Are you reacting to the thread title or the OP?

Because if you are reacting to the thread title, i agree.

If you are reacting to the OP, how so? Doesn't it make sense for the Ministry of the Environment to be as environmentally friendly as possible?

Considering:

"Animal agriculture is a leading cause of climate change and environmental degradation globally. Livestock like cattle produce methane as a byproduct of digesting their food, and methane is an incredibly potent greenhouse gas — 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20 year period. Globally, the livestock sector alone accounts for 14.5 percent of all human-related greenhouse gas emissions. And it’s not just the methane from cow burps or manure that contributes to animal agriculture’s carbon footprint, it’s the fossil fuels required to ship, process, package, and refrigerate the meat as well.

Animal agriculture also contributes to land and water degradation by encouraging the clearing of large tracts of land for livestock grazing and production of animal feed.

In Brazil, one of the world’s largest cattle producers, huge swaths of Amazon rain forest have been cut down to make way for cattle range land and soy plantations, meant to grow feed for cattle. And grazing can also lead to soil degradation, with the United Nations estimating that some 20 percent of the world’s grazing lands have become degraded since 1945. Degraded soil doesn’t hold nutrients as well as healthy soil, leading to increased agricultural and nutrient runoff and water pollution. And degraded soil also doesn’t store carbon as well as healthy soil, which in turn contributes to climate change.

A study released in August of 2015 went so far as to suggest that meat eaters are the number one cause of worldwide species extinction, due in part to habitat destruction fueled by animal agriculture."

Yes. All of the problems in Germany can be explained by people eating meat-free meals.

You're onto it, Hammer.

Nope, by lefty f wits who have filled their country up with terrorists and now want to tell us what to eat.

You know every single time you go to an organised function, you are "told" what to eat, don't you?

Yes, but meat is always on the menu. The world over people eat meat when they go out. Oh except for anaemic muppets like you.

You haven't traveled overseas, have you?

Not much, no. I've never been rolling in money like Pleasantville upstarts like you. In the western world people mostly eat meat. We don't have vegetarian menus forced upon us.

Forced upon you? Would it really challenge you so very much to eat a meal without meat?

You must have a tremendously unhealthy diet.

Not getting the protein and iron from meat is unhealthy Mothra. Do you find that you are tired all of the time?

Next they will ban termites. Then kangaroos. Wink

Yes of course. There are 1.5 billion kangaroos in world.

No but there are 28.7 million kangaroos in Australia

& that's shyte loads more than pre-colonisation.

Termites globally produce 20 million tonnes of methane.

What do you want to about that?

There are in excess of 75 million wild ruminants on the planet as well.

You & peccar talk more shyte than the combined total wild & domestic animals produce ....

not that their methane comes from their arzes .... it comes more from the animals mouths ....

just like you pair. Roll Eyes

People respond to diets differently. I'm robust and could live crap food and still do OK. I reckon I could live on vego food but when I've really been working out hard and eat a meat meal, it's like I can feel life energy flowing into me.

Mrs Gordy is high maintenance and if she doesn't get lean meat she just shuts down. And yes she knows about non meat diets, it just don't work for her.

Not quite every meal but then again I don’t host official functions.

Vergetarianism, no dairy and all that POOP is all crank science, fad diets and dangerous to peoples health.

Meat is tasty and nutritious. Yum!

Vegetarianism IS a crank diet!

Kids need the high protein of meat to develop body and brain.

My idiot sister went vegetarian. Scoffs eggs like they are going out of fashion. Does not drink dairy milk. Anemic and has osteoporoisis. Has a heap of additives to make up for the stupid decision to go vegetarian. Obviously needs protein but won’t make the obvious decision.

She is my sis. I REALLY hate the arsehats who promote vegetarian or vegan noo dairy etc. These promoters should be rounded up and shot. There will be a huge number of mainly women suffering severely from anemia and osteoporosis!

STUPID!
