Yes.

And some people in this space, they argue against this.

They say eating meat isn't actually that bad for the environment.

That's a myth.

Or they'll say, like, it's OK as long as you eat grass fed meat or you get meat that's farmed via regenerative agriculture.

We looked into this.

And, you know, Wendy, I just want to pull something out of the science versus storage closet that we haven't used in a while.

It's it's a little dusty.

Hopefully it still works.

No, that's not true.

Meat eating is bad for the environment, full stop.

Meat and dairy account for at least 12% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

Wow.

Grass-fed beef, this surprised me, it might actually be worse for emissions than feedlot-raised beef.

And that's basically because grass is a less efficient feed.

And then when it comes to regenerative agriculture, it's not anywhere near ready to offset the emissions caused by feeding and raising livestock.
