[QUOTE="pdmjoker, post: 2203233, member: 468524"] People doing Low Carb often depend on red meat and dairy products. As has been highlighted on a forum thread already: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/and-so-it-begins-eat-less-meat-or-we%E2%80%99ll-make-you.171429/[/URL] the UK government’s official advisers, the Committee on Climate Change, have advised measures to "encourage" consumers to eat less read meat and dairy and advised that more trees should be planted. [CENTER][B]BUT have they got the science right?[/B][/CENTER] There appears to be an "unwillingness" for some people to see things as they really are. I recently heard this podcast "Farming: Finding A Way Through Climate Crisis". It's all good, but if you listen from 7m 3s in for about 2.30 minutes you will hear how dairy farming IF DONE CORRECTLY causes carbon capture: [URL]https://lifeissues.podbean.com/e/30th-nov-farming-finding-a-way-through-climate-crisis/[/URL] Quote from podcast: "It's not whether we farm animals but how we farm them". This isn't new. Some preliminary results can be found here: [URL]http://eatwild.com/environment.html[/URL] if you scroll down to "Finishing cattle on pasture may reduce greenhouse gasses" and the graph. (Arable farming requires artificial fertilisers, I gather the production of which uses fossil fuels. Cows naturally fertilise the grass themselves.) However, as we know from Global Warming, some people will not accept the (for them uncomfortable) truth however much data and evidence is provided... [/QUOTE]
