What If Meat Was Banned?

It not about the coast it people packed into cities who think food just magically appears on store shelves.

Without animals agriculture there is no organic farming without composting plant material that will release large amounts of CO2.

There is no need to ban it just stop subsidies to animals agriculture so farmers need to make a profit

Your probably right "W.H.O" will probably be instrumental in doing this.

Stop it...just....stop it.

Animals will come from where they always came from. We plant their eggs in the ground (otherwise known as animal seeds) and they grow back as baby animals...or animal sprouts, as they are commonly known.

It's science.

Natchrly, I am minded (as a responsible adult) to sidestep the Off Topic Innuendo ansa to this question.

Gotta say tho, an absence of meat in my dinnah party recipe offerings would precipitate way fewer near death experiences for my guests.

"*Cough* *Splutter* *Gack*," says Will. "This chicken is so badly undercooked, I wish you'd slipped me a hot zucchini."

Let's take the supah-predatory HAMSTAH as an example of what may be possible.

Let's call her SUSIE.

She lives in a bedroom with Zack (who is 9yo) ... she gaht a dinky exercise wheel ... an' she would surely terrorize GAHDZILLA if'n he made waves into Zack's family bonhomie inroads.

But how does she simultaneously provide Zack-friendly snoopsiness an' thwart kazillion mile tall reptiliankind so?

Ansa is ... she don't wanna eat Zack.

Most reptile brains lookin' in on this kinda scenario gonna figure ... huh, this critter may be clever an' dangerous, jus' like the supremely powerful mammal from Guardians of the Galaxy I saw when I was ripping apart the cinemas of Tokyo.

Zack's parents toyed with the ideah of a pet lion ("because it will teach him the truth about the dog-eat-dog reality of life -- even though it is a cat"), but ultimately they favored the pet big on fluff gonna crap only 100% nuts, apple chunks, & other purely vegeterbyool intake.

Cows pull a similah deal -- but they ain't recommended as pets for 9yos, mainly cozza the trample ishoos summa the boy cows gaht.

Plus also, the bestsellin' cookbook from 2021 so far is Meat Will Rise Up From Nuts by Joy Throada, which endeavors to balance the whole livestock/agriculture dilemma in a sensitive an' ecologically aware kinda way that don't mean you gotta depend on meat alone for shit you can't actschwlly cook.

Thing is, our access to the fyootyure is dependent always on change, less'n we be statues eroded by a cruel an' unworshippin' void.

We are mebbe fortunate we don't live in times when you expected to be dead by 40.

Where we are now delivers the problems & opportoonities we gaht.

As they are, bcs how we are, with a view furthah down the track don't necessarily feachah us too much ... but which sumone kinda like us sumday would prolly like.

So, yeah -- hot zucchini for Moi, plz.

If'n it helps out the planet, I am ready to chomp sweet!

Seriously, I don't see anything remotely resembling food on that list.

All animal agriculture all fish even honey.cheese milk eggs air conditioners. Refrigerators heating with anything that burns.

They banned plastic bags here a month ago now I have to throw a bunch of paper bags in the trash when I get home from shopping. This is why people in the USA protect their guns

Poultry has the least impact on the environment. Might be able to sustain chickens and so eggs.

Beef cattle and sheep, anything that needs to graze and have land cleared away for it would have to go, IE, not be purposely bred in great numbers to eat. Around half of global warming is due to tree deforestation (lack of oxygen making) and the methane animals produce being bred in such large numbers.

There are two complex proteins that are in meat that plants never had. The fact that we ate meat a lot meant that due to them, our bodies, stamina, strength and energy was boosted enough for us to undertake heavy lifting projects and build empires.

These two proteins can now be synthesized and added to plant based foods.

The one remaining thing that is promising is we can grow meat protein in the lab from animal cells. Soo, that means keeping some breeds of animals around in small numbers just to extract the cells from. At the moment, due to its small scale, it is prohibitively expensive, but they can ramp that up.

I would miss eggs if the poultry had to go, and I would miss milk on my cereal and in tea, and added to products. Nothing beats the taste of real cows milk. I don't see too much of a problem with breeding fish and other sea-food.

Fortunately there will be no police left in areas that attempt to ban meat. If cops try going into homes to steal food from people . Kicking down the doors in poor neighborhoods to take food out of children's mouths

That is what a ban means imprisonment of parents for the food they feed their children

Probably, they are in the process of phasing out the straws in NJ. The paper bag ban goes into effect in May 4, 2022.

"As of Nov. 4, all New Jersey restaurants and food service establishments are banned from providing single-use plastic straws unless specifically requested by customers, according to legislation passed by Gov. Phil Murphy and other lawmakers last year"

Well what can not be banned out right can easily be made to work less efficiently with water saver and energy saver features that make things take three to 4 times longer and break and need replacement every 5 years.

There is nothing that can't be made to work less effectively in the name of the environment.

As technology progresses though even the environmental friendly items are getting much better. I just think water saving toilets will be a failure. Call them what they really are multiple flush toilets.

"Methane is the second most abundant anthropogenic GHG after carbon dioxide (CO2), accounting for about 20 percent of global emissions. Methane is more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Over the last two centuries, methane concentrations in the atmosphere have more than doubled, largely due to human-related activities."

Methane is produced by animals, an excess of which we breed for consumption along with other factors. A lot of it is, or was, trapped in oceans and in the permafrost, All of which are being warmed up, thus releasing it into the atmosphere. It does not stay up so long as Co'2 but continuance in its release adds to the total effect of warming.

Land is cleared to allow animals to graze, this means removal of trees which absorb Co'2 and create oxygen. While not the sole reason for global warming, all this adds up to a significant contribution.

There are virtually no carbs in meat.

That's actually a false claim. Watch the video I posted yesterday. It's quite good, and well worth watching, but if you don't have the time to watch an hour-long lecture, here's a much shorter video:

If so, that's likely because the grass/forage is insufficient for the size of the herd or because they are lactating cows which requires more nutrition due to high metabolism.


I like cows - I don't want to see them 'gone'.

It not the conspiracy community that is anti cow.

It's the militant vegans .

If Mass Media tells them it is, then it is, and will be til the cows come home, (sorry couldn't resist).

The only thing about blind obedience to MSM since it supports a narrative, is sometimes it goes sour, so much so you can't hide from it.

DDT in the early 50's, was pushed very hard by Gov, and Chemical companies, who l quote, "wanted to put it anywhere and everywhere" and if you didn't want it sprayed over your house, tough.

It was also considered, "Very Safe" if used as per recommended. And took one brave lady to blow the whistle.

A slick website full of HD images, and misinformation and lies, doesn't make something true, basic research shows the truth, not pigs in trough's, who are squealing.

Well you can probably better describe the process than I am. But yes ranchers clever enough to market to consumers running smaller operations.

You little Devil you.

Wow, Satan giving away lumps of coal to all the naughty kids in the cave.
I am so glad that there are still members that have been here for years, and have a sense of humour. I admit I have missed this a lot.
