Nonsense. Meat is the healthiest food on the planet.
If you factor the emissions associates with treating and "curing" metabolic conditions, the loss of productivity, sick-leaves, early deaths and so on brought up by overeating carbs and unsaturated fats, the opposite picture emerges. The anti-meat nonsense is pure ideology, greed and global politics combined. The opposite of the truth.
If you value the environment and like to minimize our impact on it, eat meat.
70 percent of the land mass of the planet is covered by grass. The only thing you can do with it, without intensive farming, requiring massive amounts of fossil fuesl, fertilizers and so on......is grazing animals. So, when you cut down the forests to plant palm trees to get palm oil to adulterate milk products with the claim that that makes it healthier (!?!?!?!) with it and make people sick and then you blame it on animal husbandry, you are so full of it that it leaks through your ears. I can give thousands of such examples.
