A study finds…
Like, experts agree or the science is settled it is an appeal to authority that triggers the reader into accepting whatever hogwash follows, as if it were Holy writ.
Men’s meat-heavy diets cause 40% more climate emissions than women’s, study finds
Research also shows 25% of diet-related emissions are from ‘optional’ food and drinks, such as coffee, alcohol and cake
Men’s meaty diets are responsible for 40% more climate-heating emissions than those of women, according to a UK study.
The research also found a quarter of diet-related emissions were from “optional” food and drink, such as coffee, alcohol, cakes and sweets. The scientists said policies to encourage sustainable diets should focus on plant-based foods but switching drinks and cutting down on sweet snacks presented further opportunities.
A second study found in western countries, vegan and vegetarian diets were about a third cheaper to buy than regular diets, which the researchers said contrasted with the perception that they were the “preserve of a privileged middle class”.
Food production causes 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and previous studies have shown that meat-eating in rich countries must be sharply reduced in order to tackle the climate crisis, largely caused by the methane and deforestation associated with cattle. But these studies have looked at the average emissions of broad food categories.
The new study, published in the journal Plos One, analysed the emissions linked to more than 3,200 specific food items and examined the diets of 212 British people, who recorded their food and drink intake over three 24-hour periods. It found animal products were responsible for almost half of the average diet’s greenhouse gas emissions: 31% from meat and 14% from dairy. Drink caused 15% of emissions and 8% came from cakes, biscuits and confectionery.
The research also showed that non-vegetarian diets created 59% more emissions than vegetarian diets. Men’s diets had 41% more emissions, largely due to eating more meat but also due to more drinks.
“We all want to do our bit to help save the planet,” said the scientists, led by Holly Rippin, at the University of Leeds. “Working out how to modify our diets is one way we can do that. There are broad-brush concepts like reducing our meat intake, particularly red meat, but our work also shows that big gains can be made from small changes, like cutting out sweets.”
Rippin said the research did not assess why men ate more meat. “But we can speculate that it could be because men generally eat more food than women,” she said. “We could also speculate that men may eat more traditional meat-based diets.”
Another recent study found that men’s spending on goods caused 16% more emissions than women’s, despite the sum of money being very similar, mostly due to higher spending on petrol and diesel for cars.
The scientists’ database also includes 40,000 branded food items, and they said that future research could allow people to cut their food emissions by swapping brands.
The study analysing the costs of different diets was published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health. It compared seven sustainable diets to the current typical diet in 150 countries using food prices from the World Bank.
It found that in high-income countries, vegan diets were the most affordable, reducing food costs by 21-34% compared to average diets, depending on specific food choices. Vegetarian diets were a close second, with 27-31% reduction in cost.
A flexitarian diet, with low amounts of meat and dairy, reduced costs by 14%, but fish-based pescatarian diets actually increased costs by 2%. The study focused on whole foods and did not include highly processed meat replacements or eating at restaurants or takeaways.
“We think the fact that vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets can save you a lot of money is going to surprise people,” said Marco Springmann, at the University of Oxford, who led the second study. “When scientists like me advocate for healthy and environmentally-friendly eating it’s often said that we’re sitting in our ivory towers promoting something that is financially out of reach for most people. This study shows that it’s quite the opposite. These diets could be better for your bank balance as well as your health and the health of the planet.”
A recent survey for WWF found that more than 70% of Britons believed people should eat food that was better for the environment, but 65% said sustainable options were too expensive.
Current average diets in rich nations do not align with nutritional guidelines, with meat-eating higher than recommended levels. Both the new studies confirm previous work that healthy diets are also lower-emission diets.

Bread and water…..in our global prison.
They are pushing faggotry, not health. That was quickly obvious. Grains and processed food are not healthy. That leaves meat, fruit, vegetables. Anything else is just gluttony and survival. You can’t skip meat and animal products and be healthy. Not without creating a circus full of hoops or some genetic lottery.
God put us here to STEWARD the Earth. Good stewards take care of their health. You know these Luciferians demons have to turn everything upside down and invert it. Take care of yourself and then you are free to take care of your environment, not the planet’s. These clowns are both ignorant and evil to set people down insane paths to nowhere.
My creator gave me canine teeth. If I remember correctly canine teeth are used for gnawing. I don’t see any need to gnaw tofu and such other crap so maybe in another 10 or 20 thousand years of evolution humans will not be endowed with useless canines.
REV’R’ND!
My take-away is that if men stop drinking alcohol and eating meat, they’ll turn into women.
Interesting – You may be on to something there.
Some already have Iska.
As an ovo-lacto vegetarian for 45+ years with the last 13 being pescatarian, perhaps I can disabuse you of some of your assertions while agreeing with a lot of what you write here and in other posts below.
