@@morbo8777 Your first reply is such a fucked up argument. It's like a parent telling their child that it ows it's existence to them, so it's ok they abuse the fuck out of it. Now go ahead and call me a whiney baby, but maybe think about that first.
I love how this video provides clear data and does not shame people for their eating habits. The main goal is raising awareness and it provides options if you are willing to make a change. very nice
I get the feeling, reading through the comments, that a lot of people missed the point of the comment "Eating meat doesn't make you a bad person, and not eating meat doesn't make you a good person". The point is that if you try and make people out to be "enemies" and make an "us vs them" mentality, you're going to have a much harder time trying to actually _talk_ to others and help them understand your point of view. If you make someone out to be a villain, an enemy, opposition to what you say is "right and just", you're creating for yourself an uphill battle. Remember that the people eating meat, and the people not eating meat, are all still _people._ Calm down, try and relax a little. I assure you, it'll help. Remember that pointing out instances of others not acting in civil ways is not a good excuse for doing so yourself.
dn8rofficial There's a way to give an opinion respectfully Most videos will just insult you for your own opinion and try to guilt trip you Which is shoving it down your throat
dn8rofficial >not an anti meat video >just facts Pick one. This video can be considered anti meat for one simple reason; it explains why humans controlling nature with industrial farms just to feed us is unethical Unless your spectrum of anti meat videos are just crazy vegans, you are really looking at this through a narrow lens.
Even when a tiny fraction of calories is made into beef, cows are still eating grass, and pigs are still eating shit. Still better to eat what we're feeding the animals than meat? I don't think so.
We could make vitamin rich meat in the future and also meat nutrient rich gmo crops with fibres too :D I am thinking to study bio engineering next year, not sure tho
Thank you for bringing this up! ❤ The industry is torture! No meat for 30years and I was a competitive bodybuilder for 10 years, on no meat. Still lift at 43yo 🤙
I honestly think fishing is destroying the world to a whole different scale than this... Not eating fish would make a DIRECT impact on the world, going vegan not so much, there is still time to save the oceans easily, but nobody talks about it
JohnyMo the points about meat still remain for everyone. As you saw in the video, doesn't matter if you're buying "100% organic" or regular meat, having a day without meat will give great benefits to the environment and .. well, humanity
Or about fukishima still leaking radiation so much so anyfish in the pacific are irradiated we have mushy king salmon that barely lay eggs now we need a new plauge an a hard reset natural disaster imi
"The way we treat animals will probably be something future generations will look down on in disgust." This one sentence proves that Kurzgesagt is from the future.
@Angela Li i've never heard of that sort of allergy! Still, if you have a medical condition you shouldn’t force yourself to eat stuff without a doctor's recommendations
@Angela Li go talk to your doctor about diets. That's basically what you do when you think about changing diets. You *_ALWAYS_* check with your doctor and ask about diets and how you should change it, gradually or immediately.
Most individuals often fail to explain effectively when it comes to this topic, but after seeing this documentary, I believe you did not fail like others. excellent work Kurzgesagt.
You’re a bad person. Sacrificing a bit of your own happiness for others is the definition of being a good person. If you can't do that, then you’re a bad one.
Ayaan Abdin I don’t have to agree with the video’s message. If you know the facts and don’t have dietary restrictions then there is no reason to not be vegan.
I mean technically they were. Because if slaughtering animals didn't exist, this video wouldn't exist. So we're animals hurt to made this video? Vaporwave plays
I am Vegan+ (I coined that term). Most of my diet is plant based but if I really feel like eating a steak - I select high quality meat, make an occasion out of it. That way I don't feel like missing out and I don't doubt whether I have enough B12 or not. My health has gone up amazingly and my grocery bills are pretty chill. This is how my great grandmother lived (because meat used to be a rich person's game back in her time) and she lived a long and fulfilling life... So, I am assured that it's not a life neceessity. I remember the village farmer coming over to our place to get drunk when the butcher came to town. He loved his animals - how could you not love those innocent creatures? But also had to allow them to be slaughtered... Maybe there was no alternative livelihood for him but I have about 1000 times more options on how I make my money
Lab grown meat is a godsend. How many people the world over without access to quality protein will be able to feed themselves. How many innocent animals will not have to be slaughtered to feed us. How much land will be repurposed to back to a natural state impacting greenhouse gases.. If you had a choice to eat two identical products, one of which is predicated on inhumane animal treatments and death and the other with no such issues, what would you ethically choose.
I'm definitely all up for lab grown meat. I know a lot of people are going to make the argument that like MSG it's human created and not as healthy as "natural food". But man, humans have always been domesticating and genetically modifying plants and animals for food, there's rarely any food you eat that wasn't created from mankind interference.
I work at a steakhouse. I literally cannot express the amount of meat that gets wasted. And, it isn't the restaurant doing the wasting, its the guests. Steak snobs are a real thing. Someone orders a steak, they want it cooked absolutely perfect. Even just a slight variation in the color of the steak will have them saying "send it back, bring a new one." Its almost as if they are proud of it. They flat out refuse to even try a bite. I get it, you order something one way, that's what you should get. If you order any plus temperatures at a steakhouse (medium rare plus, medium plus) you are a steak snob. I promise you that if you were blindfolded and tried a medium versus a medium plus steak you would not be able to identify between the two. My point is, try actually TRYING your steak before you send it back.
@@Chris-nw2lf no, you can't. I'd put money on it. We're talking a 3° difference in temperature. Do you taste the difference between when you've started eating your steak to when you've finished, because the initial heat has likely cooked it up 3°
@@Chris-nw2lf For a steak to be considered medium rare the inside temperature has to be about 130°F so for it to be medium rare plus that's 3° temperature difference more. Sure, I suppose it is possible to tell the difference, but it would be so minute. Basically, if that small of a difference is enough for you to send your steak back, you're a steak snob.
I decided to eat a vegetable meal if possible I think it is nearly impossible to replace my fatty diet with completely vegetable meals instantly but from now on I will reconsider when I eat meaty food and try to change my habit as much as possible.
I make myself 2 hamburgers per week, with fake "Beyond Burger" meat. People would think it's real meat... not like many fake meat. With Mc.Donald Sauce, and other stuff --> It's even better than any other hamburger I've eaten.
Including the dorks who arbitrarily criticize the grave state of humanity so they can implicitly pat themselves on the back and feel smug for contributing nothing to even a youtube comments page
Well there are people who acknowledge facts. And people who only acknowledge their feelings. Fact: Animal products are needless in the diet, destroy the environment, and cause suffering and death to billions of animals. Feelings: I like meat, fuck Vegans 🖕🌭🍖🥓😠
Artificial lab grown meat will likely be the future, no more animal mistreatment, much better resource consumption to produce. Make it healthy and safe and I'm 100% in.
@@Wichnam It'll be a blip on the radar as to how big of an issue that will be. Most likely "live" animal meat will slowly be phased out; demand for it will reduce, due to increased demand for lab grown meat when the quality goes up and price starts to come down. Any left over animals that nobody wants to slaughter for meat will wind up in farm sanctuaries, which already exist. But honestly, I suspect there will still be a niche market for live animal meat for a loooong time even when there are more ethical and just as delicious options because humans are fear-driven and afraid of change.
@@morgandax5590 Yeah well that will be a long ways off. *I* for one am not being guinea pig to lab meat. But ya'll can have fun with that while I wait the results.
i'm not sure what's wrong with me, but i laughed at this sentence: "Even if you had a personal score to settle with chickens, how we treat them is beyond broken."
No it is way worse, they live there whole lives in a factory with disease, stand on there own poop and never go outside, like the slave ships of the 1500s.@@DesolatorArgentina
So you do know what to do to REDUCE as much as possible your own feeling of shame... Edit: for some of you, if you think you are the victim and not the bully in this story you did not quite understood the stakes. beyond some messengers and their possible lack in communication skills there is the depth of their message.
@Jakob S You can find examples in the other comments for this video; the fact he isn't spoon-feeding it to you doesn't prove him wrong. There are people who say horrible things on both sides, and if you seriously don't know of any instance of vegans going ape shit about how evil, depraved, selfish, and destroying the world all meat-eaters are then you either don't frequent comment sections on vegan/diet topics much or are willfully ignoring it.
You’re making it sound as if you didn’t take what the oh such mean vegans said to you into consideration cause they were mean to you. Jesus, people. By the way those two sentences are essentially the same but you’re just twisting one of them to take a shot at the vegan’s being oh so mean by telling you to stop doing something. Stop twisting your words and actually think about what they said rather than how they said it.
There's a justice system in place to stop people who don't care about others lives abusing them because suggesting that they don't abuse is not good enough to stop abusive humans. Every meat eater knows they are abusing animals. If suggestions worked everyone would be vegan already. Suggestions aren't enough to stop the selfish socially accepted animal, planet and personal health abuse
Your video is the only one that's ever made me reconsider my stance on meat. I have vegan friends, I've heard of what goes on at factory farms, I've even read about the antibiotics and greenhouse gas problems, but I've never seen it all presented together, so eloquently, so (apparently) agenda-less, and so dispassionate. I have no moral qualm with eating animals, and I likely never will, but you've convinced me to take a couple days a week to be animal product free. Thank you for the video, and know it's made at least a tiny difference, starting here.
'And if you can, make it something more special again' I think this holds a lot of weight. Respecting how much resources went into producing meat, and not consuming it day in day out truly makes us appreciate it more.
@@morgandax5590 I really want to go vegan eventually but I'm very bad with food and hardly eat anything, especially fruit n veg. I want to start doing this though I think it's a really good idea
That’s what I decided to do after long ethical contemplation of eating meat. I love the taste of good steak, greasy bacon, or the occasional game meat, so I don’t want to quit them. At the same time, I feel responsible for the planet and care about my health, so meat-rich diet is not an option. I decided to treat meat as (well…) a treat. I try to eat it less often than twice a week, generally once a week. As I 'use' much less meat, I can afford to buy the best (both in quality, as in animal treatment) meat available. I don’t lose one of my favourite kinds of food, but at he same time I make a difference. A very, very tiny one, but still. Few my friends are hunters and I consider also starting to hunt. Maybe then I could switch to eating only meat I hunted myself, but I don’t know yet TBH.
@@g0blin_sh4rk I think you should try it. Don't have to do 0-100% vegan, just start where you are now, have a vegan day a week where you try out dishes, or cut out meat, milk or eggs out first and see how you go. That's how I went from cheese-addicted to vegan. And I don't regret any part of the journey :)
Back then when I was growing up overseas, we bought our meat at wet markets and we watched (most times) the slaughtering (usual quick slash to the neck or a quick pound to the head) by the seller. We don't buy one pack of breast or one pack or wings, we just buy one chicken or fish, or one/few parts of the pig (no multiple packed cuts). We eat all parts of the animals, from head to tail, from intestine to blood. I know the world is a different place now but it sends a shiver down my spine every time I see neatly packed meat parts (like the 24 packed wings) in the supermarket. I don't get the super moral bits of killing things as most animals are omnivores (we kept chicken and they would eat worms, insects, smaller animals and...their own kin if given the opportunity) but if I am going to consume another life to fuel my own life I'd rather consume its entirety if possible. Food waste is worse than eating meat on my moral scale.
some of the data kursgesagr uses are generalized i, as an example, live in a third world country, while you can find packed meat in supermarkets generally people here is used to go to saml businesses or local markets, it is like you described
