    I am from India where 30% of the population is vegetarian, even though I eat meat I have never believed that vegetarian food is boring. People mainly in the west who think this really need to try real vegetarian cuisines and should not limit it with Brockley and salad.

      Outside of India, vegetarian usually means you’re eating a lot of salads and other foods that are very healthy but don’t usually have a lot of flavor. A friend showed me Indian vegetarian dishes and it was the first time I realized a vegetarian dish could have just as much flavor as a meat dish. I’m still not vegetarian but it was an incredibly eye-opening experience.

    I'm from Japan. The most interesting thing to me in this video was the fact that 76% of British people say that they care about the environment. I have never seen people who care about the environment in my country although I have met many people from different social backgrounds.
    Also, I have never seen vegetarians nor vegans in person here.
    This makes me wonder if people in Japan will switch to meat alternatives ever after the prices get lower and the quality gets higher.

      Maybe you can check out Ryoya Takashima's channel. He doesn't speak much about why he is vegan, but he does interact with environment activists and participate in many events. He also has an amazing cooking channel with a lots of vegan recipes. It's called Peaceful cuisine :). From the Japanese people I know, I actually feel quite opposite of what you said. They do care about the environment more and more, but they consider it more as a part of local and social responsibility. People in UK do say they are concerned about the environment but I feel like without saying it, Japanese people also do quite a lot. It's just not as much covered in media :)

      The dairy industry is on the run. Consumer demand change is a big part of the reason that two of the biggest dairy companies have recently filed for bankruptcy, and many dairy farms are closing. We can do the same for meat, if enough of us boycott it. Every time you make the right choice at the store or restaurant, fewer animals will be bred into existence to meet the demand.

      In my country, meats are quite expensive, egg is the cheapest option. So, for middle class, we barely eat meals unless for a special occasion. However, chicken is still affordable and easy to find. So, being a vegetarian/ vegan is quite hard if we want to eat outside, because vegan meals is far more expensive than chicken meals.

    • @Deathmastertx
      @Deathmastertx 3 года назад +3

      The big problem is that meat is largely not priced at its true cost. Producers and consumers are essentially subsidised because the global population as a whole pays for the emissions from feed, methane and deforestation. If there were a carbon/greenhouse gas tax, then people would face the true cost of meat. And it's not just meat vs non-meat. Beef would become more expensive more than chicken under such a tax, and meat producers trying to reduce emissions or use novel methods - like lab-grown meat - would pay less tax. It's really the most all encompassing, efficient and market-based way of dealing with emissions but because it's a big scary tax, many governments have had to resort to more haphazard and inefficient means like many different subsidies and regulations.

      I try to have a vegetarian dinner or two every week or so to save money and environmental reasons. It's not much but if we all did it it would help at the margins. I'm from a quite English-derived food background where meat is often the centre of the dish and, personally, the easiest vegetarian meals for me are vegetarian Indian curries. They have a real depth of flavour where you rarely feel like you're missing anything.

      @Deise Vilela before I even looked up what you asked; I knew you meant "inherently" not "by definition". Don't make that mistake again.
      I looked it up and there is an argument to be made that there is iron, vitamin B3 and phosphorus in beef burgers which isn't in the impossible burger. There's also the argument that the impossible burger is higher in calories than a regular beef burger which may be interrupted as less healthy. But there's calcium and dietary fibre in the impossible burger which isn't in a regular beef burger. There's also more potassium and sodium in the impossible burger compared to a regular beef burger.
      Over all, considering the similaires and differences it would be more of a subjective debate for an average person and arguably without longer term studies it's arguably hyperbole even between arguments by nutritional experts. I'd say they're both as unhealthy as eachother but, if all goes well, the impossible burger will have a drastically smaller greenhouse gas impact on the world. If scaled up, there's potential (but far from a guarantee) that it will become cheaper to produce than animal products.
      I do see your point but overall I would argue that exclusively based on the example of impossible burgers versus beef burgers that impossible burgers win.
      As for vegetarianism in general, they've got an uphill battle to convince me (and the world) away from chicken.

      As for your argument about many of those nutrients not available in plant "foods", they can be added- which they are added in processed foods like the impossible burger. They are available in tablet form so therefore they can be added to plant-based (emphasis on the word "based") food. You may never get those nutrients if you just eat some wheat from a field but you can add it to wheat-based products.

Some of those videos especially the massive shut in pig farm industry is absolutely horrifying, the way they are kept and treated. They would get shut down if that happened here I would think. But places like the US are massive pieces of land for animal control to keep a check on. China has the worst emmisions in the world and they'll never fall in line.

