Do you think cows are bad for the Earth?
Would it surprise you to know there are fewer cows today than in 1960? Red meat consumption is actually down, and this trend goes back more than a hundred years.
Scientists have been using every argument in the book to get us off meat, and they've been very successful in pushing industrial substitutes. They even convinced us to eat transfat for a while. But the science was never really there. We're seeing a resurgence of whole milk instead of skim, and diets like paleo that emphasize meat. You would think scientists could embrace evolution. Nope. Not when their real job seems to be to serve as the propaganda arm of the biotech industry, pushing the latest and greatest pesticide resistant tofu burger on liberal soy boys.
Cows enrich the soil, with manure. Grazing actually even sequesters carbon dioxide, not that that matters. We're talking about getting rid of animals which means replacing them with synthetic fertilizers and other petro-chemical intensive farming methods. Who cares about carbon dioxide? Monocrop agriculture is a wasteland, the worst invention of human history. Everything we eat is already made out of a mixture of wheat flour, corn syrup, and soybean oil. Those are literally the top 3 most consumed foods by calories. Why do you think we're fat?
Nobody is even serious about getting rid of cows anyway. They just want to make it artificially expensive so no one can afford it except rich people. It's the same story over and over. They say they support gun control, but it's only for you and never for some celebrity's private security guards. That's all this is, nothing to do with warm weather.