Packaged meat doesn't mean waste. The corporations behind commercial meatpacking use the waste. Well, they sell it to people who put value on it (hence buying it, lol). There's some waste, but honestly, it's probably less waste than your family leaves, since they're using parts deemed inedible to humans to be part of animal food, fertilizers, biofuels, etc.
Lab grown meat is something very interesting. Its not a chemical or gmo thing as many think. What actually happens is that a piece of muscle is grown. Instead of growing an animal, and discecting it for its muscle flesh, we just grow muscles directly! This technology in theory works for organs too!!! So, technology for growing meat, instead of animals, is also technologie for organ replacements, healing and medicin! Definitely a field of technology that should be invested in!!! They even revently grew, cooked and served meat in this method. And, while it was only a small thin slab, i still was a absolut success!! Yay for the future!
@@blankblank5409 If humans do fund a way to perfectly and cheaply create artificial meat animals will no longer serve a purpose. As the population rises further and further what justifies the existence of animals.
A few things left out. Farmed fish are fed with about 5x their weight in wild caught fish, which are caught in huge miles long fishing nets in the ocean. The land used by beef directly contributes deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. All animals are fed with soy from deforestation, including those that claim "grass fed". The land used for milk and cheese per calorie is greater than that used for chicken or pork. Red meat production however uses far more land than any other food.
Yea but after listing so many reasons why the industry is awful - it felt like a huge cop-out at around the 6:30 mark when he's basically saying "...(uuuhhm) life is complicated. soo just eat ...less meat maybe?". Almost like they knew that by saying "Go vegetarian!" or "Go vegan!" they would lose thousands of subscribers in record time... Just my opinion tho.
@Theunwantedwings are you suuuure about that? Please tell me what's so essential in meat. I'm sure all 1.5 billion vegetarians are desperate for you to shed your light on what they're lacking.
Something to help with your report, one of the problems with this assessment is not all agricultural land and feed are created equal. No one feeds cows human grade corn unless it's the byproduct of oil presses and distilleries - after the humans used it. No, you cannot feed humans rotting byproducts or grass that grows on largely crappy land not suited for most crops. On top of that, rotating crop fields is a necessary part of restoring nutrients after intensive farming. Land shouldn't be exclusively used for only 1 product, the real problem is monocultures. Global Rice production produces just as much methane as cows do, it's not just meat that is problematic. It's all of agriculture. Yes CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operations) is problematic and shouldn't be the standard either, but this critique glosses over the fact that a small family farm is an artifical ecosystem that works best with both animals and plants. We have chickens because they eat all the insects instead of using pesticides. We have cows, goats, sheep, and other herbivores because it means less gasoline and diesel to run grass cutting machines and use their poop for running Biogas generators. Everyone should be using Biogas for the food waste and poop if you really care about methane production or converting methane into less harmful CO2. Crop farms hire hunters and pest control all the time too, so if you think eating plants kills less animals woo wee sorry to tell you but we kill way more rats and insects and fish each year from crop agriculture than we slaughter animals. Every day is killing day for an unwanted farm pest, whereas livestock on average take 1-3 years to reach market weight. No one goes around and counts all the dead rats hiding in the bushes and holes. Comparing these two realities is disingenuous when you don't even know the real numbers about how living things are affected by humans. You can't really claim an honest ethical high ground as a supermarket vegan just by pretending animals don't die in the process of raising crops
@@Food5Thought yeah, im almost done, he put his sources in the description so reading those aswell and with the clear vid, wasnt difficult just a little time consuming but i got through it :D
It's always amazing for me seeing TH-cam channels creating not only quality content, but content that is meant to have a positive impact on the world. You guys are basically giving a giant middle finger to the YT algo which promotes content that is uploaded daily and is basically trash **Cough Cough "The Paul brothers" Cough Cough** As someone who is also going for "quality over quantity" I salute you and your journey. I think I speak for everyone when I say, thank you. I will continue to support you.
Tell that to a lion when it eats a gazelle. Life is cruel and something needs to die to provide sustenance for another. That's life. I agree that we can be kinder to animals with more humane farming, but let's not pretend it's possible to stop all killing for food.
gassed and then shredded apart. that seems oddly similar to how a specific ethnic group was treated in ww2 EDIT this is a fucking joke no offense to anybody who sees this
This is the most honest video about the negatives of eating meat i've ever seen. You've altered my opinion and made me feel bad about eating meat without attacking me. This is the proper way to win an argument. I can't hate on vegans anymore.
I don’t think it’s about winning an argument, it’s about the truth of the ‘meat’ and ‘dairy’ industries treatment of animals. There is no justification for the abuse and ultimate death of sentient beings for food, when there are plant based alternatives. I was indoctrinated into the system but for the last two years have been wholly plant based. I feel better for not causing anymore harm to animals consciously, and ultimately the health benefits gained are exponential. But for me it’s the animals that matter...
Well the thing is, that sometimes you need the aggressive fundamentalists to make a difference. I could use the example of the suffragettes, but I won’t because some people think that they were not necessary to the gain of women’s suffrage. But actually a significant amount of the vegans were swayed, at first, by aggressive shouting and stuff like that. But definitely not everyone. I was swayed by a sticker on the tube for Veganuary.
The arguments in the video are quite standard, and not very good, they don't go deep enough. Many of the Kurzgesagt videos are very good and insightful, but they missed a lot of points on this one. Not impressed.
Usually vegans think meat is not good for themselves, not about the environment. BTW i wanna taste cloned human meat. Edit: i DON'T wanna taste human meat anymore
Some will some wouldn't, some people don't like the taste of meat. I for example will buy a giant ton of synthetic meat if its actually as good for the environment as veggies are.
depends on the individuals reason for not eating meat in the first place. if it was purely an ethical decision, they probably would. if it was a healthful one, probably not. however there are nuances to both sides. for me personally, I have no desire to consume flesh, synthetic or otherwise.
Important tip: Before you show this to your friends, make sure you show them some of the other great videos by Kuzgesagt so they wont dismiss it from the start ;)
i disagree. it sounds like you want people to start liking him so that they think he can't be wrong about something. this video doesn't need context from other videos to be criticized fairly.
@@LoneWolfUprising I'd like to counter that. Of course making people like kurzgesagt doesn't make their argument stronger, but Kurzgesagt's team usually understand the literature, and are hard working to get their facts right. It would be beneficial to yr friends to acknowledge this because there are so many fake news out there.
@@LoneWolfUprising It does. It doesn't change the argument, but it does show that Kurz genuinley wants to inform people and does as much research as possible. At the very least, someone should show them the video where they explain how they do their research
This channel is doing really important work. Thank you for helping to educate me and the rest of the world on complicated, interesting, and vital topics. Videos that present the facts in an honest, unbiased, and non-accusatory way like this one and the vaccine video are so well done and necessary!
@@miguelbr5807 Other videos are 100% biased as they say eating meat is bad. Period. This video shows both sides. . . which is kind of the definition of unbiased.
How about you wait until you actually eat that 1000 dollars steak that doesn't taste or feel like steak? Lab meat might eventually be a good solution, but it is nowhere near ready.
I really appreciate that his answer was not "Never have meat ever again!!" Rather, it was much more reasonable to limit the amount of meat I consume. I might actually do this!
Yeah you should reduce it gradually but your goal should be none at all because even once a week is still bad for a cow a pig a chicken a fish and the other ones
@Anna vegans be like: your a bad person for eating meat cuz i get triggered when people enjoy food. like i know how bad the conditions are but just cuz i eat meat doesnt mean im basically gonna grab a knife and commit genocide or diddle kids
@@Abberaeitsneozm I mean I’m not a vegan but I don’t see what’s wrong with lecturing others on what they should eat, though they don’t have to change if you stop eating meat and not only that, you tell others to do the same, you could stop demand for meat making the conditions somewhat better for the animals
@@eisaanader386 checked it out, seemed to ignore a multitude of points and side effects and tried to alter figures based on not global figures but national figures, when it's the global figures that affect the globe..the figure head of the video was a pro-beef Advocate so it was never going to be a balanced video from the get go
@@eisaanader386 I think that video has already been debunked, I would encourage you to try to watch Earthling Ed's response to that video, and from that you can try to make your own conclussions The main issue with that video is that the studies that the video brings to the table were extremely biased from the beginning
If you're gonna buy food, the best way to respect the lost lives is to not waste a single bit of it. this applies to plants too - my mother will disown me if I pick out my celery
It is probably the best advice beside becoming a vegetarian which is pretty bad But then again i only respect, feel bad, and love living animals Dead ones are just food
@Vegetables and Depression I did watch the whole thing. You guys go through just as much plastic and shit as the rest of us and vegans tend to prefer organic farming which is horrible for the environment. My point was is that farming isn't really the problem it's energy production.
batt3ryac1d I think people nowadays throw the term ‘roasted’ around too freely. You should admit that you said that only to support someone that has the same point of view as you have and didn’t actually think that the comment was actually worthy.
RanDumSocksGames if this was a vegan video it would be 3% different, it say "if you care about this topic and want to make a difference try your best to transition to being vegan for the world and the animals" but of course that's really pushy so they can't do that. stay doing things that are bad for the planet, you're not a bad person and you're not a hypocrite!
No, this videos says nothing new and doesnt even take a side, so its a hollow shell with now weight in the meat-no meat discussion. Its regurgitating all the info that we already know about the meat problem.
As a vegan, I couldn't agree more. There's a place for activism; but this information needs become mainstream... I mean, vegans have been saying all of the same things this video did for years, but even the word vegan just triggers people enough not to listen. That being said, think a little about the conclusion of the video! If you disagree with something morally and know there are better options, is reducing by 1 day a week REALLY enough to align your actions with your morals? It's a fantastic stepping stone and if everyone did it, it would have a big impact. And to be honest, I did this myself (reduced animal products to limited meals, days per week, and eventually vegetarian), but from there the logical transition is to completely or at-least almost entirely animal product free because that's just where my morals sit... I decided my actions should at-least reflect that the vast majority if not all of the time. I hope that people can see it the same way too (but I also respect that not everyone is there yet or agrees, and that's fine).
I used to raise lambs for stock shows here in texas. One of the things I tried to do was provide the absolute best possible life for each and every lamb I raised, and treated them with the utmost respect. However, most of the people I met in the showbarn regularly drugged their lambs and did extremely cruel things to the sheep. I eat pretty much no meat (I'll eat seafood if I have to, cuz texas) because I know that the amount of good I did for my lambs was not as enough to make the meat industry a safe and humane place to eat, at least for me to continue supporting it. If others want to eat meat, im all fine, but I personally just can not because I have seen the inside of a lot of this stuff, and it has forever changed me, hopefully for the good.
And now ull tell us fish don't have feelings if u personally abstain from eating meat and u eat seafood does it mean land animals are superior to aquatic animals so your lamb is better than a tuna t
@@jacquesdesardjins6129 he never said that a lamb is greater than a tuna. He's just saying that sometimes (perhaps on some occasions) he'll have seafood. I think that's absolutely okay, some people can't make that huge leap. We shouldn't make them feel pressured. Plus, it's clear that if he didn't have to due to some sort of external (maybe family or peer) pressure because of the region he lives in, then he wouldn't do it.

