The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Inside big beef’s climate messaging machine: confuse, defend and downplay (www.theguardian.com)

The world can't afford the rise in global beef consumption that experts predict - while wealthier nations, whose residents have the most emissions-intensive diets, could make rapid climate gains by choosing to eat less.

This narrative is one that industry-aligned interests badly want to extinguish. Through blog posts, videos, educational assets, op-eds, TV ads, social media campaigns, trained influencers and other channels - many described here for the first time - the industry is trying to convince us all of what the science definitely doesn't show: that dietary change has no role in climate strategy.

Yeah or literally make stuff up like regenerative pasture. Creating pasture for animals desertified our species native ranges across the cradle of civilization in africa and west asia in a short few thousand years of agriculture it after hundreds of thousands of years of existing in that same region foraging. Now we're doing the same process on an industrial scale to the rest of the world.
