It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When it comes to meat, buying local won’t make much of a dent in your carbon footprint. Most food-related emissions come from the meat itself, not how far it travels to get to your house. The most effective way to curb your food-related emissions is to eat more plants instead.
