“Fortunately, we know many ways we can make the food system more resilient while reducing food emissions. The biggest opportunity in high-income nations is a reduction in meat consumption and exploration of more plants in our diets,” said Dr. Paul Behrens, an associate professor of environmental change at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
Honestly, most people in the modern West eat more meat than is healthy anyway.
Turns out hunter-gatherers haven’t evolved to eat meat every meal, three meals a day, all their lives.
That’s because the general population tried to imitate the rich when the standard of living increased, and the rich in general loved to hunt and eat lots of meat.
As someone who lost 40kg by just eating mostly meat (one year meat for lunch, salami for dinner), I’d argue it’s healthier than the stuff that’s advertised to be healthy.
wanna build muscle? well, eating pasta and salad every day won’t get you very far.
Sure, there are other protein sources, but let’s be honest, nothing is more nutritional, efficient (and delicious) than meat.
I think we should really focus on the truely unhealthy shit that’s out there in the supermarkets, and not on meat.
You should study up on that vegan body builder, though I’m afraid that I don’t recall his name. Remember that when you digest the meat, you are reducing back to its amino acids which your body can put back together into new proteins. The same thing happens when you digest plant matter–you reduce the plant proteins into amino acids which your body then puts back together into its own proteins.
Sure, but there’s the thing called PDCAAS, kind of a digestibility index for protein sources. in other words, how much of that protein can the body actually digest, the rest of it just gets pooped out.
And many plant based sources have a lower score, with a few exceptions.
Then, there’s the cost factor too, best bang for the buck.
While I’m sure it’s possible, the fact that it’s “that vegan body builder” instead of the norm should be a clue on how generally effective it is. Personally I don’t eat a lot of meat, and of the meat I do eat, most is seafood, but I won’t deny that meat is the easiest way to get the nutrients you need. It’s also a lot more filling than carbs.
There’s one dude who made a big youtube channel on the topic. Don’t know if he’s still around. His whole shtick was helping obese people get into shape by teaching them his diet and workout routines.

You guys eating meat for breakfast or something?
Sausage, bacon, or ham are fairly standard
I don’t know why, but I was picturing meat in cereal. Bacon is life
No one is stopping you from putting bacon in your cereal.
Bdya-bdya-bdya-That’s gross folks!
Cereal is more of a dessert in my books. I’m very much a savoury breakfast person.
Breakfast steak is the most important steak of the day
That and bread, yes.

I am not biting into a mouthwatering slab of beef to imitate the rich.
You missed the part in the comment about how it was your ancestors that started the trend.
I didn’t, I disregarded it. Tell me the name of a MY ancestor who started that trend and where they were born.
What a strange assertion to make as if you and your predecessors somehow remained separate from everyone else.
Waiting for the name.
No, you are making a low effort attempt at a troll and not really hitting the mark.
Another claim about me.
Exactly. You should really be eating a lot of roots, nuts, leaves, and berries then occasionally catch something that can run from you.
to be fair they only had to work four to six hours a day so they needed less calories
What is considered healthy in your opinion?

I was actually confused because there’s thousands of vegan body builders

Visit non-India Asia and get back to me. I don’t know how anyone can be vegetarian there just as a general practice.