I do not get into the morality of meat eating. Like the vaccine mandates, that is your business and a product of your conclusions as to personal health, ethical concerns, etc. I have my choices and you are welcome to yours. What I know is that my entire immediate family passed well before the age I am now, 72. None were big on alcohol, none smoked, all were meat eaters to one degree or another. All had diet related cancers. I was fortunate in having an easily upset stomach since I was a kid. When I gave up red meat, I noticed an immediate improvement in my wellbeing. It wasn’t hard for me to give it up, I felt so much better I was glad to. I went on within a short time to give up poultry, pork and fish. The seafood I added again in later years as noted.
My suggestion to everyone: instead of getting hung up on vegetarian or omnivore, get the highest quality food that you choose to consume. Meat that is not the feedlot fed antibiotic blockbuster that is found in most supermarket cases. Certified organic foods, as much as you can find and afford. As mentioned below, butter for all your cooking and eliminate seed oils like soy, safflower, canola, peanut, etc. Butter is the way to go. If you need a deep fryer plus oil for food you like, you may want to re-channel that urge.
I have not had any inoculation in 13 years. I have never been on continuous medication and take only vitamins, no prescription drugs whatsoever. While I was disposed to avoid unnecessary medical practice before, the Covid years have pushed me into avoiding “healthcare” for all but traumatic injury. We are bombarded by the medical industrial complex in fixating on “health” and to sign up for a never-ending stream of bulletins, programs, apps, trackers, helps, guidance, cutting edge news etc, all focused on ways to get us wrapped around thinking about dangers to us and how intermediaries can save us. Fuck them. Go out in the world and try to find those who deserve help…and help them. Stay busy, stay calm, stay mentally engaged. Block calls and texts from all the “experts”; you don’t need them if you take care of yourself the way you know you should. They can’t help you if you insist on blowing yourself up.
There is no formula that says vegetarians are soyboys and meat eaters are real men. What you eat is your fuel, don’t make it an ideological fortress.
I hope this helps clarify some of the issues from the perspective of a person who would not change one thing about my decision 45 years ago to forego meat. It probably saved my life. I’m not trying to convince you to do the same. I’m just telling you that your premise needs examining.
And because you’re supposed to leave them laughing…
Two cannibals were sitting around a campfire, eating the last of the clown they had for dinner. One of them turned to the other and said, “Does this taste funny to you?”
Bon appétit!
Too, the cannibals can damage the human biology such that meat, fats, caffeine, alcohol, are no longer digestible _ or even tolerable _ & eating them can then, circularly, induce more damage, pain & suffering (even as not eating them does, only more slowly). Some of these people are premeditating scum. Most of them are just dumb (the dumbest, most self-satisfied, motherfuckers ~ fathers, sons & daughters, too ~ I have ever dealt with are doctors…). But they’ve been to college, & so can prove that last assertion false.
Personal & Experience begat a child & named him Antipersonnel Mine. Tunes like that are sometimes inspired after she got the goldmine & I got the shaft.
That’s why cannibals don’t eat clowns – they taste funny.
“There is no formula that says vegetarians are soyboys and meat eaters are real men. What you eat is your fuel, don’t make it an ideological fortress.”
I would disagree with this statement. There are basically two types of animals on this planet, the grass eaters which eat vegetation, and the meat eaters, who eat the grass eaters….. That fact would obviously suggest natural a dietary hierarchy.
Our brains evolved as they did due to a high fat content diet. The human brain needs lots of fat to function and grow. Animal fat. Our natural diet is meats, fungus, fruits, and vegetables. Grains are just grass and not our natural diet.
“They are pushing faggotry, not health”.
Yea buddy…great post…have you seen the McDonalds commerical of two duds kissing yet?
No, I haven’t seen it, and I really don’t want to see it. Just knowing that it exists is just another reason to avoid McDonald’s. They had decent coffee at one time, but now even their coffee tastes horrible.
McDonald’s doesn’t serve food.
Given what we know now about authority/the state and our health, it is fair to assume that whatever they are trying to steer us away from is probably the healthiest for us. Like hugs, social contact and meat. You know, the kind that derives from real animals.
Like butter. One of the best sources for multiple nutrients and its full matrix is actually good for your vascular health, but the scientists thought the opposite because they only broke it down into parts to study.
Yes. My grandmother used to call it “good butter.” As in:” I made that cake with good butter.” It was a source of pride of using only the best ingredients and it was implied that the alternative (vegetable oil, margarine etc) was inferior.
Margerine-started out as feed for hogs. Killed the hogs. Our investment is gone! Nope! Add yellow food color! I can’t believe it’s not butter! BARF!
There was a big controversy over margarine at Iowa State back when it was new. It lead to a large number of liberal arts and sciences faculty defecting to the University of Chicago, because you are not winning that battle in the middle of farm country.
