"Fortunately, we know many ways we can make the food system more resilient while reducing food emissions. The biggest opportunity in high-income nations is a reduction in meat consumption and exploration of more plants in our diets," said Dr. Paul Behrens, an associate professor of environmental change at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

Honestly, most people in the modern West eat more meat than is healthy anyway.

Turns out hunter-gatherers haven't evolved to eat meat every meal, three meals a day, all their lives.

You guys eating meat for breakfast or something?

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 41 points 9 months ago

Sausage, bacon, or ham are fairly standard

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago

I don't know why, but I was picturing meat in cereal. Bacon is life

[-] meleethecat@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

No one is stopping you from putting bacon in your cereal.

Bdya-bdya-bdya-That's gross folks!

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Cereal is more of a dessert in my books. I'm very much a savoury breakfast person.

[-] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Breakfast steak is the most important steak of the day

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

That and bread, yes.

That's because the general population tried to imitate the rich when the standard of living increased, and the rich in general loved to hunt and eat lots of meat.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I am not biting into a mouthwatering slab of beef to imitate the rich.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You missed the part in the comment about how it was your ancestors that started the trend.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I didn't, I disregarded it. Tell me the name of a MY ancestor who started that trend and where they were born.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

What a strange assertion to make as if you and your predecessors somehow remained separate from everyone else.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
[-] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

No, you are making a low effort attempt at a troll and not really hitting the mark.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
[-] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

No, you’ve shown that on your own and you can’t sov cit your way out of it.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Exactly. You should really be eating a lot of roots, nuts, leaves, and berries then occasionally catch something that can run from you.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Said no one ever before 1900.

You people are so goddamn spoiled and you have no clue.

Eating meat is the only way our species has survived and now that we've evolved past it you act like it was never even a factor.

There's a reason tribes move with animal herds and not due to which berries are in season.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Yes yes, fire and meat. That works fine when you’re a roving tribe and humans number in the hundred thousand range. That destroys the planet when you live in houses and there will be 10 billion by the year 2050. But go on.

to be fair they only had to work four to six hours a day so they needed less calories

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Honestly, most people in the modern West eat more meat than is healthy anyway.

Visit non-India Asia and get back to me. I don't know how anyone can be vegetarian there just as a general practice.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Isn't 90% of street food in Asia just some random meat on a stick?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

In my experience yes. I can't describe the joy of the experience of being baked out of your mind buying way too much meat on a stick, going a stand over to get a thing of sticky rice in a bag, then the next stand a bubble tea, and finally devouring it on a random folding chair with a crate as a table.
