"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.

eat more meat than is healthy

What is considered healthy in your opinion?

As someone who lost 40kg by just eating mostly meat (one year meat for lunch, salami for dinner), I'd argue it's healthier than the stuff that's advertised to be healthy.

wanna build muscle? well, eating pasta and salad every day won't get you very far.

Sure, there are other protein sources, but let's be honest, nothing is more nutritional, efficient (and delicious) than meat.

I think we should really focus on the truely unhealthy shit that's out there in the supermarkets, and not on meat.

You should study up on that vegan body builder, though I'm afraid that I don't recall his name. Remember that when you digest the meat, you are reducing back to its amino acids which your body can put back together into new proteins. The same thing happens when you digest plant matter--you reduce the plant proteins into amino acids which your body then puts back together into its own proteins.

While I'm sure it's possible, the fact that it's "that vegan body builder" instead of the norm should be a clue on how generally effective it is. Personally I don't eat a lot of meat, and of the meat I do eat, most is seafood, but I won't deny that meat is the easiest way to get the nutrients you need. It's also a lot more filling than carbs.

I was actually confused because there’s thousands of vegan body builders