Kurzgesagt, you have my full respect by educating the public about the horrors, yet still not shaming them for their choices and instead just nudging them in the right direction. Amazing work!
Why are so many people critizising the video by saying that a fully vegan diet isn't healthy? Something like that is never said in the video. They are merely advising people not to eat meat every single day for every single week of their lifes, which is scientifically proven to be better for your health. So calm down for a second and actually listen to what is said in the video, jeez.
Lab grown meat is coming, but the first products are going to be a luxury product. Large scale production needs more innovations. One key problem with lab growing meat is that muscle cells need a surface to attach to, and this is why the cells have been grown in very thin layers. There are no blood vessels in lab grown meat and oxygen and nutrients can reach only so far down a layer of cells. The cells beyond this die. An option that is researched is to use beads floating in the growth medium that the cells can attach to allowing far more volume for the cells to grow. Btw I made a video on how lab grown meat is made in my channel.
lol no that's ridiculous. My great grandmother grew about 90% of what she ate on her tiny patch of land. Corn, beans, vegetables, fruit - enough to sell to others :) Can't even sustain a single sheep on the size of land she held!
Intelligent humans sharing facts in easily digestible ways. Your videos make me feel so hopeful. I don’t comment on social often, but trying to support your channel as much as I can. Thank you for the time and effort taken to produce these quality videos!
It's really well put together but the content is pretty confusing. At first they tell us how immoral and bad meat industry is, and at the end they promote it and say its okay to eat it? How is it okay with the info at the start?
@@allandm They say that because cutting meat all together from the world diet is not just wishful thinking, it's impossible. Yeah sure if they said it a few dozen people would be convinced and would stop eating meat alltogether, but the truth is most other people who have access to meat will just...keep eating it. As they said, meat is deeply satisfying on a primal scale and we can't really resist it easily, so of course most of the populus won't
@@InitiateDee well, we can't stop everyone in the world from raping, it's not just wishful thinking, it's impossible. Does that mean we might as well do it too and not try to stop it from happening? It's the same logic. We know eating meat is an ethical issue and environmental issue, just because we can't get everyone to stop doing it, does that excuse it? It's illogical to me.
@@allandm It doesn't excuse it, and I don't think they ever say it does, but I mean everyone who watched the video has seen the sides of meat production and how deeply impactful it is, so regardless of what they say in the end it's merely a choice on you and you alone whether or not you're gonna change your diet
@@InitiateDee yes, it's definitely a choice. I guess I just wish the video didn't conclude with a positive note. People are already looking for any excuse to not change, this channel has a huge reach and I wish when they spoke about veganism they didn't give more excuses.
Any platform like this that reaches a large audience has the potential for good discussion. You just have a lot more nonesense and trolls to sift through in TH-cam comments compared to other forums. Don't get discouraged, its always worth at least trying to have a constructive and polite conversation.
@@handleofvecna2443 but then you have people making half baked analogy or ignore all the benefits to one side and all the downsides to their own (like how the video leaves out the benefits of meat and why meat has helped humanity, but instead implies that eating plant based meal like they did back when meat was more extravagant was more sensible)
roji People will always have a bias when making arguments, and thats totally fine. If there's polite discussion there's a chance to find understanding even if its just agreeing to disagree.
This is a really tricky subject to handle and I think Kurzgesagt have done a pretty damn good job of it with this video. They present an incredibly well balanced view of the situation without pandering to either side. I kind of wish they'd mentioned dairy farming as well, as that's definitely an important part of the issue.
They talked about dairy farming a little bit with the constant impregnating of cows and how their children are ripped away after birth. However, I agree there could have been a little more focus on that. Kurkurzgesagt had a lot to cover though and I think they did a wonderful job

