Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“And yet, eating a vegan diet still produces greenhouse gasses! Curious!”

On the flip side, meat tastes 20x better than vegetables.

Meat tastes like nothing special if it's not salted, marinated or eaten with gravy.

Since it isn't mentioned in the article, here is the reference: paper (2014)

In the study it even shows how driving a 10 years car for 6000 miles is rougly two years of saved emission with a meat->vegan switch.

I don't know, changing dietary is obviously good for the health, but these results seems to make pretty useless changes, use the bike and save twice as much.

EDIT: There is a new paper (2023), it is in a reply.

Yeah 4 times 0.0000000000000000000000001% of what the largest companies produce.

Do any of those companies help to produce beef?

Most companies create products to sell to consumers.

As usual, the title is clickbait. It's not "eating meat" that produces 4 times more greenhouse gases, it's a high-meat diet. Big difference that is conveniently left out of the title to get more clicks.
