There's a disturbing amount of cannibalism related videos in the Suggestions section 0.0

I'm a seasonal vegetarian - in summer. And in winter, I eat meat a couple times a week. I found that the less meat you eat, the less you miss it. At one point, it becomes even a bit weird, eating the flesh of another being.

I might eat meat once or twice a week... and that's only at dinner, do i still need to eat less?

This makes me crave chicken-less wings. I also wouldn't call them chicken wings.

@Sashafia117 I agree with your point, and it makes sense to raise cattle in places where there can grow nothing but grass. But there are a lot of places, where you could use the space to grow vegetables/grain instead of raising cattle.

I'm a vegetarian for exactly the reasons you stated there! and I completely agree that the goal is to get more people to eat less meat rather than "banning" meat altogether - great video Hank!

Interesting discussion; I didn't know the U.S. wasted so much water on meat. In Argentina, the very thought of feeding cows 'feed' as opposed to letting them graze on rain-watered grass is crazy. However, climate is super important, and Argentineans, while loving red meat more than most countries, doesn't have the U.S.'s portion-sizes. So we can either choose to eat red meat much less often or in smaller amounts or both. Wouldn't hurt our health issues, either.

@TheDrmimizu What if they eat mostly (if not entirely) grass and hay? I live on a small farm where we try to use as little grain as possible; they mostly live off of grass that is watered by rain, which would happen anyway. I do not like buying meat from people I do not know; I know that this is a little bit of a luxury. Oh jeez, now I'm sounding a bit pretentious... Sorry...

@Sashafia117 slightly better, still crazily more inefficient than even out-of-season flown-in-on-jets vegetables.

What about locally, sustainably raised meat? Hmmm?
