I really was puzzled by "Debate 2.0: Meat or the climate? Pick one!" but in a good way. This article by Brendan Barret poses a question to the reader about their diet. It talks about our diets affecting global warming: specifically eating meat.
The opening statement of the article reads "Meat free Mondays has to be the way to go. Former Beatle Paul McCartney backs it. Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, advocates it."This previous statement, is first backed and then questioned. Some health ministers do not believe that our meaty diets affect climate change enough to matter, but others say that cutting out meat would have a great affect. They specifically link an article called Livestock's Long Shadow, which suggests that 18% of our greenhouse gases come from meat production.
This is all very interesting to me, and I personally am all for "meat free Mondays," but it seems like quite a difficult task! I'd definitely like to see how it is advocated.
Haha, this is super interesting! Being Catholic I've had my fair share of meat-free Fridays so maybe i ought to start making it a year round habit!
ReplyDeleteLast year when I came to school meat was just to expensive to buy, but I still usually ate it once a day! So when a few days would pass without it, I would think about it and crave it, but now I can go a week without it and hardly notice!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! Love the concept!!
