Most of China's land is already devoted to food production (and to supply 300 million people with meat, 80% of our freshwater in one of the most fresh water-abundant nations, is consumed! It's really outrageous... even if China meets our demand, they won't physically have enough water to drink... and there are already nations that have major drought problems.) It's just crazy... beef takes over 10 times the energy to produce one kcal of protein energy compared to a plant-based protein... I mean, come on people, do you really need THAT much meat? Even taking 3 days a week off would save HUGE amounts of energy and water, as well as fossil fuels. It also saves you from the antibiotics and hormones that they inject in animals to make them fatter and tastier and less disease-ridden. |
