Protip: Range-grazed meat tastes better. All of the freedom and happiness that the meat enjoyed whilst alive makes it juicier and more delicious.
the most unsustainable type of meat
Yet another person who has no idea of how their food is produced.
30 month grass fed beef especially on hills where crops cannot be grown is totally sustainable.
The beef is of exceptional quality and fetches a good premium.
It is ecologically sound farming, the shit from the cattle helps fertilizes the ground and sustains insect life and beetles which are in turn food for birds and bats.
It is kind too, the calves often run and suckle with their mothers for 9 months, all the cattle have a happy life grazing outdoors in summer.
Go work on a farm for a year, burning 5000 calories a day and see how you survive on a vegan diet.
Meanwhile stack those Satoshis and you'll have a bright future ahead.
There's quite literally not enough land in this world for everyone to eat free range meat, maybe "unsustainable" is the wrong word to describe it, I'm not sure. English isnt my first language.
Either way, im still pretty sure its not ecologically sound at all
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24216416/ This study says that the greenhouse gas emissions were 30% higher for grassfeed beef than other kinds.
Due to grass fed beef taking 30 months to maturity instead of 18 months on an intensive system.
The emissions are from methane - cattle belch a lot - they are basically living fermentation vessels.
The organic stuff (shit) that they return to the soil locks up more carbon than than the effects of the methane.
What else you going to do with hills with thin often acid soil where you will not grow carrots or lentils.
Those beautiful grazed landscapes you see from the highway are not there by chance.
PS we are still coming out of the last Ice Age, and Earth would be warming up, albeit at a slower pace, with or without human activity. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions we can definitely slow this process but not stop it.
Global cooling would be more catastrophic, check out how far the ice sheets extended not that long ago.