@@robertofavila6494 That we should stop eating animal products for the sake of our environment and to reduce the suffering caused by the farming industry. We've got 11 years to reduce global GHG by 45%. According to the IPCC. Their report calls for a change in diet and food production. We could address everything from transport to energy. And our food system alone would cause a 2°c rise in global temperatures. It's that destructive. Its gotten to the point, where we are quite literally, gambling with the future of our planet - for the sake of cheeseburgers.
I only eat chicken and occasionally pork now, not ideal I know but better than gorging and wasting, the sooner we have synthetic meat the better, for all living things. If you have a stronger resolve than me, I'd recommend fungi, the hedgehog mushroom for example you'd swear was chicken if you ate it blindfolded.
Eksa Stelmere That’s a short-sighted view on how supply and demand works, though. As fewer people eat meat, and the demand for meat drops, at first yes, the excess meat produced will of course be thrown away. But eventually the industry will start producing less and less meat because it’s no longer as profitable/demanded. Farms will switch from raising cattle and pigs to raising produce, or downsize, or go out of business and make way for something else that’s in demand.
John Harvey being vegan is not eating animal products. Nothing more. You can be a vegetarian or a meat eater and judge people just as much for what they eat or don’t eat.
1) they're not telling you to become vegetarian 2) it's your choice to do it anyways 3) animals do practically waste a whole lot of resources for what they give 4) we suck at caring for animals most of the time

