on Monday, looks at the economics of the meat industry as well as the cost and benefits to our bodies, societies and changing climate, concluding that there should be a significant reduction in how much meat we consume as a planet.
Cows are the biggest producer of greenhouse gas emissions of all livestock, producing more than ten times the amount of emissions per kg of product than the production of rice does, according to the study. “From a mere climate perspective, vegetarian diets would be preferred over meat-based diets,” the study acknowledged.
The study also pointed out that meat produced in “extensive grazing systems” have a much lower water footprint than meat produced in “intensive meat production systems,” or factory farming operations where large numbers of livestock are crowded into indoor facilities for the duration of their lives. Livestock is responsible for around 40 per cent of the total agricultural production value, the study stated, with around 1.3 billion people employed in these production chains.
Efforts to reduce global meat consumption should take into account the socioeconomic benefits of raising livestock in low-income areas, researchers said, and instead target factory farming.
Fake news fake global worming
Soon it will be 100% and they will convince you to eat bugs.
No.
No thanks, climate change is fine with me
Guess we're supposed to switch to GMO meat juice or whatever the hell their calling it now...
elonmusk pretty sure this account is a bot......
I don't think people are going to give up meat. Hopefully the lab meat gets more popular.
If plant based meat options continue to improve and are affordable to the general public then, I could see this as a reality.
^^^ This report is propaganda for the manufactured food crisis. The attempt is to persuade you into accepting a lower quality of life.
That's ridiculous! What about the millions and millions of humans farting their gases? What do we do with the humans ? Human gases far exceed our animals!!! They need to get a grip, who are these idiots that get paid to come up with this kind of BS
Climate has changed before and it will again; adapt or die!
birth control would help too...
That's not going to happen.
Fuckuffffff
Bs
Less than 40 Million people in Canada in world of 7.9 BILLION. We could all start the celery diet tomorrow and it would not make a lick of difference. Not. One. Bit.
Why do that when Trudeau has already said food shortages? Weird? 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
I thought the carbon tax was going to fix everything
Parents need to teach their kids and keep teaching them at the BQ the media is full of shit.
No thanks
You probably get a higher percentage just on food waste alone in the landfills
The last time I ate animal flesh was 1997. Doing my part already!!!
I haven't eaten meat in many years after watching 'What the Health'. Now please stop making me get my cars inspected for emissions.
🖕🏿
Although reducing the consumption of meat and animal-based products globally could lower greenhouse gas emissions, it could also have adverse impacts on people’s health and nutrition in some countries- Global Environmental Change journal
The comments in here say so much about our society.
or the use of carbon fuels 🤦
Eat the rich to tackle climate change.
Are you people crazy?
And have 100% more unhealthy ppl.. Did big pharma and big food pay for this study...hint ... yesssss
Are we biologically evolving from OMNIVORES into HERBIVORES? Are we cruel to animals & exploiting our planet - because we eat meat ... or because ... - we believe in things we can't prove and - we value things we don't understand?
No way. We love meat
CTV rather you eat bugs...
Is this an article of the onion?
Why don't we plant hemp that would solve about 75 percent of out problems
🤡💩😆🖕🖕🏻🖕🏾🖕🏿🖕🏼🖕🖕🏻🖕🏾 f'== your study
NASA built a rover that converts carbon dioxide (CO2 greenhouse gas) into oxygen (for astronauts) and carbon (for rocket fuel). If we can do that on another planet then the technology to clean our atmosphere ALREADY EXISTS. Start building it.
polotov_asia you better promote us to eat your living dead meat You are just the most evil soul on this earth since God created
This is the nonsense from self proclaimed experts 🤮tax the farmers and poor communities?. Teach kids in schools to not eat meat? Create large factories? Shove this crap study where the sun don’t shine
Hmmm has anyone looked at the wild life population lately, reducing or not eating beef is a small part of the problem, should we eliminate wildlife? Then there is the human population, how much gas is passed every day, should we eliminate homo sapiens. Where do we stop, stupid
BS
This common sense statement should get all the fatties charged up.
The study is absolutely ridiculous
How u lost ur damn mind?
This is why we must eat bugs and plants! It’s healthy and it’s science.
Epic fossil fuel and military industrial complex funded article.
😂
Better for your health and better for your wallet too.
Less than 40 million Canadians. We could all go on a celery diet tomorrow and it wouldn't move the needle on climate change
The way the prices are going we won’t be eating any meat pretty soon! 🤣🤣🤣
Nope.
or the the rich could make some changes too
Guys rate my nude photos)
Some, well some really can’t stay alive even a day without consuming meat 😆🥲😂😅
Free range farms are good for the environment and human health. Support your local farmer!
Long overdue, but surprisingly, even in developed countries like Canada, the mindset isn't there yet. Either stop selling meat, or I crease the price significantly, so people addicted to meat still have an option
How about we cut your funding at the public trough
The biggest bs I've ever heard
Do climate proponents ever read beyond the summary?
If you’re cutting down meat consumption please send your share to me, I’ll eat’em for ya. DM for details
By changing the way man has survived since the beginning will unsettle the food chain and cause many issues planet wide. Over population of these animals would cause a shortage in the food you would rather we eat then people starve to death. In short, you'd rather we die.
Climate change is a fraud. Keep rating your baby backs.
Same for large scale monoculture vegetable crops. Loss of plant biodiversity, soil degradation & erosion, surface & ground water quality, deforestation. It’s how we farm not what we farm. Buy local and get to know local farmers and support farmers markets.
How about some cut it by 90-100% and I'll keep eating it.
inky_mark Then get ready for BillGates to form the fake meat foundation and begin poisoning us.
WingsOfMySoul

