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.
Mr teach typed:
We understand how that type of ‘thinking’ is comforting, but it’s not true.
Are you eating alternative foods Mr. Dowd.
I know you can google me up a list of what you are eating but since you are a hunter, as you claim to be, I surmise that you are one of the elites that preach from the pulpit but do not follow your own advice.
We understand that in essence this is a bug addiction. To which 8 billion people consuming bugs for a diet will destroy the planets ecosystem to prevent the planet from becoming warm. China fuked with nature by killing all the birds in its country and a famine ensued because the birds also killed bugs that were eating the crops.
Japan introduced mongooses to an island filled with deadly snakes. It was a great Idea. Unfortunately the snakes are night owls and the mongooses sleep at night. Hence the island is now totally over run with snakes and mongooses.
When you fuk with nature, you get a fuked up ecosystem. In this case the purveyors of this trash idea are wanting to FARM alternative food for 8 billion people while simultaneously getting RID OF FOSSIL FUELS which power said massive machinery that gets this food out of the ground to market and to peoples mouths.
Everything about the lefts anti-human being agenda is fuked up from start to finish and poorly thought out and would be horrendously enacted. One only has to look at every blue city in the USA and around the world to see how leftists can manage anything let alone feeding the planet.
I eat every steer I shoot. I give away venison to friends. Catch and release largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky bass (spotted bass), striped bass, rainbow, brown trout, drum, catfish – pike, walleye, lake trout (Canada) – snook, sea trout, reds, bonefish, crevalle jack (Gulf of Mexico)… we did keep some sea trout to eat and they were delicious!
Veganism is inherently unhealthy. Humans didn’t evolve to take cobalamin supplements!!
We eat squirrel, rabbit, quail, timber rattler, turkey, duck, geese (yuck)… but not insects.
I eat a burger about once a week.
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.

Hardly historical prices. The chart for the past 10 years shows that Beef was at its 10 year high in October 2024 under Biden.
HOWEVER……
There is this GIANT PROPOGANDA PIECE by BING at the top of the page when you search for historical beef prices…. “””Over the past month, Beef’s price has fallen 6.88%, but it is still 26.81% higher than a year ago, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Beef – values, historical data, forecasts and news – updated …”””
IF THIS IS WHERE YOU GET YOUR NEWS it is no wonder why the American voter is the dumbest person and most ill informed person on the planet.
Does anyone really even understand the MUMBO JUMBO that they installed in this HIGHLIGHTED TOP OF THE PAGE PARAGRAPH. The only thing the most common of people would understand is OMG….BEEF IS 26.81 percent HIGHER THAN A YEAR AGO. So they read the rest, haven’t a clue what it means but leave understanding one thing…………BEEF IS UP 26.81 percent!!!!!!!!!!
Anecdotally I was paying 7.95 for a pound of hamburger in 2023. Today that price for me is 4.85-5.25 per pound. I shop at the local base commissary. Walmart’s prces are about 10-15 percent higher mainly due to mark up and not to the actual price of beef.
FYI…….in the above BING information they are discussing a CFD and not the price of BEEF.
A contract for difference (CFD) is a financial contract that pays the difference in the settlement price between the open and closing trades.
CFDs allow investors to trade the direction of securities over the very short term…..HAS NOTHING to do with the actual price of an item.
Around here, much of the land that was planted with corn last year is planted with soybeans; mine is. You can see our soybean fields here. From the perspective of the visible road, the fields on the right are mine, and on the left belong to the local veterinarian.
Part of it is crop rotation: our fields were planted with corn last year, but another part was the extremely wet spring which significantly delayed planting. The soybeans you can see in that picture, dated 12 days ago, are already much bigger.
Since USAID is being dismantled by President Trump don’t think these guys will go hungry.
Poor babies.
Bwaha! Lolgf!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