I get the feeling, reading through the comments, that a lot of people missed the point of the comment "Eating meat doesn't make you a bad person, and not eating meat doesn't make you a good person". The point is that if you try and make people out to be "enemies" and make an "us vs them" mentality, you're going to have a much harder time trying to actually _talk_ to others and help them understand your point of view. If you make someone out to be a villain, an enemy, opposition to what you say is "right and just", you're creating for yourself an uphill battle.
Remember that the people eating meat, and the people not eating meat, are all still _people._ Calm down, try and relax a little. I assure you, it'll help. Remember that pointing out instances of others not acting in civil ways is not a good excuse for doing so yourself.

This video can be considered anti meat for one simple reason; it explains why humans controlling nature with industrial farms just to feed us is unethical
Unless your spectrum of anti meat videos are just crazy vegans, you are really looking at this through a narrow lens.

I’m no vegan but the way some animals are treated is really sad.
Yeah, it’s awful. That’s why I became vegetarian. I hope to be vegan when I’m in college, and have control of what I eat
I am Vegan+ (I coined that term). Most of my diet is plant based but if I really feel like eating a steak - I select high quality meat, make an occasion out of it.
That way I don't feel like missing out and I don't doubt whether I have enough B12 or not. My health has gone up amazingly and my grocery bills are pretty chill.
This is how my great grandmother lived (because meat used to be a rich person's game back in her time) and she lived a long and fulfilling life... So, I am assured that it's not a life neceessity.
I remember the village farmer coming over to our place to get drunk when the butcher came to town. He loved his animals - how could you not love those innocent creatures? But also had to allow them to be slaughtered... Maybe there was no alternative livelihood for him but I have about 1000 times more options on how I make my money
If only we had the sciences to do anything and had infinite energy, but we have to resort to tactics like this to feed 8 billion people.
Lab grown meat is a godsend. How many people the world over without access to quality protein will be able to feed themselves. How many innocent animals will not have to be slaughtered to feed us. How much land will be repurposed to back to a natural state impacting greenhouse gases..
If you had a choice to eat two identical products, one of which is predicated on inhumane animal treatments and death and the other with no such issues, what would you ethically choose.
@@frostflower5555 yeah but now the only problem is trying to figure out how to make a process faster. And make it not contribute to co2 emissions.
I'm definitely all up for lab grown meat. I know a lot of people are going to make the argument that like MSG it's human created and not as healthy as "natural food". But man, humans have always been domesticating and genetically modifying plants and animals for food, there's rarely any food you eat that wasn't created from mankind interference.
Brushing your teeth and sleeping in a bed isn't "natural" either and we do that without complaining!
Yeah i am 100% up to trying lab grown meat, As long as its not going to kill me in 20 years :P
Agreed.

I work at a steakhouse. I literally cannot express the amount of meat that gets wasted. And, it isn't the restaurant doing the wasting, its the guests. Steak snobs are a real thing. Someone orders a steak, they want it cooked absolutely perfect. Even just a slight variation in the color of the steak will have them saying "send it back, bring a new one." Its almost as if they are proud of it. They flat out refuse to even try a bite. I get it, you order something one way, that's what you should get. If you order any plus temperatures at a steakhouse (medium rare plus, medium plus) you are a steak snob. I promise you that if you were blindfolded and tried a medium versus a medium plus steak you would not be able to identify between the two. My point is, try actually TRYING your steak before you send it back.
kevinthibodeau i promise you we can tell the taste.
@@Chris-nw2lf no, you can't. I'd put money on it. We're talking a 3° difference in temperature. Do you taste the difference between when you've started eating your steak to when you've finished, because the initial heat has likely cooked it up 3°
kevinthibodeau wdym? Im saying i can taste the difference between medium medium rare and medium rare plus etc
@@Chris-nw2lf For a steak to be considered medium rare the inside temperature has to be about 130°F so for it to be medium rare plus that's 3° temperature difference more. Sure, I suppose it is possible to tell the difference, but it would be so minute. Basically, if that small of a difference is enough for you to send your steak back, you're a steak snob.
So think of an other business that would not have such arrogant custumors in it's demographic

@@Wichnam probably all eaten or killed no need to waste good food
@@Wichnam It'll be a blip on the radar as to how big of an issue that will be.
Most likely "live" animal meat will slowly be phased out; demand for it will reduce, due to increased demand for lab grown meat when the quality goes up and price starts to come down.
Any left over animals that nobody wants to slaughter for meat will wind up in farm sanctuaries, which already exist. But honestly, I suspect there will still be a niche market for live animal meat for a loooong time even when there are more ethical and just as delicious options because humans are fear-driven and afraid of change.

