Try skipping meat for one day a week to reduce your carbon footprint and improve your health.

 
I just ate a nice burger.

And I'm going to have a turkey sandwich tomorrow for lunch.

Soooooo no.
 
Sooooo, this is going to be your thing here, huh?

Because he's allowed to.

Most Catholics are already going Meat-Free on Fridays these days.

Americans do things because they want to, not because they have to.

Give them a positive reason--like shrimp scampi .

We've done this all our lives; but on Fridays.

It's called "Being Catholic"! :lamo

Eating meat removes sources of carbon dioxide. Did you not know that?

It carries a smaller "carbon footprint" than eating plants.

That said, as a Catholic, I do abstain from meat on Fridays. I make up for it with cheese (derived from the milk of enslaved cows), eggs (stolen from enslaved chickens), and fish (lured out of the ocean to be slaughtered).

Yah know what? Extremists, fundamentalists, evangelists, they come in all shapes and colours and they're all received the same by ordinary people. Disbelief, mistrust and scorn.
I fast for a day about once a month, so I guess once a month I'm acceptable to you but we kill about a dozen chickens a year, a pig or two and umpteen rabbits and we heat with wood so our carbon footprint would impress Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Try to guess how vulnerable I am to guilt, McCartneys or no McCartneys.

Yep, that a Friday favorite amongst Catholics, particuliarly Italian-Americans.

The thing is: It's supposed to be about 'fasting' by abstaining from meat, but it's kinda' hard to see it that way when we're chowing down on shrimp, crab, lobster, mussels & clams! :roll:

Edit: Can't forget calamari! :mrgreen:
 
We just had avocado & tomato sandwich Toasted bread drizzled W/ olive oil . Meat free every day for me Thank you Sir Paul!
 
What can we do to feed the world's growing population and protect the environment at the same time? We need to change our diets..

That sounds pretty good, to be honest.

I'm sure there's many health benefits, but I'd have concerns over adequate protein sources, especially for young people & young adults.

But I'm all for getting plenty of veggies in, matter what one's diet is otherwise.

(and olive oil is the nectar of the Gods, along with wine)

Nope. I subscribe to the belief that climate change is something that occurs naturally regardless of how minute or sever those changes are.So I will not change my diet because of some silly eco-tard vegan nonsense. Humans are omnivores just like bears, and other animals that are omnivores, so the idea that we shouldn't eat meat is absurd.
 
The solution is literally bleeding obvious: Stop feeding food to third party animals that can't help but be inefficient converters of (plant) food into different food (meat).

It's an outdated, unsustainable, unethical, immoral, cruel, disgusting, stupid way to feed a world of 7, 8, 9, or 10 billion people.

Stop hypothesising and hypocricising and being part of the problem. Go vegetarian, go vegan, and become a part of the solution that's staring us all in the face.

Unsustainable means it can't be sustained. We either change our ways or wipe ourselves out. What do you choose to do right now?

I've been trying to convince my friends and family to add more insect protein to their diets, but none of them will take me up on it.

Effective would be to start eating people.

Eat animals (since they produce CO2)?
 
Killing fish is worse than killing cows because the fish are free and the loss of their life is a longer soul journey than slaughtering cows bred for slaughter.
 
I am already a vegetarian...but I fall off of the wagon occasionally.
