It’s from what i know still greener than all that vegan stuff
(Disclaimer I’m not against Vegan products and rely on them as I can’t eat anything dairy)
I wonder what’s greener. 1. Eating steak or 2. giving birth to a child, raising it to adulthood on a steak diet and then eating them.
I mean it doesn’t really matter either way because it’s really a moral issue, but there’s no way anyone thinks it takes more resources to grow crops than it does to breed entire animals
Plant-based foods have a significantly smaller footprint on the environment than animal-based foods. Even the least sustainable vegetables and cereals cause less environmental harm than the lowest impact meat and dairy products [9].
If I source my beef or lamb from low-impact producers, could they have a lower footprint than plant-based alternatives?
The evidence suggests, no: plant-based foods emit fewer greenhouse gases than meat and dairy, regardless of how they are produced.
[…]
Plant-based protein sources – tofu, beans, peas and nuts – have the lowest carbon footprint. This is certainly true when you compare average emissions. But it’s still true when you compare the extremes: there’s not much overlap in emissions between the worst producers of plant proteins, and the best producers of meat and dairy.
