Beans for me.
***Producing beef, for example, uses 20 times the land and emits 20 times the emissions as producing beans***
But not all land is suitable for growing beans. Lots of rocky, hilly, un-irrigated lands that are used for beef.
Right now, near here is a great field with no rocks, good deep soil that has been used for rotating crops from grass, beans,hay, beans. In two years the major crop will be 50 houses as more is to be made by developing the land than farming it.
This is why we need communism: in the early years following the 1917 revolution, the USSR successfully cut their herds of ruminant livestock by over 50%.
Escalating poverty isn’t a bug in socialism, it’s a FEATURE!
As economic freedom advanced in developing countries over the past fifty years, the fraction of earth’s human population living in extreme poverty (less than $2/day in constant 1985 $ Bourguignon and Morrison, World Bank) was reduced from about 57% to 21%. Something must be done to reverse that trend, and socialism has a proven track record!
You’r gonna eat grass and you’re gonna like it!
This entire madness is total bullhockey. Tell me how much a dinosaur caused toward “global warming” for example. TREX surely out-performed a cow.
Vegans we are not.
I will pick up ground beef today to make a big crockpot of chili.... 8 quarts. I will start that chili on Sunday & brew it for 3 days so it will be PERFECT for watching election returns Tuesday night. Extra will go into freezer.
Garlic bread & a frozen Key Lime pie will be the rest of the menu. Now I have made myself hungry.
This author has never seen the haze over Pacoima with their refried beans.
Experts-—Politicians-—and City people don’t know the difference between tillable land & pasture land. They only know that “Milk comes from Safeway”.
Yep.
Well, we might but the problems is that much of the land is not suitable for growing food crops.
Not enough water, not enough fertile enough and the energy required to do the farming would be huge. It would require a great deal of oil.
And without animals to give fertilizer we would have to depend on mined chemicals and that is really a finite resource.
humans eating a diet of dirt would probably have the most salutatory effect on “global warming” ...
“Thanks for the reminder... need to pick up ribeyes.”
i’m grilling burgers tonight ...
