To think we should all eat less meat & dairy

[grumiosmum]

... because of the climate crisis (as well as our health)

Important new report out today: www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-49238749

I doubt any of the spreads you had a child were vegan, nearly all the vegan spreads are new. The Flora one has been on the market less than a year. Plant based food has improved a lot lately.

I cracked it 😂
Biggest problem with cows is their... Gassiness. The release of methan.
We should add some activated charcoal to their diet.
It helped me😂

I am of course joking (a bit)
No matter how serious this all is, the thought that it's cows farts (amongst other things) which are slowly killing us is making me giggle...
I did hear that you are 20x more likely to be killed by a cow rather than shark, I guess they just never specified the ways cows kill people🙈

@mindproject they may taste better, but as I said. If I have a choice I will not be buying something with palm oil in it, amongst other things. Rather go for UK butter.

I won't be eating anything with any seed oils in, so margarines and spreads are totally out for me. Only butter and tallow/lard for me (and a bit of EV olive oil for bolognese). I also boycott all food with palm oil because of habitat loss in SE Asia.

The vote on this is interesting.

Plant based eating suits me, so have been going that way anyway.

I get why vegan diet suits some people, but as someone who doesn't eat meet every day, I still like it and want to have it. When we tried quark, DH ended up throwing up half a day. And just looking at products like for example "vegan steak" makes me nervous because of the number of ingredients in it. Tesco vegan steak has 18.
I like my food simple. For example steak, with veg (some of it grown) and some carb. Add bit of spices and that's it.

I do sometimes wonder what is a total carbon footprint of vegan alternatives like the steak. Like all ingredients combined from start to consumer.
