    But the bigger issue is the amount of environmental destruction beef farming has on the planet. Why don’t we stop that instead?

        But it does reduce the profitability of beef. Thus reducing operations and preventing more carbon.

          Unless it’s reducing the demand for beef, I’m not sure how it’s going to shrink the operations. Beef might just get more expensive if they need to compensate for reduced leather demand.

            One less animal product consumer prevents the deaths of many animals. You’re using the all or nothing fallacy.

        Have you tried beyond burgers they taste just like the real thing and so humanity can skip the cruelty of lining cows in a narrow chute and slaughtering them unceremoniously.

              Excessive red meat you mean? Same goes for excessive fried potatoes. Everything in moderation

                  So is glyphosate which is used to grow many plant based food crops.

                  Hot beverages are another that have the same classification.

                  I can’t get the iron I need from plants alone. Plant-based iron has very low bioavailability. I will always eat meat for health reasons since iron deficiency runs in my family.
