RE: Meatless monday - Switching out meat and a falafel wrap

in Foodies Bee Hive3 years ago (edited)

Our health, our nature and our poor animals could all do with a little less (or a lot less) meat consumption.

Many of them also consume meat. Usually each other. Either dead or alive. My bird (a Harris's hawk) also eat me.

I do not see any problem with meat eating. What more, eating meat is not just/only delicious, but I heard that it also improves brain fuction.

They do, but they do this to live, to survive. They don't have any other choice. Humans do. Humans have done plenty of science and found out that any nutrient meat provides, a plant based diet can also provide. With less of the downsides of meat to our health (like an increased chance of heart disease and cancer). So where health is concerned, plant based is probably a better idea. Just eat more nuts and seeds for your brain.

From all the information out there, I think most of our current problems concerning the climate could be avoided if everyone who could, would go plant based. Instead, because people want to barbecue, we have to come up with a shitload of other, also annoying, solutions and hope they will be enough.

So yes, I do see a problem with eating meat, even if you ignore the animal abuse, but I understand that it's a hard thing to give up for many people.

The climate part is probably a fair point, but plants are also living things, but interestingly no one says plant abuse.

By the way, besides meat, I also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I like them too. And I also like !PIZZA.

Yes, plants are living things, but to get to the eating meat part, we first have to feed animals a whole bunch of plants and then we eat the meat, so that's plant and meat abuse. I guess just eating plants straight away is the least amount of abuse we can get away with while still staying alive and healthy ourselves ;-)

That's good, it's a well balanced diet I think! If you would go meatless, you have to think about replacing some much needed nutrients and you'll probably be eating more things like nuts, seeds and beans, or... legumes I think is the right word? Then there's the B12 thing, but the add that to many meat replacers. There's a little planning and education involved in that path, but very doable. (Not trying to convert you by the way)

Pizza is great too!

@playfulfoodie, sorry! You need more $PIZZA to use this command.

The minimum requirement is 20.0 PIZZA liquid, and 0.0 PIZZA staked.
