suggesting that ceasing to eat meat – especially considering all of the efficiencies of modern livestock production – would be better for the environment, is simply not true.
