If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. Also, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
I thought pork was red meat
Sorta. Maybe best to ignore advertising quotes.
Producing beef outputs a lot more greenhouse gases than pork, and chicken is less than either one. Fruit and vegetables are less than any of them.
None of these are better than the others for how they treat the animals. Unnecessary brutality all around. It would not cost that much to treat them with some level of ethics, and if that small cost reduces how much meat people eat, that’s probably a good thing.
Yes, it’s considered Red meat because of it’s Myoglobin content.
Pork is famously ‘the other white meat’ according to an old advertising campaign.
health-wise it’s red meat but culinarily it’s white meat, it’s wonderfully simple and easy to understand
