Sorry, this is utter rubbish! The amount of rainforest and other woodland cleared for the growth of coconut and banana palms, coffee and especially GRAIN crops, which are now being used more and more for biofuel (which still produces CO2 when you burn it, unlike when you eat it) than for the food the world still desperately needs FAR outweighs that cleared for "meat crops".Everyone should really stop eating meat.
Having so much land cleared and used for cattle and sheep is bad for the planet.
Fruits, grains and vegetables are what we should be eating.
That said, I do enjoy an occasional hamburger.

There is a lot of rain forest being cleared in Brazil for cattleSorry, this is utter rubbish!

At home I eat veggie burgers, fake chicken or fake beef.Never going to happen though. I’m hoping they perfect the impossible burger and bring the price down. That or lab grown meat

They taste pretty good when you get used to them.
I will eat an occasional real meat hamburger maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks.
The only reason being I go to a restaurant that my daughter likes and all they serve is burgers.
I'm really not supposed to eat any red meat per my cardiologist.
It really does clog your arteries and will catch up with you sooner or later.
Production of quorn and fake chicken etc has a massive carbon footprint. If you're going to be a vegetarian be one.I used to date a vegetarian, which as Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction correctly says means I used to be a vegetarian. The veggie stuff is alright in its own right, but I can’t resist a bacon cheeseburger.

If god hadn't intended us to eat meat, he wouldn't have made it so tasty! Also, I tried to do my bit to help and wanted to grow my own food but I couldn't find any bacon seeds!

Putting a carrot into boiling water is effectively boiling it alive.
The thing about buring biofuels is fine, but when you eat the grain crops it's still environmentally unfriendly because you get more gas build up which is then expelled. This also includes methane which is a lot worse than CO2 in terms of climate change.
So if we do switch to a wholly plant based diet it won't be the cows farting us to death, it'll be us farting ourselves to death.
Coleslaw is murder!
I like the variation "If god had meant us to be vegetarians, he wouldn't have made animals out of meat"If god hadn't intended us to eat meat, he wouldn't have made it so tasty! Also, I tried to do my bit to help and wanted to grow my own food but I couldn't find any bacon seeds!
Cow burps not cow farts.
AFAIK the issue with plant based carbon is how long it’s been around. A plant that grows and is eaten in a year basically evens out but cutting down trees that have been capturing carbon for decades results in a spike. I think.
I take it that you are a well-balanced, educated and sane individual?Anybody watch the documentary about it (on the BBC, recommend you see it on iPlayer). Yet again market driven Toryism shown to harm the population, a national disgrace. Why anybody would vote for these scumbags is beyond me.
Alright don't (soya) milk itMy parents are now in their mid to late 60s and for the last 5 odd years have basically gone vegan.
There are plenty of ways in which you can cook decent vegan food that people would actually want to eat, you just have to get creative with it. The lentil chili recipe I sent around on here a couple of years ago is proof
I don't vote Tory if that's what you're sayingI take it that you are a well-balanced, educated and sane individual?
