13. “Sustainable meat” is NOT sustainable!
When grass fed, each animal needs to live longer because they don’t
mature as quickly on grass as they do on grain, which then uses more
resources.
Each animal will then produce more methane over this longer period of
time due to the extended time needed to digest grass over grain.
More land. More water. More carbon emissions. More energy.
This would also create extensive habitat loss due to loss of forests .
“We collectively raise, feed, water, kill and eat 70 billion animals a year
for food.” These animals deplete our resources and leave massive waste
and pollution.
-Comfortably Unaware, Dr. Richard A. Oppenlander
You cannot feed the world with sustainable meat!