@Jakob S You can find examples in the other comments for this video; the fact he isn't spoon-feeding it to you doesn't prove him wrong. There are people who say horrible things on both sides, and if you seriously don't know of any instance of vegans going ape shit about how evil, depraved, selfish, and destroying the world all meat-eaters are then you either don't frequent comment sections on vegan/diet topics much or are willfully ignoring it.
You’re making it sound as if you didn’t take what the oh such mean vegans said to you into consideration cause they were mean to you. Jesus, people.
By the way those two sentences are essentially the same but you’re just twisting one of them to take a shot at the vegan’s being oh so mean by telling you to stop doing something. Stop twisting your words and actually think about what they said rather than how they said it.
There's a justice system in place to stop people who don't care about others lives abusing them because suggesting that they don't abuse is not good enough to stop abusive humans. Every meat eater knows they are abusing animals. If suggestions worked everyone would be vegan already. Suggestions aren't enough to stop the selfish socially accepted animal, planet and personal health abuse
Your video is the only one that's ever made me reconsider my stance on meat. I have vegan friends, I've heard of what goes on at factory farms, I've even read about the antibiotics and greenhouse gas problems, but I've never seen it all presented together, so eloquently, so (apparently) agenda-less, and so dispassionate. I have no moral qualm with eating animals, and I likely never will, but you've convinced me to take a couple days a week to be animal product free. Thank you for the video, and know it's made at least a tiny difference, starting here.
Thanks for saving me the trouble for writing this myself
Same here

Well beans for example are a great source of protein
@@bikalimark There are many protein rich foods out there
'And if you can, make it something more special again'
I think this holds a lot of weight. Respecting how much resources went into producing meat, and not consuming it day in day out truly makes us appreciate it more.
100%
Underrated comment.
@@morgandax5590 I really want to go vegan eventually but I'm very bad with food and hardly eat anything, especially fruit n veg. I want to start doing this though I think it's a really good idea
That’s what I decided to do after long ethical contemplation of eating meat. I love the taste of good steak, greasy bacon, or the occasional game meat, so I don’t want to quit them. At the same time, I feel responsible for the planet and care about my health, so meat-rich diet is not an option.
I decided to treat meat as (well…) a treat. I try to eat it less often than twice a week, generally once a week. As I 'use' much less meat, I can afford to buy the best (both in quality, as in animal treatment) meat available. I don’t lose one of my favourite kinds of food, but at he same time I make a difference. A very, very tiny one, but still.
Few my friends are hunters and I consider also starting to hunt. Maybe then I could switch to eating only meat I hunted myself, but I don’t know yet TBH.
Tell this to muscle head bodybuilders. The amount of protein and dairy proucts they consume may be 3-4 times that of an average human
@@g0blin_sh4rk I think you should try it. Don't have to do 0-100% vegan, just start where you are now, have a vegan day a week where you try out dishes, or cut out meat, milk or eggs out first and see how you go. That's how I went from cheese-addicted to vegan. And I don't regret any part of the journey :)
Back then when I was growing up overseas, we bought our meat at wet markets and we watched (most times) the slaughtering (usual quick slash to the neck or a quick pound to the head) by the seller. We don't buy one pack of breast or one pack or wings, we just buy one chicken or fish, or one/few parts of the pig (no multiple packed cuts). We eat all parts of the animals, from head to tail, from intestine to blood. I know the world is a different place now but it sends a shiver down my spine every time I see neatly packed meat parts (like the 24 packed wings) in the supermarket. I don't get the super moral bits of killing things as most animals are omnivores (we kept chicken and they would eat worms, insects, smaller animals and...their own kin if given the opportunity) but if I am going to consume another life to fuel my own life I'd rather consume its entirety if possible. Food waste is worse than eating meat on my moral scale.
some of the data kursgesagr uses are generalized i, as an example, live in a third world country, while you can find packed meat in supermarkets generally people here is used to go to saml businesses or local markets, it is like you described
Packaged meat doesn't mean waste. The corporations behind commercial meatpacking use the waste. Well, they sell it to people who put value on it (hence buying it, lol). There's some waste, but honestly, it's probably less waste than your family leaves, since they're using parts deemed inedible to humans to be part of animal food, fertilizers, biofuels, etc.

Lab grown meat is something very interesting.
Its not a chemical or gmo thing as many think.
What actually happens is that a piece of muscle is grown.
Instead of growing an animal, and discecting it for its muscle flesh, we just grow muscles directly!
This technology in theory works for organs too!!!
So, technology for growing meat, instead of animals, is also technologie for organ replacements, healing and medicin!
Definitely a field of technology that should be invested in!!!
They even revently grew, cooked and served meat in this method.
And, while it was only a small thin slab, i still was a absolut success!!

@@blankblank5409 If humans do fund a way to perfectly and cheaply create artificial meat animals will no longer serve a purpose. As the population rises further and further what justifies the existence of animals.
A few things left out. Farmed fish are fed with about 5x their weight in wild caught fish, which are caught in huge miles long fishing nets in the ocean. The land used by beef directly contributes deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. All animals are fed with soy from deforestation, including those that claim "grass fed". The land used for milk and cheese per calorie is greater than that used for chicken or pork. Red meat production however uses far more land than any other food.

Something to help with your report, one of the problems with this assessment is not all agricultural land and feed are created equal. No one feeds cows human grade corn unless it's the byproduct of oil presses and distilleries - after the humans used it. No, you cannot feed humans rotting byproducts or grass that grows on largely crappy land not suited for most crops. On top of that, rotating crop fields is a necessary part of restoring nutrients after intensive farming. Land shouldn't be exclusively used for only 1 product, the real problem is monocultures. Global Rice production produces just as much methane as cows do, it's not just meat that is problematic. It's all of agriculture.
Yes CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operations) is problematic and shouldn't be the standard either, but this critique glosses over the fact that a small family farm is an artifical ecosystem that works best with both animals and plants. We have chickens because they eat all the insects instead of using pesticides. We have cows, goats, sheep, and other herbivores because it means less gasoline and diesel to run grass cutting machines and use their poop for running Biogas generators. Everyone should be using Biogas for the food waste and poop if you really care about methane production or converting methane into less harmful CO2.
Crop farms hire hunters and pest control all the time too, so if you think eating plants kills less animals woo wee sorry to tell you but we kill way more rats and insects and fish each year from crop agriculture than we slaughter animals. Every day is killing day for an unwanted farm pest, whereas livestock on average take 1-3 years to reach market weight. No one goes around and counts all the dead rats hiding in the bushes and holes. Comparing these two realities is disingenuous when you don't even know the real numbers about how living things are affected by humans. You can't really claim an honest ethical high ground as a supermarket vegan just by pretending animals don't die in the process of raising crops

