'Give Up Your Meat to Save Earth': NYT

If we all go vegan, Australia could have 1 or 2 billion citizens, all living in 15 minute cities!

You will start to believe that you are nothing more than the sum of your greenhouse gas emissions if you read too much of the New York Times.

The Times reported at the weekend that …

“People who eat a plant based diet account for 75 per cent less gas emissions than those who eat meat.”

Okay. And???

People who eat nothing at all produce 100 per cent less gas emissions than people who eat food. What of it?

Stop eating and save the planet!

Isn’t that the ultimate conclusion? Fewer people means less emissions. This is a soft take on genocide. Soon we'll be entering Soylent Green territory.

Or what about this … people who aren't billionaires flying around on private jets complaining about climate change account for 99.9999 per cent less emissions than those who are.

Anyway, I want to do my bit to save the earth from catastrophic climate change. So just tell me again, how many steaks do I need to give up to compensate for every new Chinese coal-fired power station that comes on line?

Also, how does ‘eat more plants in order to reduce the amount of plant food in the atmosphere’ work exactly?

Plants grows better with CO2. I eat meat so vegans have more food. I enjoy a good steak out of my love and care for vegans!

Speaking of vegans, whatever emissions reduction they achieve by not eating meat they more than make up for with all the weed they smoke.

But back to my own heroic efforts at reducing emissions by eating, rather than avoiding, meat. When I eat meat I’m helping to kill cows and thus reducing the green house gases that come from said cows. I resent being judged for eating a juicy steak. I deserve a medal.

Bottom line, I’m willing to do whatever our global elites say I must do in order to save the planet.

Just think, if we all give up meat, Australia could have 1 or 2 billion citizens, all living in 15 minute cities, all voting for a Labor/Green alliance, enjoying daily Welcome to Country’s and regularly participating in compulsory LGBTQ Pride Parades. Giving up wagyu is a small price to pay for the chance to experience the progressive left’s promised utopia!
