Grasslands are one of nature’s best carbon sinks, beef graze on these grasslands. If we opt for more plant based foods, and less beef, the demand will require more grasslands are broke in favour of cultivated land. This can vastly reduce carbon capture. On top of that, in order to work the cultivated land, there is lots of fossil fuels used.
I know I won’t be feeling guilty when I pull some AAA T-bone steaks out of the freezer!!
Might head over the the bbq thread now!!
Enjoy your Alberta beef everyone!

Buy switching to plant base your net calories per acre of plowed land increases. So any increase in plowed land required would need to be driven by increased food demand.