Margarine came on the scene about the same time as plastics. If you continue to heat margarine at high heat, it will turn into a plastic-like substance and margarine has an almost identical molecular structure to plastic.
I figure TPTB said, “Hey, let’s get the sheep to eat this and it will kill them off faster”. Health degenerated after people switched to fake butter, and that is a fact. The CULL started long before Covid came on the scene.
Yeah. But cull isn’t really the point. Nothing is more “profitable” than war. Let’s you & him fight, all the time (without eponymous youhim even knowing they are fighting most of the time) ~ & “we” will sell you, both of you, all the matériel you simply must have to “win.”
The “war of all against all” the apologist Hobbes lied his ass off about, on behalf of the same scum as now, is, in fact, institutionalized, made poetic & noble & patriotic & feel-good & every other tell-‘em-what-they-want-to-hear faery-story under the sun.
The classic fatty scene from The Graduate:
.
They broke it into parts to promote their vegetable counterpart which is hydrogenated oil (which is highly dangerous, even more dangerous than bacon grease).
If I’m not mistaken, in ancient China it was considered medicinal rather than just a food. One of the biggest lies ever told about food safety was that margarine was better for you than butter. 100% untrue and very detrimental to your health.
And can we mention egg yolks here? Another one of Nature’s miracle foods that was marked as harmful due to the misinformation about cholesterol and arterial deposits. So we get a generation of highly processed low-fat/low cholesterol boxed material that only resembles food cosmetically.
Trust the Science…of Food Industry Research /s
Nothing says “HEALTHY” like bacon!
add TASTY!
Bacon is good for you, 6 pieces with 4 eggs fried in butter or bacon fat, cut cantaloupe hold the toast and your in there. Your body will thank you it.
Why do Merikans get these strips of fatty low grade part if the pig while Europeans and Canucks get bacon that is 99% lean meat? Is it because we will settle for crap food while the rest of the world knows what real food should look like and taste like? How did this come about?
Freud’s nephew Edward Louis Bernays: the Demon Marketeer.
Well, there are people who *know* they are so good, in their own heads, that they have zero motivation to actually be good “out there” aka the world, reality. And the pitchers of exceptionalism, manifest destiny & all the various brands of KY jelly know – actually know – that that lube tastes great & can never be filling enough for those more than self-satisfied types who nonetheless can never get enough validation, aka their tickets punched.
What a load of cow shit.
Cow shit smells earthy and makes good fertilizer. This is more like the stuff pumped out of a porta-potty.
Used by vegans only!
Why do you think the Left is referred to as “blue?…”
Horse shit is a better match, A farm raised boy knows the difference.
Could be horsemanure
All of which is based upon anthropogenic global warming/climate change, which is a fraud.
Interesting choice of photograph for an article promoting the consumption of soybeans.
(The man that looks like a Yorkshire pig)
Hmmmm. Doritos (from the picture). I eat them, but I am under no illusion that they might be good for me.
Was able to find some Nacho Cheese Doritos, which are horrible for my health (or anybody’s health for that matter) but I still bought three packs of them. I’m in France this is why it’s difficult.
Actually it’s the person the Yorkshire pig is with that they were highlighting. That woman was on the British Baking show and baked all vegan shit. It was in fact so bad they kicked her off the show quite early in the competition.
Eat soy everyday and look like that pencil dick faggot. Or is that a chic?
Anything that starts off with climate change is going to be pure bullshit straight out of the gate. Americans admittedly eat shit for the most part.
Animal Proteins, Butter, Eggs, Fats, High Fiber, Low Carbohydrate foods are key to good health.
In other words: Eat the way God intended for us to eat and one day you may see your pecker again, without looking the mirror.
Men… forever the villains in a feminized save-the-planet world.
Especially the white men who are responsible for all the social ills and evil in the world today and the past, obviously. or so we’re told
Nice save. Next up it will be men who are fathers. Nothing says bumbling idiot to the Feminized Cult of the Expert more than fatherhood.
Pretty much what you’d expect coming out of the UK. The good news is the moar they push fake news narratives the moar people wake up. Its been years now since I’ve come to the conclusion that anything from officialdom is probably BS. Glad moar are seeing the light.
Welcome to the vacuous vegan mantra designed to eliminate all male existence. I raised two boys and could see this crap 25 years ago start to develop. Tried to fight against it, but eventually homeschooled, and I’m so proud of those men today.
This article well-illustrates the grand delusion some are under and the refusal to research and consider the truth.
Thanks for posting, Hardscrabble.
That right there tells the whole story… That what follows isn’t data driven but narrative/agenda…
There is so much to learn that at the end of data you find opinions on many topics. That is part of science. The arguments are more about what to research next than anything, everyone wants others to follow their pet hypothesis, because you can’t test them all yourself. She cares more about funding than what you eat.
