If they stopped giving free money to corporations, people wouldn’t eat nearly so much meat. A large chunk of people would go vegan by economic necessity because the price of animal products would jump so high. And corporations tend not to care about stopping climate change.
I’m not qualified to say whether bugs are good for you (although muix send to have found evidence that they are). But I didn’t mention bugs. They’re different to vegetables and other plant-based products.
In any event, whether bugs share the nutrition of meat, it’s a simple equation of
eating a different balance of food or dying from an extreme weather event. It’s not even close.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying this is entirely down to personal choice or that solely amending diets will fix the problem. I’m not even saying that people need to cut out animal produce entirely. I’m saying that radical changes in the structure of human society are crucial if we want a human society to exist in any semblance of peace and prosperity. Sustainable food is a key component of that shift.
It’s objectively bad for you in the quantities eaten by the west. Cutting out red meat, milk and most of the other animal products from your diet is measurably better for your health.
Stop giving billions to giant multinational cattle farming companies. It’s just as large an emissions source as oil (which you can also stop funding directly by avoiding driving where possible and going solar-powered electric for the rest)
If I can get meat from a local farm is that ok? Am I excused from causing pain if I know it’s from an actual farm where I can go and pet the cow before eating it?
Asking for a friend…
Do you want to REALLY cut down on pollution? Stop giving free money to the giant corporations that are causing the most of it.
I’m not going to be vegan and I’m not going to eat bugs. If the corporations want to stop climate change, the corporations are causing the most of it.

meat is good for you. eating bugs isn’t
Seems like a baseless claim

So stop giving money to giant agribusiness corporations to subsidize the most polluting food source. Got it.
I’m not eating bugs. Real meat from animals is good for you. stop giving hundreds of billions per year to oil companies

Smugly attempting to mock people who care about animal welfare doesn’t justify all of the other harms you are doing.
I have access to meat from a farm, this was a real question from my friend.
