Halve meat consumption, scientists urge rich world

[CreekDog]

76. I love beef, but I don't love much of the beef sold in this country

from a mechanized, drugged, corn fed industry that leaves the meat less enjoyable now than in the past.

the best thing for beef lovers is for the country to make less of it and make less of it more responsibly than more of it is being made now.

then it will taste better and be better for the environment than it is now.

as for jobs, why do we need to eat a certain unhealthy thing to keep people employed?

why do i have to gladly welcome junk mail into my house to keep postal workers employed, even though it harms the environment?

why do i need to drive everywhere to keep auto workers employed when i have to replace my car sooner?

why do i have to do all these things that i wouldn't do or wouldn't need to do, all things that increase global climate change, just to keep people employed, when what i'd be happy to do is pay taxes and pay for for things to be responsibly made, to keep people employed in jobs that help people and help the nation as much as possible, that fix things, that build infrastructure.

why do i have to do things i wouldn't do and don't feel comfortable doing, things that are harmful so that people can have a job, when i'm happy to support jobs in other fields, through taxes and responsible purchases.

i don't accept the guilt here, when i gladly support a better alternative that will either support those affected or give them employment.
