But the bigger issue is the amount of environmental destruction beef farming has on the planet. Why don’t we stop that instead?

[-] Katerberg@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Apple doesn’t have much control of that.

[-] blazera@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Anyone that buys cow products has control of it

[-] balder1991@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

But then, if it depends on customers to collectively stop buying something, we’re doomed already.

One less animal product consumer prevents the deaths of many animals. You’re using the all or nothing fallacy.

Because there isn’t a good alternative to red meat?

You can’t get the same amount of amino acids that you can with meat without consuming 1000s of excess calories.

Also iron from plants is hardly bioavailable.

[-] BEZORP@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well vegans do it, so it must be available enough

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

soylent would like to have a word.

[-] Mister@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I tried it, that stuff runs right through me. It’s highly processed junk.

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I get like half my calories from it

[-] Mister@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

You should do a blood test with your doctor, for science!

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

it will probably be a year before I get around to that

but I'll let you know

[-] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Have you tried beyond burgers they taste just like the real thing and so humanity can skip the cruelty of lining cows in a narrow chute and slaughtering them unceremoniously.

[-] Mister@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 year ago

Those are junk. Not healthy at all.

[-] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Research says red meat isn’t for your heart health

[-] Mister@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Excessive red meat you mean? Same goes for excessive fried potatoes. Everything in moderation

[-] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Red meat is also a class A2 carcinogen byw.

[-] Mister@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So is glyphosate which is used to grow many plant based food crops.

Hot beverages are another that have the same classification.

[-] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Same goes for processed plant based products if you want healthy tasty meals there’s plenty of whole food planted based recipes out there for you to try.

[-] Mister@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

I can’t get the iron I need from plants alone. Plant-based iron has very low bioavailability. I will always eat meat for health reasons since iron deficiency runs in my family.
