Hi, I’ve recently seen this video by a channel called What I’ve Learned, regarding the environmental impact of animal agriculture, in both of which Dr. Frank Mitloehner, a Professor and Air Quality Extension Specialist at the University of California, expresses his opinion on this topic.
In short, he suggests that cow industry is not so disruptive as it is portrayed.
I’m trying to understand if his points are valid. What are your thoughts? Please let me know, thanks
Interesting, thanks. Still, the land usage issue is addressed in the video, and makes a good point too.
EDIT: made this comment before watching this video, which addresses the original one. Also, I’ve checked out the channel you suggested, and I like it. Thanks! (btw not vegan either, but who knows)
Yeah. I think there are a lot of moving bodies in the green movement, and some take the meat thing way to far by adding some personal stuff to it, like the ethical of eating meat at all.
When it comes to what kind of meat to prioritize this graph gives a oversight regarding the comparabillity between meats. I haven’t really checked the source, but it gives at least some oversight.
And I think it clearly shows that eating more chicken and then eating less beef will be more effective than eating a lot of beef meat and eating less beef. Adding on top of that not needing to eat meat for EVERY meal then we have come a long way I think

For sure! It is all very regional and case specific. A graphic like this will never fully show how it is in your region and all that.
