I wonder if pork is better than beef for the environment.
- fragmede 3mo agoPork, by a bunch. Lower land use, lower greenhouse gas emissions, less water use.
- Windchaser 3mo agoNot ethically better, though. At least in the US, 99% of all pork is factory-farmed, and in much of that the pigs live their whole lives in a stall too small to turn around in. Pigs are as smart as dogs, and have personalities and emotions. I am absolutely a carnivore, but I still balk at eating meat raised through a system that just about tortures intelligent animals. Anyways: I eat a lot more chicken and plant protein these days.
