I've been saying this for a long time. If we are going to eat meat (especially beef), it should be expensive and a special treat -- not an everyday occurrence!

The End of the #CheapBurger

#FastFood chains might be dangling deals, but #MeatEaters better prepare for a new, more expensive era for America’s favorite food.

"Most of us remember 2020 for the pandemic, but ranchers will also remember it for the severe drought. When pasture for herds to graze grows harder to come by, ranchers send animals to slaughter without replacing them, shrinking herds and sending prices up. 2024’s rainfall has been better, but parts of the country are still not out of the woods. Even as the costs of feed for cattle has declined, higher interest rates and operating expenses have meant that it’s still too pricey for most ranchers to get back to growing their herds, or 'rebuilding' them, in industry parlance. So the number of cattle continues to fall, and the price of beef will continue to rise."

Apologies this comes the other place, but is an interesting and important topic

- how does UK make best use of productive land to feed ourselves AND deliver NetZero commitments?

My watercolour painting, “Steering“ is now framed and sitting on an easel at the framing store. In the background are lots of different frames and frame samples. In front of us, the painting sits on the easel, it is framed. The watercolour painting is of a steer, in the Saskatchewan countryside.This is a photo of my framed artwork of my painting "Steering". It is sitting on an easel at the framing store. The watercolour painting is of a steer, in the Saskatchewan countryside. He’s standing very small in the frame. Behind him, the clouds are storming on the left and blue sky on the right. Up in the blue sky is a tiny red balloon. The steer is looking up at it longingly. The fence is open so that he could walk through it if he wanted to be free.

Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.

The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.

One reason is methane.

It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.

However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.

A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.

What's the market for #recipes that are both low carb & low meat?

We have a family member who has to eat low carb. We also strive to #EatLessMeat. This has forced me to get pretty creative in the kitchen. I've built a decent repertoire of recipes that are #keto-friendly, kid-friendly, working-parent-friendly, animal-friendly(ish), & don't use artificial sweeteners. It's a niche need, but curious if anyone else out there is chasing a similar diet & could use help!

Excellent news! This decision should be the final nail in the coffin for one of the cruelest & most controversial forms of #AnimalAbuse.

#Proposition12 bans sale of pork in #California from sows that are forced to live in stalls so small they cannot lie down, stand up or turn around - unnecessary, relentless #UnbearableSuffering of a sentient being.

Rows & rows of Factory Farming sows in crates so small they cannot lay down or turn around. They spend their entire lives in these torture chambers.

That toot has reeeal big 'the Sun revolves around the Earth' energy. 😂

It is worth noting that our livestock is almost double our biomass.

#EatLessMeat: We’re #degrading the habitats of other species to grow food for our own. Fate of creatures and critters — and what’s left of the #forests, #wetlands and other #habitats they call home — depends more than anything else on what we put in our mouths and how it gets made.
