  Less Meat Monday: Does eating less meat really help stop global warming?

   

  
  

  You're right. Meat is produced in CAFOs with a lot of subsidies, and chemicals, making it artificially cheap. So in reality, it's expensive to the taxpayers. But that doesn't resolve the grass-fed problem of where to grass-feed all the animals necessary to supply enough meat for everybody. There's lots of grassland doing nothing (I'm thinking the great outdoors, not outside of buildings nor urban areas), but would it be wise to fill it up with cows just to feed humans meat? That would mean millions of acres dedicated to meat. I'm sure we can think of something better to produce on it! And all the land dedicated to corn and soy; I think it's better to produce something more heart-healthy than meat.

  A detail here is that the CAFO industry can't just change to grass-fed. There's the issue of space. It would not be possible to produce the quantity of meat that CAFOs produce, and would cost more to produce. Also, grass-fed takes longer to reach market weight. More, time, more money. Meat would be more expensive, and no at everyone's reach. Grass-fed is not an option. Eating less (or going vegan) is.
