3 things everyone wants to be good for the climate, but aren't, in order of their badness for the climate:

1. grass-fed beef
2. organics
3. local food

They ALL have other advantages! They're not bad things, they're just bad in the GHG equation.

We liked it too!

I always enjoy my conversations with Simon Hill of the Simon Hill MSc, BSc (Hons). Can’t wait for this episode to drop in a few weeks!

The proposed decree to ban the use of words such as “steak”, “sausage” and “filet” being used by plant based companies in France has been suspended.

There is “a serious doubt over the legality of such a ban”.

A personal thread🧸

When my child was 4-5 we were at a breakfast restaurant & she asked how bacon was made

Mindlessly I said 'From a pig'

Quiet for a moment, then
'This is a pig's skin?!'

'Yes, baby. But he died fast'

Tears welling up
'Was he with his mom?
Was he afraid?'

We want to believe in the childhood fable of animal farms. Farmyard tales are etched in children’s books - and now in documentaries like Kiss The Ground & Six Inches of Soil. But fanciful storytelling can’t replace the reality of science & planetary harms. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

People don’t really believe that our motivation to be #Vegan & fight for fellow animals is to gain a sense of moral superiority, it’s just that our existence brings their own unethical choices into sharp contrast so they feel a need to use such nonsense to criticise our character

Well Alex is

Litter lout.

1. This week’s column is about something we badly want to believe, regardless of the evidence: that livestock farms are benign and harmonious. Why? Mostly, I think, because it chimes with books and cartoons we see as very young children. theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Also: a thread