      The only reason traditional meat/dairy is so cheap is because the government spends hundreds of millions to subsidize it. If those funds instead went to vegan meat alternatives (as well as an increase in demand) the prices would drop dramatically. It's much cheaper to grow soy/peas/other ingredients used to make meat alternatives than it is to actually raise cattle to maturity.

Within the US alone take a road trip through the middle of the country and see how many vegan food option you're able to find! This is only exacerbated on a global scale! If we don't start tackling MACROlevel policy and change as the MAIN priority when it comes to addressing climate change aka GOVERNMENTS', MAJOR CORPORATIONS' roles in making sustainability possible for ALL, we will not make any progress. Individual consumers can only impact so little when the entire social and economic structure/system of the world is built to destroy it.

    Measuring carbon footprint is a very complex process, for example most land in the west of ireland isnt sustainable to produce crops. It would take a lot more of pesticides, fertilizer and more draining of wet land to produce crops in adequate yields, and their is a high chance of harvest loss because of the damp climate. Beef farming in a lot of cases supports Biodiversity , by cattle low grazing grass allowing light for a lot of plants to grow and its dung to nourish the soil. Also a lot of beef farmers lead very simple lives they dont travel long commutes to work, less likely to travel on foreign holidays, and are great for repurposing things that be other wise be thrown in landfill, like tyres, for preserving pit silage ie winter feed. I think a lot of urban eco warriors are very ignorent of beef farming.

    There's no point trying to tell people what they should eat. What you should do is have stringent regulation on the part of producers and only allow certain type of practice. For example, cows should not be penned in tight enclosure and given some space to walk around. This will naturally increase the cost for the producers and that transfer to the consumers thus they will eat less.
    People have no problem not eating meat, but if they have money of course they will eat meat. Instead of telling them to eat fake meat just make the price of meat higher.

      And I think there's a point in trying to tell people what they should eat because one day we will have to choose between producing crops for livestock or producing crops for us humans. There's simply not enough space anymore for meat production, and deforestation for cattle farming is already alarming. As more people worldwide make it out of poverty demand for meat will increase (the price doesn't matter since the richest are already the biggest consumers) and if we do not talk about these issues and offer alternatives to meat we're doomed, climate change and soil degradation will reduce the space available for essential crops and loosing precious calories by producing meat will be absurd. (7 plant based calories are needed to make 1 calorie of meat, and don't get me started on CO2.)

If enough people did that, they could have a greater total impact than all the vegans due to sheer numbers, and the current tiny percentage of vegans. Of course, once you do go vegan, you help to grow the movement, which encourages more people to become completely vegan.

The king’s plan was to take all of the animals and weaken the Indians. Since they are so brainwashed today, they don’t eat meat and most of them are vegetarian. You know, in the Sikh religion, it doesn’t even SAY you can’t eat beef, it was when one day the Indians were losing food and in the state of famine. They had to protect the cattle. So, over the years they never ate beef. Brainwashed, brainwashed and more brainwashing.
    Eating meat is healthy, if you look at most vegans they lack REAL protein and complex carbs in their diet. Most people say ‘they look so healthy and blah blah blah!.’ They really aren’t. I know many people go vegan because they need to lose weight, there are LITERALLY OTHER WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT! For example: Ketosis, ketosis means to rely on fat and your body FEEDS off of that fat in order to lose weight. My mom has been trying out carnivore, keto and ketosis and she seems to be benefiting.
    And if animals are raised sustainably and roaming free, when they die they decompose back into the earth. It’s how the eco-system is suppose to work. But, have your opinion I guess. Most people won’t read a long comment like this, but if you do…just think about it…

I just want to say if meat comes from the chicken cells it means a poor, voiceless animal suffer. So it is not ethical!
    Also, a plant-based diet is not veganism actually. There are Ethical Vegan people like me who stay away from any kind of animal products.

      ? A third is a a lot. It will be impossible to meet targets if we don't address it. Also, you could use that same argument against reducing emissions from everything - aviation is only a minority of emissions, cars are only a minority of emissions, home heating is only a minority of emissions, construction is only a minority of emissions...etc.If you dismiss reducing emissions from everything because each sector individually only makes up a minority of the total, then we'll never achieve the reductions we need to.
      Additionally, compared to the massive lifestyle and infrastructure shifts, and technological advancements, we'll need to reduce emissions in other sectors, not eating so much red meat is relatively easy.