Publish or perish is the corporate ‘scientists’ mantra. They are all for sale.
You will not find what you are not looking for, and you will only show what you are being paid for… They appeal to their own authority, as ‘scientists’, and count on your ignorance and cowardice to doubt them.
Study Finds 97% Of Statements Following ‘Experts Say’ Are Completely Made Up
U.S.—In a groundbreaking study of over 328 million statements given by experts over the last 10 years, researchers discovered that 97% of those statements were totally made up.
https://babylonbee.com/news/study-finds-97-of-statements-following-experts-say-are-completely-made-up/
I suspect an actual study would find the numbers to be substantially higher.
All those “tiny home” shows were there to get people used to hearing outrageous prices for homes the size of outhouses. “Going vegan” because it’s cheaper is just preparing us to eat grass with the rabbits and pigs because we can no longer afford meat.
When you’re out hunting, save a round or two for the people who write this kind of screed!
…It’s funny how all these prancing fairies tell us how much humans are hurting the climate, but none of them want to be first in line to get out of the gene pool…
Managed decline of our standard of living, as the globalists pivot to China.
Those pushing the overpopulation narrative should lead by example!
They NEVER do… weird huh…
I have applied for a 1 millon dollar government grant to study mosquito farts this winter. Results of my study will be released by June 1, 2022.
mosquito’s fart in the winter? okay, now I don’t believe you.
No it true… farts are easier to see in the winter so it makes perfect sense…
Balbinus I would personally volunteer to assist you for a small fee as I feel I’m qualified and have several degrees.
Studies show winter farts are easier to observe.
One study found that while mosquito farts are more easily seen in winter, mosquitoes do tend to fart more in summertime.
So, how many degrees Celsius does the global temperature go up for each cup of “optional” coffee that I drink? Since “the science is settled”, we should be able to break it down, right?
I expect that they’ll be able to put a label on food in the near future that denotes it’s global warming impact. Then, naturally, they’ll tax it.
I’ll take my steak medium rare, please.
I will take the “study” into consideration……meanwhile! I will be picking up a 1/4 butchered grass fed cow (125+ lbs of meat!) next month to add to the freezer. Looking forward to it!!!
The narrative being pushed is religious in fervour.
I think they are trying to say that men “fart” more than women when we eat meat, but I am willing to say that all farts are created equal regardless of their food source or who rips them…. Long live eating meat. There is not a vegan anything in my future if I have any say. No tofukey here!
As a woman who does occasionally have emissions, I demand fart equity.
I will continue to eat meat even if its a squirrel on a stick over a fire. Hot sauce makes everything better IMO.
I respect your decision. As a vegetarian, I feel I must counter the rampant misinformation about vegetarianism. Yes, I believe I must become activist in this regard.
Available soon in bookstores everywhere, my magnum opus: RULES FOR RADISHES.
I see what you did there.
Good one.

Guess she forgot Shakespeare. Sound & fury, signifying nuthin’.
Vlad, I don’t care….really. You can eat whatever you want and I’ll eat meat. I don’t care what you think.
I think it odd that the far majority of man bun, tight jean types all consume soy products the most. Could it be all that estrogen be a factor??? naaaahhh its white supremacy, thats gotta be it…
The cows will stop farting if Bill Gates stops feeding them Monsanto GMO beans!
I will tell you what will cause global fucken climate emissions rising: my fucken flamethrower roasting commie fucken assholes and their commie fucken friends and their commie fucken houses and their commie fucken families.
If they want lower emissions then they should shut their fucken cock garages to quit spewing all their methane laced bullshit.
Meat-based diets causing emissions. The only meat I have that emits anything is my dick and I wouldnt piss on any of those fucken bipedal shit demons if they were on fire.
As usual, eat a fucken dick and fuck right off if you think meat is causing globull climate stupidity.
ZFG, out.
P.S. EAT MORE OPPOSUM!
Fucked if the real pandemic isnt cranial-rectal insertion syndrome.
If they really want to stop emissions then stop breeding and stop breathing. They will be doing us real humans a favor.
ZFG- I hope to God I never REALLY piss you off. 🙂
Lol. Naw. Only dick bags trying to force their bullshit and hang ups on me and mine tend to set me off.
ZFG, out.
The Insane Clown Posse speaks! Pretending “$cience”.
Meanwhile … more “emissions” (CO2) > more plants grow > more oxygen > more food > more life … something wrong with this picture?

If we are ever able to get a handle on the education of our children, we should make the study of Logical Fallacy the educational equivalent to math or history. It amazes me how many people are influenced by the use of logical fallacy, and the extent to which it is used to control an ignorant population…..
