Eating meat served as the foundation for human health for generations, yet today we are seeing a growing conversation around removing meat from our diets and wonder about how does eating beef affect the environment.
Can we really go without eating meat?
What are the consequences of How Does Eating Beef Affect the Environment?
There are a number of arguments including the use of plant-based meats which is another application of inserting processed foods into the diet, known to have poor impacts on health due to nutrient deficiency.
What’s good for human health, may also be good for the planet.
This week I’ll be interviewing Nicolette Hahn Niman, author of the book Defending Beef.
Nicolette shares her story as an environmental lawyer exposing the downsides of industrial farming to transforming to a rural life as a rancher.
She methodically evaluates health claims made against beef, demonstrating that such claims have proven false. She shows how foods from cattle—milk and meat, particularly when raised entirely on grass—are healthful, extremely nutritious, and an irreplaceable part of the world’s food system.