Cut meat consumption by 100 per cent globally to stop animals from being brutally murdered way before their natural lifespans. GoVegan
NotaliaMateo Is that why they are setting fire to all the food processing plants?
No.
NotaliaMateo GFY IF TRUDEAU AND ALL THE POLITICIANS STOP TRAVEL, CUT THEIR MEAT CONSUMPTION BY 100%.... ONLY THEN..... THEY CAN ALL GFT's

No way! Meat is the best food!!!

meat is the most nutritious food on the planet .... the MSM getting funded to pushing the nonsense Agenda2030 WEF deathcult
No matter what you do, you will never stop the climate from changing you brain dead news outlet. Try again. I'm upping my meat intake now just because these dumb politicians and news outlets are against it.🤣
NotaliaMateo Stupidest crap 💩 I’ve ever heard. Seriously . . Let’s stop space exploration and satellites NATO and WEF and while we’re at it WEF and associates etc etc . . .
🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Nah.
Why don’t these so called experts talk about the real problem. Over populated world 🌎 !!!
You vill eat zee bugz
Reducing meat consumption, or better yet, removing it from your diet entirely, makes a bigger difference to climate change than anything else an individual can do. It also reduces the chances of suffering from a variety of health conditions. Most people are too selfish though. 🌱
Fuck that!
I just ate barbecued pork chop for supper and it was damn good! But I had Caesar salad with it. Had the best of both worlds!
Fuck...I sharpened my teeth for nothing.
If vegetarian Hindus said it, it would have been considered racist.
No chance.

Gtfo. Never
No thanks
Nope , country boys can survive .
meat is the most notorious food on the planet .... the MSM getting funded to pushing the nonsense Agenda2030 WEF deathcult
I’m 99% vegetarian save for eggs and dairy anyway, but here in Canada, I can’t imagine the average person, let alone farmer making this change. They’ll let the world burn to a cinder before you take their TheKeg gift cards away from them.
Bahaaaaaaa
Pound sand
And who is the largest private landowner in the US who would benefit from this? Please Google it.
Blow me
Just here for the ratio
cut or reduce greenhouse emissions to stop climate change
waller_nathan nahnahnikki VeggieMu nutrition_facts 🌱
So live in the pods and eat the bugs. Where did you hear that CTV?
Stop over population to tackle climate change.
Nope
This isn’t about “climate change” it’s about controlling people.
LAB GROWN MEAT is coming ...so this is just pre sales fear ...typical science based capitalism
