Here we go again
Alternative Proteins May Be Our Best Bet to Curb Food Emissions
To avoid the grimmest possible predictions for climate change, the world must rapidly cut back on how much meat — especially beef — we eat. A new study published in Scientific Reports finds that replacing meat and dairy with climate-friendlier alternatives, such as plant-based proteins and cultivated meat, could significantly reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions. But the window to act is narrowing fast. Delays, researchers say, could require a much more drastic overhaul of diets by 2050.
In a paper published on July 2, researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz and the consulting firm Accenture suggested that to keep the food system from wrecking the planet, 60 percent of animal-based foods would need to be swapped for plant-based or cultivated alternatives by 2050 — but only if the transition towards a more plant-forward food system began before 2023.
Other researchers have pointed to a more moderate approach to stay within climate limits, such as reducing beef consumption to no more than one beef burger and a half per week in the Global North, for example. But the research suggesting the more moderate approach is now several years old, and researchers assumed some progress on dietary change that we have yet to see in most countries that eat lots of meat.
I mean, fuck off. Fuck right off. Remember, though, they put out these “studies” in order to sway lawmakers in an attempt to force Other People to comply.
Meanwhile, yesterday was “Earth overshoot day”
Who is paying researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, to come up with this sh*t? Would they say just the opposite if someone offered them $50 more?
Since MAGAts believe that “winning” at any and all costs is justified, they naively assume all others are dishonest, too.

We understand how that type of ‘thinking’ is comforting, but it’s not true.
You will eat bugs,
And you will be…HAPPY!
Maybe the soy farmers are paying them ???? through their lobbyists
Beef prices have gone up to new records under Trump
Cattle numbers are down to new record lows
Soybean farmers are paying for those studies. Force feeding our nation’s youth. It is a giant conspiracy! ????????????
Ask Dana
And according to the Donald, gas prices are now at $1.99!! Except where I live where they’re $2.89 and up. We need to move.
Since USAID is being dismantled by President Trump don’t think these guys will go hungry.
Poor babies.
Bwaha! Lolgf!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
