Can we all, in view of new 'dire warnings' not consider helping the greenhouse gasses situation by just cutting down a little on the volume of red meat we consume every week? Or switch to other red meat from smaller animals? Or eat a 'veggie' meal-even just once a week?
How long before people are rubbing shoulders with the very meat they want to eat?
"Livestock now use 30 per cent of the earth’s entire land surface, mostly permanent pasture but also including 33 per cent of the global arable land used to producing feed for livestock, the report notes. As forests are cleared to create new pastures, it is a major driver of deforestation, especially in Latin America where, for example, some 70 per cent of former forests in the Amazon have been turned over to grazing."