Tell that to a lion when it eats a gazelle. Life is cruel and something needs to die to provide sustenance for another. That's life. I agree that we can be kinder to animals with more humane farming, but let's not pretend it's possible to stop all killing for food.

gassed and then shredded apart. that seems oddly similar to how a specific ethnic group was treated in ww2

It’s all I think about when I see chicken nuggets.
Feminists approve
By law, gassing doesn't necessarily need to happen so in most places they are shredded while fully conscious...! :(
This is the most honest video about the negatives of eating meat i've ever seen. You've altered my opinion and made me feel bad about eating meat without attacking me. This is the proper way to win an argument. I can't hate on vegans anymore.
We don't really hate vegans, what we hate are those aggressive fundamentalist vegans.
I don’t think it’s about winning an argument, it’s about the truth of the ‘meat’ and ‘dairy’ industries treatment of animals. There is no justification for the abuse and ultimate death of sentient beings for food, when there are plant based alternatives. I was indoctrinated into the system but for the last two years have been wholly plant based. I feel better for not causing anymore harm to animals consciously, and ultimately the health benefits gained are exponential. But for me it’s the animals that matter...
Well the thing is, that sometimes you need the aggressive fundamentalists to make a difference.
I could use the example of the suffragettes, but I won’t because some people think that they were not necessary to the gain of women’s suffrage. But actually a significant amount of the vegans were swayed, at first, by aggressive shouting and stuff like that. But definitely not everyone. I was swayed by a sticker on the tube for Veganuary.
Fucking pussy. It's just the industrial revolution's fault
The arguments in the video are quite standard, and not very good, they don't go deep enough. Many of the Kurzgesagt videos are very good and insightful, but they missed a lot of points on this one. Not impressed.

I wonder if synthetic meat can be produces in large scale quantity, will vegans eat it?
Usually vegans think meat is not good for themselves, not about the environment. BTW i wanna taste cloned human meat.
Edit: i DON'T wanna taste human meat anymore
If it is 50% as good as ground beef, I'd use it. I cook a lot and love beef, but I do wish it didn't come from cute animals.
Some will some wouldn't, some people don't like the taste of meat.
I for example will buy a giant ton of synthetic meat if its actually as good for the environment as veggies are.
from friends i have who are vegans, they are the ones pushing for it the most, so i think a lot of them would eat it
depends on the individuals reason for not eating meat in the first place. if it was purely an ethical decision, they probably would. if it was a healthful one, probably not. however there are nuances to both sides. for me personally, I have no desire to consume flesh, synthetic or otherwise.
Important tip: Before you show this to your friends, make sure you show them some of the other great videos by Kuzgesagt so they wont dismiss it from the start ;)
i disagree. it sounds like you want people to start liking him so that they think he can't be wrong about something. this video doesn't need context from other videos to be criticized fairly.
@@LoneWolfUprising I'd like to counter that. Of course making people like kurzgesagt doesn't make their argument stronger, but Kurzgesagt's team usually understand the literature, and are hard working to get their facts right. It would be beneficial to yr friends to acknowledge this because there are so many fake news out there.
@@quangho8120 i counter with "yeah, they do good research, you can trust them"
True
@@LoneWolfUprising It does. It doesn't change the argument, but it does show that Kurz genuinley wants to inform people and does as much research as possible. At the very least, someone should show them the video where they explain how they do their research

@@Tletna it's further along than you might realize
@@Tletna and plus, lab meat will obviously be expensive at the first sales, so it would take years for it to be commonly eaten as actual animal meat.

Vegans are just as bad for the environment. We need lab grown meat and sustainable resources not pious cunts.
@Vegetables and Depression I did watch the whole thing. You guys go through just as much plastic and shit as the rest of us and vegans tend to prefer organic farming which is horrible for the environment.
My point was is that farming isn't really the problem it's energy production.
Vegetables and Depression it ain’t half. It’s 15%. Have you even watched the video?
@@colin-kun3611 boom roasted. this stupid pious prick is distracting from the real problems.
batt3ryac1d I think people nowadays throw the term ‘roasted’ around too freely. You should admit that you said that only to support someone that has the same point of view as you have and didn’t actually think that the comment was actually worthy.
Kuzrgesagt, can you make an additional video on fish and why it could be a good and bad solution?
Fish, insects and meat cloning
What fish? The oceans are almost empty, compared to the amout of fish 100 years ago, 75% is gone.
I was wondering about the impact of fish as well
Dani-Dynamite I'd like to see your sources on the oceans. I could agree about land species thought
"Seafood is a good alternative because none of them have super cute faces". Done!
Woa, a respectful and understanding controversial stance on meat? This was actually amazing and the world need more stuff like this.
RanDumSocksGames if this was a vegan video it would be 3% different, it say "if you care about this topic and want to make a difference try your best to transition to being vegan for the world and the animals"
but of course that's really pushy so they can't do that. stay doing things that are bad for the planet, you're not a bad person and you're not a hypocrite!
No, this videos says nothing new and doesnt even take a side, so its a hollow shell with now weight in the meat-no meat discussion. Its regurgitating all the info that we already know about the meat problem.
As a vegan, I couldn't agree more. There's a place for activism; but this information needs become mainstream... I mean, vegans have been saying all of the same things this video did for years, but even the word vegan just triggers people enough not to listen.
That being said, think a little about the conclusion of the video! If you disagree with something morally and know there are better options, is reducing by 1 day a week REALLY enough to align your actions with your morals? It's a fantastic stepping stone and if everyone did it, it would have a big impact. And to be honest, I did this myself (reduced animal products to limited meals, days per week, and eventually vegetarian), but from there the logical transition is to completely or at-least almost entirely animal product free because that's just where my morals sit... I decided my actions should at-least reflect that the vast majority if not all of the time. I hope that people can see it the same way too (but I also respect that not everyone is there yet or agrees, and that's fine).

