Thing is (and it is not surprising), these leftie 'no meat' idiots do not realize when they complain about raising cattle using too many resources, is that livestock are the only practical way to use the majority of available land for agriculture. The land is too poor, and the water supply too limited, for conventional agriculture. Livestock -- especially goats and sheep, though cattle too -- can make use of marginal land that otherwise would lie fallow. Stocking rates are low, but the land produces what it can.
Edited to add link from deleted comment above, to which this post was a response:
There are a few things that might react with methane, potassium permanganate for example. That does not make it a good idea, but just saying, someone somewhere will probably be able to invent a way to make something like this work.
Yeah, well, they can try it. Cattle aren't as stupid as some people think. They will find a way to get rid of that mask, and it won't take long. There's also researchers looking at ways to make them belch and fart less, basically via animal husbandry -- selective breeding. The 'genetically modified organisms' as they existed, before researchers learned how to gene splice.
Which reminds of the old saying, 'best be careful what you ask for.'
Yes, well, WE know that... but THEY are convinced... so they try to select for 'environmentally helpful' animals. Is is all BS of course, as is the argument that 'climate change' is caused by humans. Here's a start; you may already know but there are others here who want to learn:
It will likely be something cruel - just as hens' beaks are burned off in factory farms to keep them from pecking one another to death in their distress. And pigs' tails are cut off to prevent their fellow prisoners from biting them, for the same reason.
It helps to realise that so-called ‘environmentalists’ have pre-school minds, so they believe if we used the grain to feed Humans instead of animals, then we could eliminate animals. Leaving aside - as stated above - most animal food is grass, weeds and scrub from land not suitable for arable farming, meat is mass for mass much more nutritious than plant matter, and contains all essential amino-acids for Human tissue growth. To maintain the same nutritional level requires a large range and/or quantity of plant matter. This is why plant eating animals have specially adapted digestive tracts, and spend most of the 24 hours, eating.
It is why ‘health food’ shops have shelves stocked with jars and boxes of vitamin and mineral supplements.
Organic farming requires more land, more water and other resources to produce an equivalent amount of crop-output compared to industrial farming techniques.
Our ancestors had organic farming, with little meat in their diet. There is a reason why they changed and a reason why in poor Countries, as people get wealthier, meat is a priority in their involuntary vegan, organic diet.
Only an ignoramus can believe that if animals consume plant matter and produce methane, if Humans ingest it they won’t.
I agree with most of what you say, except that in some people groups, depending on geography, arable land is at a minimum, but it will sustain herds and flocks of (edible) livestock. And a significant portion of human history occurred before farming of grains began, while hunting was common.
That is so. In large parts of France for example, the terrain - thin top soil, rock and clay just below the surface - is unsuitable for growing crops. That leaves animals, particularly sheep, goats and poultry, some fruits, and vines which grow where other crops won’t. Hence lots of goat and sheep cheese and wines and very little dairy. (Northern France dairy, pigs, fruit, veg and cereals.) Such arable land there is, usually in valley bottoms, is used largely for growing grains to feed poultry, and produce cooking oils.
Too many people with strong opinions about farming have never seen a farm, never gone hungry, they live in towns/cities with an eco-propaganda pamphlet knowledge of food production. Ignorance + stupid + liar = Environmentalist.
I've been saying for years (as I have some liberal friends) , "God bless the Liberals. They mean well but haven't a clue how things work in the real world..."
yup, them thar vegans are nutso....just because it takes 'only' 2k gal of h20 to produce One lb of meat & that there are some [this ret.mechanic happily included] who have been cured of multiple diseases just by changing the'fuel' they scarff down& thereby driving down big pHarma's revenues...its just plain un-amerikan,eh?
Sadly, most of the people I know aren't even "awake." They are asleep, period. Last night, we had dinner with some friends who I know are clueless and I asked them if they were stocking up on food and told them what Brandon had said weeks ago. When I used the word "prepping" they looked at me like, "whaaat?!" The response was that their freezer was full of meat. I said, "No, staples like pasta, rice, canned goods." The subject of generators came up bc they have one that could run the whole house and then, "if everyone's running them, getting gas will be a problem." But it seemed like a conversation about the hypothetical and they likely woke up this morning to business as usual.
It's not too late to plant a garden - use heirloom seeds and plant all the vegetables you can. Buy canned or dried beans / peas, rice, canned tuna, salmon, chicken. You can still buy wheat and grind your own flour at home for home made bread. The problem is, this is intentional and those in high places want this to happen, I think. There are many different causes. I read six months ago that China had decided not to sell any fertilizer to the US, and not to sell us the ingredients to make fertilizer. I also read that US factories that produce fertilizer had been shut down for various reasons, and that there had been sabotage of train shipments of fertilizer / fertilizer ingredients and storage facilities. In the city where I live, a large warehouse that stored fertilizer caught fire - perhaps arson? I don't know. Russia also is an exporter of fertilizer, but obviously won't be selling to us, if they are selling to anyone at all. With a shortage of fertilizer, that is one factor that is going to contribute to smaller harvests than usual in the current growing season, and the soonest things could get back on track is fall of 2023 or some predict perhaps well into 2024. Besides that, I understand that Russia and Ukraine normally produce a substantial percentage of the world's wheat, but with the war on, I'm sure none of the Ukrainian men are doing any farming this year, and the women and kids are refugees, so globally, wheat will be more scarce. Meanwhile, Union Pacific railway has said they are unable to honor their contracts to transport wheat, so that supply chain is broken. Tucker Carlson and others have reported on fires and explosions at a number of food processing facilities - El Gato has said that he doesn't believe this is any more than might be "usual" though some disagree. I have been seeing for about the past 9 months one thing after another that makes me wonder if we are heading to a global food shortage f a serious nature - any one little thing by itself may be nothing, but I keep seeing a variety of things that make me think it