Why is it, meat seems to be the latest ail to climate change?
No one wants to talk about getting people of hyper-processed food stuff, HFCS, exercise, or our super size portions.

The global powers that be are making too much money to point to overly processed junk food as bad. Besides, the over-indulgence by Western society of that garbage keeps the rabble sedated in concert with the addition of all those pharmaceuticals being prescribed hand over fist by the medical community. Its for our own good, you know.
Its always interesting in articles like the one on food always include some faceless group with big titles but never identifies exactly who they are. Too many are not paying attention to the ruse being worked on them regarding this “global warming, cooling, man-caused climate change” BS. Its all part of the globalist/communist agenda to wrest power and control from all of us! Not they are targeting the production of MEAT! Seriously? They never mention a reduction in unnecessary air travel or all those corporate jets flying the “elites” around so they can pontificate to the rest of us on how we all have to change the way we live. Al Gore’s house uses enough power to supply a small town as does Streisand’s in her palatial Malibu ‘digs’ with personal security detail. People just need to wake the hell up!

Actually, the report does have a focus on that area. You just have to click through ZeroHedge and then again through the linked Web site, and then again through the IAP site to finally get to the report. Healthy diets are a big recommendation, along with how to convince people to eat healthy rather than eating Velveeta cheese and hot dogs on white bread heated in a microwave like I did in my ’20s.
What they didn’t address is the expense factor. Factory made food, while less healthy, is significantly cheaper than buying the makings of a salad. And growing the makings of a salad, especially year round, is really expensive since you have to provide a summertime photoperiod to the plants.
And since money is tight and getting tighter, I don’t see a massive movement of people making the investment necessary to shift their diet. Instead, they’ll keep on with the beer and chips and say they’re exercising their individual freedom to do as they choose.
I call it natural selection in action.

Here’s a thought, why don’t we just put the farmers back on their land in places like South Africa, Zim, Venezuala and Argentina?
Give them their stolen lands back and pay them a fair price for their products. Zim alone once fed the majority of Africa but now imports everything and depends upon subsidies ftom the rest of the world.
Too radical I’m sure.

American “farmers” in the Midwest are concerned with growing tens of thousands of acres of corn for ethanol production. Its a lucrative business with large government subsidies.
While processed foods with all the chemical preservatives is indeed cheaper, it is also a health wrecker when consumed daily, which is what has happened. People, for whatever reason, do not cook from scratch where they can control what goes into the food. They don’t even have to eat organic, although best. Just fresh vegetables and limited amounts of fresh meats and dairy. Cut out the sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and vegetable oils loaded with omega six fats. People are too lazy to cook from scratch and most no longer even know how to. Its much easier to pop some frozen processed something into the micro-wave or oven.
In my household we eat Keto, which is a high fat/low carb diet. We do buy organic whenever we can, including grass-fed and finished meats and raw milk. Yes, it costs more. But for us the health benefits are worth it even if we have to cut elsewhere.
