Political DBag Hall of Fame

I've watched many BBC documentaries, and I've come to the conclusion that deforestation is a lot larger issue when it comes to climate change than our carbon footprint.... Obviously, there's a relationship there as well.

Everything adds up my dude. City scapes and deforestation make an impact. Tilling up praries or cutting down forests to plant crops have an impact. An increase in livestock has an impact. Combustion engines and fossil fuel power generation have an impact.

I suppose, but wiping out our built in carbon eaters seems especially stupid.

 
I love beef and don't plan to live without it, but if you listen to smart people talk about eliminating the cow/beef chain, the environmental benefits are pretty stunning. 

It's not just the farts, mind you, it's the amount of resources required to make every edible pound, and the ripple effect from there. Doesn't make much sense strictly from a business standpoint.

I thought my first Impossible Burger was pretty impressive. Still not ready to cross that bridge.

I think eliminating CAFO's and putting beef back onto pasture where their waste provides fertilization is the way forward. Impossible Burger is plant-based and requires nitrogen fertilizers that comes from natural gas and contributes to carbon dioxide emissions.

Yeah, the issue is with the demand of  a world containing 10 billion people (or whatever). Innovation will fix it eventually, I'm sure.

 
I don't honestly care what my beef is made of. If it's made of beef, I'll eat it. Tastes good.

If they can make crickets smell, feel & taste like beef, fine. I'll eat that. I don't care.

Generally speaking I'd like to have the most environment-friendly solution. Just make it taste good.

Not to mention the crazy sodium intake from eating that stuff.

Oh they already have the answer for that. It's insects. Billions of people already eat them. Nobody mourns their death. God keeps making them by the trillions. 

Salty, crunchy, protein rich insects.

Gonna be a hard sell in the U.S.