would be prudent to plan ahead for oneself and one's family. President Biden has said there will be a food shortage and it's going to be real - I know he has dementia but the people who control him probably told him that, and perhaps they know more about it than we do. And you grow your own vegetables, you do not have to worry about someone programming them to include vaccines you may not want. Not just food, but while you are thinking about, store some water as well. I think it is getting too late to do much to mitigate this much by government action - if farmers don't have their fertilizer by now - I say IF because I don't know who has how much fertizlier - but if they don't have it by now, it's too late now, it is time to be planting, or they should have already planted. If yields are smaller due to lack of fertilizer, we'll find that out by fall. But, I think we're likely to see increasing food shortages through the summer perhaps because of supply chain issues and/or perhaps sabotage. IF this shortage becames the problem that many think it will, I think it is because there are people in high places (whether here or other countries, or both) who wanted it that way. I don't think anyone is going to stop it, and we need to take steps to take care of ourselves. Those who have access and are able to hunt or fish will do better.
I agree with all that you say. Yes, this is intentional, that's a tough one for people to wrap their heads around - but wasn't covid the same? And it's time for people to let go of their prejudice about "those crazy survivalist-types" and start recognizing that such people have wisdom and skills we can learn from. There are many, many prepper blogs and videos online, as well as books. Find the ones that you like and learn from them. I live a largely DIY life these days, after giving up my badass life as an outlaw cannabis grower of twenty years' standing, which definitely prepared me for these times. I bake my own bread, make my own soap and laundry detergent (works out to $.03 per load and I can add what essential oils I like. Takes all of an hour to make a one gallon batch). I realize that not everyone can do this. But I've done the corporate thing, left it for "Green Acres". I like this better. P.S. for a peek at what life might be like post-TEOTWAWKI ("The end of the world as we know it"), here's a work of fiction some might find interesting - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Made_by_Hand
Agree there is a lot that can be learned from others, including blogs and you-tube videos about what foods to store and how to store them. I think people will need to know a lot about taking care of themselves to survive - can learn a lot from others, and the time to start is now. I am still on a learning curve and have only less than a year ago started to appreciate what we are probably heading into. I usually don't say much about these things as many people do think it is crazy, but more and more I see things in the news, and it is becoming more normal to realize where we are heading. It doesn't hurt to be prepared - we are already eating fresh foods from our garden (we live in the south and planted some veggies early in the spring). We tried out our wheat grinder and had some pretty decent bread recently. If the worst does not happen and I was just crazy, we still have food we can eat, and no harm done.
I agree with everything being said in the group comments. We do have to prepare and it is better to look foolish than starving. I am was thinking of planting beans and squash in public parks to spread out the growing possibilities. The edges of fields and parks would be easy to use.
Yes, there are methods to avoid food shortages that won't take years to develop. It is prime time to convert to organic and get off seed and chemical control wagon. I took a class from Harvard online last year about climate change and humanity regarding food. The big problem is getting food to where it is needed, because there is plenty of food produced worldwide. The documentary, The Need to Grow is excellent among others.
Cuba went organic after the Soviets stopped shipping fertilizer there. Also had to manufacture their own farm equipment. It was a tough time but they got it down. See the film, 'The Greening of Cuba".
Yes, Cuba is organic. I have been there a couple of times. The problem is the controlling dictatorship. Cubans are not allowed to grow their own food, so many are hungry. They do try to find ways to hide some plants, but it is meagre. The better food goes to the privileged and tourists. The local guarapo has been a life saver for many Cubans due to the minerals and protein, but the sugar content is hard on the teeth and blood sugar levels..
Gardening is key. And the good news is, it's something more and more people started doing during lockdown, as I know very well - I am a nurserywoman. Our sales on veggie starts increased about 400%. Hoping this season it will stay that way or even increase. I am in a very, very rural area so I can't judge what is happening in cities. We are happily positioned, got everything but coffee, flour, rice and sugar. I buy those in bulk. My Laura Ingalls Wilder life. And yes, I have guns. You bet.
Friends of mine who work with the legendary John Jeavons promote Victory Gardens by giving talks to communities in schools, libraries, etc. A garden not only saves you money, it can save your sanity, if not your life. Maybe the planet, too. https://www.victorygardensforpeace.com/
Well, it's interesting. As a long term prepper I have been following this closely. The MSM has been posting soothing articles, to the effect that, not to worry, it will just be Africa and Asia where billions will die, not the U.S. Oh, and then, well, Europe too, we guess, once the starving millions start pouring in. Here in the U.S. we'll just experience higher food prices and severe shortages, leading to inevitable crime waves, riots, martial law and rationing for thee, but all will be well once they perfect Soylent Green. My advice - start educating yourself about post-SHTF survival. Start stacking food to the rafters (no one's laughing at my prepping these days). Understand that once things break down we'll be on our own. Aim for a six-month food supply, more as you can. Assemble your tribe. And if you are in a city - GTFO and move to a rural area with a strong agricultural community. "Come out of her [Babylon], my people, lest ye partake of her sins and receive of her plagues." I love that quote and I'm not even a Christian. It's quite possible that civilization as we know it is likely to collapse, but don't count on the government to save you, they're the ones who are causing it. There will be a terrible winnowing.
They all have merit. My choice for 1st prize, however, is #3, which pretty much describes a whole generation of selfie- (and self) obsessed 20 and 30 somethings.
Yeah but blaming an age? That's a too-easy target; boomers, GenX, and older millenials are mostly just as in thrall to tech, and aren't exactly discouraging self-absorption.
Maybe it is my America-centric “white privilege” speaking, but the US picture encapsulates the clueless affluence ne’er-do-well attitude perfectly as the ship (country) goes down. Emphasis on looks for photo ops all the way to their demise.

