You Can’t Beat The Meat

The answer to the age-old question, Where’s the beef? is, Everywhere. In a world where demand for a product so associated with climate change continues to grow, maybe it’s worth trying to tweak the industry rather than trying to replace it.

Raising Better Beef. “They believe there are solutions that address climate change and fill demand, for a world in which people can buy, cook and eat beef with a clear conscience. They point to efforts to change how cattle are raised to retain more carbon in the ground, to develop feed supplements that reduce gas releases, and to make genetic breakthroughs so animals digest their food without brewing up harmful gases.” (I’m a lifelong vegetarian, so for me, the steaks are less high.)
