      have you seen how much meat americans eat tho? reducing meat consumption and adding healthier sides to eat with the meat would go a long way with helping to treat obesity

        No. It's sugar. Eating a normal portion of meat for every meal can easily keep you under the number of calories you burn in a day.

          Meat consumption and the industry around it is a huge problem not only humanitarian but it concerns climate aswell

                There's really not that much to do that's directly related to meat. Encouraging lowered consumption in general and switch to non-polluting methods of transportation and processing are mainly what we need. Methane is a tiny fraction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to CO2.

                    Methane accounts for around 16% of greenhouse gas emissions and not all of that is from animal agriculture.

                    "Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use" accounts for 24% of total emissions. 11% of total emissions are CO2 from the "Forestry, and Other Land Use" part. So at worst agriculture emissions (including plant ag) accounts for 13% of global emissions.

                    Compared to 76% of total emissions being CO2 (including the above mentioned 11%), it is a small fraction.

                    I literally don't care. Milking a cow isn't rape, meat isn't murder, blah blah blah.
