"Methane production used to be viewed as a problem at cattle ranches and dairy farms, but methane itself is a highly energetic biogas that can be used as fuel. Harnessing it might prove difficult considering that current social graves do not favor open flatulence even for the sake of renewable energy. However, certain diets richer in alfalfa and flaxseed have been proven to reduce methane production in cows, which could potentially solve that problem (13)."

We simply should not farm cows to the levels we do, if at all

13% of Americans consume 50% of the steak

13% of the world's population owns 50% of the land

CW: talk of consuming animal meat

Yeah, even as someone who eats meat I agree with you. Meat production should definitely be down to what can be produced locally. It probably shouldn't be an everyday thing. 3 days a week max.

Lol I'm such a hypocrite. I'd have so much trouble giving meat up.

Honestly looking back historically, meat once a month wouldn't be strange
