We must demand the governments switch to Mastodon instead.
Now that is a poetic ending
Eating a vegan diet could be the “single biggest way” to reduce your environmental impact on earth, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the University of Oxford found that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet could reduce an individual’s carbon footprint from food by up to 73 per cent.
It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements.
The production of animal-based foods is associated with higher greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than plant-based foods. The objective of this study was to estimate the difference in dietary GHG emissions between self-selected meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UK. Subjects were participants in the EPIC-Oxford cohort study. The diets of 2,041 vegans, 15,751 vegetarians, 8,123 fish-eaters and 29,589 meat-eaters aged 20–79 were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Comparable GHG emissions parameters were developed for the underlying food codes using a dataset of GHG emissions for 94 food commodities in the UK, with a weighting for the global warming potential of each component gas. The average GHG emissions associated with a standard 2,000 kcal diet were estimated for all subjects. ANOVA was used to estimate average dietary GHG emissions by diet group adjusted for sex and age. The age-and-sex-adjusted mean (95 % confidence interval) GHG emissions in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per day (kgCO2e/day) were 7.19 (7.16, 7.22) for high meat-eaters ( > = 100 g/d), 5.63 (5.61, 5.65) for medium meat-eaters (50-99 g/d), 4.67 (4.65, 4.70) for low meat-eaters ( < 50 g/d), 3.91 (3.88, 3.94) for fish-eaters, 3.81 (3.79, 3.83) for vegetarians and 2.89 (2.83, 2.94) for vegans. In conclusion, dietary GHG emissions in self-selected meat-eaters are approximately twice as high as those in vegans. It is likely that reductions in meat consumption would lead to reductions in dietary GHG emissions.
He needs to go vegan too but he’s much less likely that’s why we’re talking about Tim Walz as the left and centre on the political spectrum are more open towards veganism that’s has existed since 1944.
Tim Walz needs to go vegan.
Looks like Newscom is acting like a corporate democrat once again
There are lots of tasty vegan recipes. You should try them some time. You don’t know what you’re missing out.
He likes his power

7% of the 40% are the foolish following the dark triads.
Those evil vegans sharing food together.
Oh that’s interesting. I appreciate your sharp eye.
Unfortunately the official app is currently only being developed for android so I won’t be able to use it on my iPhone. I should try to support them more so they can get around to it quicker.
I would love to see a Canadian Peertube instance perhaps Fedecan may be able to look into it.
@admin@lemmy.ca
I would say both as Peertube needs an app and instances need to remain up and running.
Thank you for the recommendation, it’s time to try out Peertube once again.
Peertube vs Youtube in numbers: 21k / 2.7b
Yeah they need to improve quite a bit because the platform is harder to use in comparison to Lemmy and Mastodon.
Tradition is no excuse for exploiting and slaughtering the animals. Did you know slavery or stoning people to death were considered traditional practices.
Stop being a weak bystander and knock it off with defending the current day atrocities where pigs are being gassed, calves are separated from their mothers only to be placed in cages where they’re prevented from moving to keep their flesh tender for veal only to soon be slaughtered or male chicks being thrown straight into macerators as they’re considered worthless to the egg industry.
See how your food is made.
