We put more calories into feeding livestock than we get out of it. So if more of the land used for livestock feed was used to grow plants for humans to eat, that could increase the amount of food we have available.

These speakers seem to forget that all our lands were once the homes of many more animals. More pastured animals promotes biodiversity. More harvested fields tends to increase pesticide use, fertilizer use, and habitat destruction. Recall that crude oil is used to fuel and maintain farm machinery, processing plants, and mass produced vegetable oil extraction. Synthetic fertilizers require extensive mining or reliance on the petroleum industry. Factory produced supplements and food products to deliver a fulfilling plant based diet, particularly one with sufficient protein and nutrient absorption as well as necessary minerals and vitamins, could offset any benefit from reducing animal agriculture. Also, pulses have never been more nutritious than animal products; Protease inhibitors and phytic acid alone are troublesome. Be rational about the world you are promoting.

This lady needs more meat. Look at her teeth falling apart and all the other signs of poor health. Plants are inferior to meat. It’s the way we raise meat that matters. It’s the only way we’ll fix this mess we’re in.

@@Ryan-gx4ce exactly! Through fermentation due to how they process the grass we can’t eat, they create amino acids which are ESSENTIAL for human life and which are FAR more bioavailable then plant nutrients. There’s no such thing as essential carbs but there are also essential fats we must consume which are found abundantly in animal foods and in the correct ratios. Stick to plants though please, more meat, fat, and optimal nutrition for me. It’ll still be here for you when you health starts to fail. I might recommend “The Vegetarian Myth” or “Sacred Cow”” as reading material. Changed my outlook from one similar to yours and saved my life. Now I’m trying to use that knowledge to save the world from people like her and the misinformation she spreads. Good luck!
@@YourLifeRedefined you can get those omegas and vitamins in vegetables though. I specifically eat foods for them.

"Synthetic" meat as you call it is made of plants... so not synthetic. But the thing is that these meat replacements have been created for meat eaters who think it's a healthier substitute for meat. It usually isn't. Someone who doesn't eat meat doesn't need for their food to look like meat. You can eat a black bean burger; it doesn't taste like meat, it doesn't look like meat. But it's healthier, it contains a lot of fiber, more iron and more protein than a meat burger. The impact on the planet is a fraction of the one for a "normal" burger. We don't need meat to live. But I think the planet will be on the brink of collapse before we can reduce meat consumption. It's the end of the world to have some people wear a paper mask for ten minutes. You can imagine if they say no more meat...

As long as People like Jeff Besos can order humpback whale sushi and sauteed bald eagle, I'll eat what I want.
So where's the part where she tells us what we should eat, or were you just clickbaiting us?
3 things you need to remember if you want to go full vegan- lentil curry, marinated tofu, and sauteéd chickpeas. Those are the three staples I mostly live on, as well as the ocassional Beyond burger, or Amy's no-cheese pizzas. 4 years vegan, no regrets
I love lentils! My favorite meal atm is coconut lentil curry with crushed pineapple in it, and basmati rice. Been vegan 6 years now, best decision ever! 💚🌱💚
This the argument we can still raise animals for food ridiculous thumbs down Vegan 4Life
I remember when I was a kid and we were supposed to be out of trees by 2000
and new york was supposed to be under 100 feet of water now.
W-w-w-w-well the only reason that prediction didn't come true is because Al Gore stepped up right at the last second and saved us all. 🤪🤪🤪🤪
This lady needs more meat. Look at her teeth falling apart and all the other signs of poor health. Plants are inferior to meat. It’s the way we raise meat that matters. It’s the only way we’ll fix this mess we’re in.
You can get all the nutrients you need from eating plants. When you eat meat, where do you think those nutrients come from that you "can't" get in plants? Those animals are vegetarians. They get everything from plants to start with, the cows are just the middle man
@@Ryan-gx4ce exactly! Through fermentation due to how they process the grass we can’t eat, they create amino acids which are ESSENTIAL for human life and which are FAR more bioavailable then plant nutrients. There’s no such thing as essential carbs but there are also essential fats we must consume which are found abundantly in animal foods and in the correct ratios. Stick to plants though please, more meat, fat, and optimal nutrition for me. It’ll still be here for you when you health starts to fail. I might recommend “The Vegetarian Myth” or “Sacred Cow”” as reading material. Changed my outlook from one similar to yours and saved my life. Now I’m trying to use that knowledge to save the world from people like her and the misinformation she spreads. Good luck!
@@YourLifeRedefined you can get those omegas and vitamins in vegetables though. I specifically eat foods for them. The only thing I have trouble getting naturally are some omegas which are found mostly in fish so I take supplements for that. Otherwise, if there is a specific nutrient I can only get from eating meat I'm all ears.
@@Ryan-gx4ce B12, folate, K2 and many other forms, D3 and may wanna check conversion of ALA to EPA/DHA not to mention iron. Lots of studies show a 20% conversion rate. Usually much much lower. We’re not made to eat plants Ryan. Sorry 😢
No. It cannot
Everything is finite
Indeed, we already use almost 50% of land area free of ice. Even if we change consumption habits to consume as little as possible, still we will be taking too much away from natural ecosystems and that still will be reducing Earth's biodiversity and ability to recover.
Why is discussing stopping population growth such a taboo? It is also an important piece of a puzzle of solving environment crisis
@@KateeAngel well the UN has estimated that we're going to top out at 10 billion people by 2030 I believe is what they said. The UN says after that we are gonna have trouble trying to keep population.
And what are you doing to help the population growth stop. Are you encouraging suicides, out murdering people? Doubt all of that, stop living in fear.
@@joshuacarson6576 it's 2100 but yes 11 billion by 2100 is the population cap. The root of almost all issues on this earth right now are just due to people producing children too much. Stop having kids y'all
@@ZZHawks spoken like somebody who doesn't raise chickens. You're talking about factory farming chickens. Which is way worse. If you have chickens in there in a chicken tractor and you just move that once a day to get enough food for them and they fertilize your grass. Which is good for the environment. And not going to happen my wife n me want 2 more kids. God said go forth and be fruitful. That's want we are doin.
why don't you follow traditional Indian diets for sustainable living and live healthy
Which ones? The Adirondack natives? LOL
Go vegan for Life
thanks but no thanks
No food production could ever "irreversibly harm the planet". Not possible.
For thousand we have been feeding our selfs and now you want us to eat synthetic meat 🥩
"Synthetic" meat as you call it is made of plants... so not synthetic. But the thing is that these meat replacements have been created for meat eaters who think it's a healthier substitute for meat. It usually isn't. Someone who doesn't eat meat doesn't need for their food to look like meat. You can eat a black bean burger; it doesn't taste like meat, it doesn't look like meat. But it's healthier, it contains a lot of fiber, more iron and more protein than a meat burger. The impact on the planet is a fraction of the one for a "normal" burger.
We don't need meat to live. But I think the planet will be on the brink of collapse before we can reduce meat consumption. It's the end of the world to have some people wear a paper mask for ten minutes. You can imagine if they say no more meat...
