My family realized that most meals we have meat was just kind of an unnecessary element? Cut out meat and it was still delicious.
Our meat consumption dropped to ground turkey once a month and beef maybe once every 6 months when our to eat? i really feel like limiting is the way to go for most people, but too many suggest all or nothing.
Simply being selective with meat can go a long way as well. Cattle grazing on regenerative farms is in a completely different category from generic CAFO beef from the grocery store (at least if you’re in the US). The main issue is finding it locally.
And yes it’s more expensive, but also more nutritionally dense so you end up using less anyway. Plus it actually tastes like beef. We should be paying more for meat IMO, considering the resources going into its production.
I really need to stop making excuses and stop eating meat. I think I’m going to start tomorrow. I dunno why but this thread really is motivating me.
Give the plant based meats a try, like Impossible meat or Quorn. They’re astonishingly good now, and have completely replaced animal meat for me.
Beans are cheaper and delicious
Even if you don’t go meatless, dropping or severely limiting beef is a huge start.

I feel like meat only on weekends would be a pretty great compromise for the near term.
If enough people did that, meat would stop being the default with every meal and it’d end up easier to go farther.
And I think people are more likely to stick with a dramatic reduction than to go all the way.

Grass fed cattle uses way more land and resources and produce more emissions than the efficient hell on earth we call “intensive life stock farming”.