I just got crazed tank
I used to raise lambs for stock shows here in texas. One of the things I tried to do was provide the absolute best possible life for each and every lamb I raised, and treated them with the utmost respect. However, most of the people I met in the showbarn regularly drugged their lambs and did extremely cruel things to the sheep. I eat pretty much no meat (I'll eat seafood if I have to, cuz texas) because I know that the amount of good I did for my lambs was not as enough to make the meat industry a safe and humane place to eat, at least for me to continue supporting it. If others want to eat meat, im all fine, but I personally just can not because I have seen the inside of a lot of this stuff, and it has forever changed me, hopefully for the good.
And now ull tell us fish don't have feelings if u personally abstain from eating meat and u eat seafood does it mean land animals are superior to aquatic animals so your lamb is better than a tuna t
Don't listen to that guy down there. Good for you for greatly reducing your meat consumption!
Bruh he said it himself
@@jacquesdesardjins6129 he never said that a lamb is greater than a tuna. He's just saying that sometimes (perhaps on some occasions) he'll have seafood.

Plus, it's clear that if he didn't have to due to some sort of external (maybe family or peer) pressure because of the region he lives in, then he wouldn't do it.
@@timbitpotato2546 eating meat is absolutely fine u have a right to eat meat eat meat untill your hearts content even I eat meat but I was merely pointing out he was contradicting himself as my understanding of English goes ( correct me if I'm wrong ) I keep lambs and i treat them the best I do not like the other people who drug them and do bad things; if u want to eat meat eat but (I will at very least eat seafood) because i live in Texas and i saw loads of things )______ what I understood was he said people doing bad thing to animals but I Will At The very Least eat seafood_____so it's either he thinks think fish struggle like that but they do what say I put I drown u that how a fish feels when out of water but am not saying u shouldn't eat seafood eat it. either that or because of medical or family or peer related things) but u can still get all The nutrients from plants and even better with no health risks like that of meat

Why are so many people critizising the video by saying that a fully vegan diet isn't healthy? Something like that is never said in the video. They are merely advising people not to eat meat every single day for every single week of their lifes, which is scientifically proven to be better for your health. So calm down for a second and actually listen to what is said in the video, jeez.

Lab grown meat is coming, but the first products are going to be a luxury product. Large scale production needs more innovations. One key problem with lab growing meat is that muscle cells need a surface to attach to, and this is why the cells have been grown in very thin layers. There are no blood vessels in lab grown meat and oxygen and nutrients can reach only so far down a layer of cells. The cells beyond this die. An option that is researched is to use beads floating in the growth medium that the cells can attach to allowing far more volume for the cells to grow.
Btw I made a video on how lab grown meat is made in my channel.
It does sound daunting, but the fact that meat itself was once a luxury gives me hope that we can get there.
This guy's vid on bioengineering and lab grown meats is great. Highly recommend checking it out

It's really well put together but the content is pretty confusing. At first they tell us how immoral and bad meat industry is, and at the end they promote it and say its okay to eat it? How is it okay with the info at the start?
@@allandm They say that because cutting meat all together from the world diet is not just wishful thinking, it's impossible. Yeah sure if they said it a few dozen people would be convinced and would stop eating meat alltogether, but the truth is most other people who have access to meat will just...keep eating it. As they said, meat is deeply satisfying on a primal scale and we can't really resist it easily, so of course most of the populus won't
@@InitiateDee well, we can't stop everyone in the world from raping, it's not just wishful thinking, it's impossible. Does that mean we might as well do it too and not try to stop it from happening? It's the same logic. We know eating meat is an ethical issue and environmental issue, just because we can't get everyone to stop doing it, does that excuse it? It's illogical to me.
@@allandm It doesn't excuse it, and I don't think they ever say it does, but I mean everyone who watched the video has seen the sides of meat production and how deeply impactful it is, so regardless of what they say in the end it's merely a choice on you and you alone whether or not you're gonna change your diet
@@InitiateDee yes, it's definitely a choice. I guess I just wish the video didn't conclude with a positive note. People are already looking for any excuse to not change, this channel has a huge reach and I wish when they spoke about veganism they didn't give more excuses.
In case anyone forgot, the youtube comments section is not designed for, nor conducive to, logical and structured discussion.

Any platform like this that reaches a large audience has the potential for good discussion. You just have a lot more nonesense and trolls to sift through in TH-cam comments compared to other forums.

@@handleofvecna2443 but then you have people making half baked analogy or ignore all the benefits to one side and all the downsides to their own (like how the video leaves out the benefits of meat and why meat has helped humanity, but instead implies that eating plant based meal like they did back when meat was more extravagant was more sensible)

i finally get some of the characters were from Bob's burgers after 5 years
This is a really tricky subject to handle and I think Kurzgesagt have done a pretty damn good job of it with this video.
They present an incredibly well balanced view of the situation without pandering to either side. I kind of wish they'd mentioned dairy farming as well, as that's definitely an important part of the issue.
There's nothing tricky about it. Not offending people by describing the effects of their dietary choices is the only tricky part.
gumpton they did, they talked about dairy cows and how they are constantly breeding so they are producing milk.
They talked about dairy farming a little bit with the constant impregnating of cows and how their children are ripped away after birth. However, I agree there could have been a little more focus on that. Kurkurzgesagt had a lot to cover though and I think they did a wonderful job
How is it balanced? They basically say meat is terrible but just have it anyway lol.

@@jhunt5578 what was your takeaway from this?
@@robertofavila6494 That we should stop eating animal products for the sake of our environment and to reduce the suffering caused by the farming industry.
We've got 11 years to reduce global GHG by 45%. According to the IPCC. Their report calls for a change in diet and food production. We could address everything from transport to energy. And our food system alone would cause a 2°c rise in global temperatures. It's that destructive.
Its gotten to the point, where we are quite literally, gambling with the future of our planet - for the sake of cheeseburgers.
difficult path to thread, trying to change people's taste for meat, but I was convinced. I'll try to eat less every week
Even having one day where you don't eat meat helps tremendously.
I only eat chicken and occasionally pork now, not ideal I know but better than gorging and wasting, the sooner we have synthetic meat the better, for all living things. If you have a stronger resolve than me, I'd recommend fungi, the hedgehog mushroom for example you'd swear was chicken if you ate it blindfolded.
All abstaining will do is ensure more meat will be thrown away and thus wasted. Sad, bit true. Worked in the meat industry long enough to know that.
That’s awesome to hear!! Thank you
Eksa Stelmere That’s a short-sighted view on how supply and demand works, though. As fewer people eat meat, and the demand for meat drops, at first yes, the excess meat produced will of course be thrown away. But eventually the industry will start producing less and less meat because it’s no longer as profitable/demanded. Farms will switch from raising cattle and pigs to raising produce, or downsize, or go out of business and make way for something else that’s in demand.