Boat sinking?--check. Sun setting?--check. Ridiculously inappropriate glam, sexy photo?--check.

Did you read about the proposal to put masks on cattle to stop the so-called cow burp methane problem. That should go over well with the ranchers.
Methane is a gas. What mask do the idiots think can filter out gas molecules? Also, a lot of that methane is coming out the other end.
Depends!!
That’s exactly what we’ve been wearing on our faces!
This is being promoted by Prince Charles, the next head of the German crime family currently known as the Windsors.
If that asteroid doesn’t turn up soon we may have to take action ourselves...
There are a few things that might react with methane, potassium permanganate for example. That does not make it a good idea, but just saying, someone somewhere will probably be able to invent a way to make something like this work.

The whole methane from cows affecting the climate is nothing but bullshit.

Does this gender confusion mean that you are eligible for a seat on SCOTUS?
Bovine fæces - please we try to maintain some decorum in this parish. 😊

Exactly!
It will likely be something cruel - just as hens' beaks are burned off in factory farms to keep them from pecking one another to death in their distress. And pigs' tails are cut off to prevent their fellow prisoners from biting them, for the same reason.
It’s chemistry not genetics. As plant matter breaks down, either inside an organism or outside, methane is released.
How do the animals eat?
That should go over well with the ranchers? 🙄 what about the cows?
The cows won't put up with it for a minute.
I can’t.

Don't forget elitist. Oh, and racist, too.
It also helps to realize that many of the so-called 'environmentalists' absolutely hate humanity.
If only they would extend that hate to themselves (although maybe this demonstrates that they are not human.)
Exactly. Those people think they love nature, natural things, and science, but they are so clueless.
I've been saying for years (as I have some liberal friends) , "God bless the Liberals. They mean well but haven't a clue how things work in the real world..."

Yeah. Hubby's niece, we don't have shortages here. (East Bay Area)
You and me both, when it comes to the battle.
Three days of food on shelves in major cities. “Where’s the beef???” Will precede many a looting spree
The raptors are. As much as we can. Sorta wishing we had that sailboat back.
Agreed. Want to see something about about our food supply: https://www.phillymag.com/citified/2015/03/23/scientists-are-growing-vaccine-laced-lettuce-at-pennovation/#SSzw5lDusVEurtur.01

Yeah, this pretty much says it all.
Photoshopping Uganda Knuckles in the cactus pic would be da wae.
LOL, “grab a cactus!” Thanks for the laugh!
I have no idea what is going on in Sudan right now, but the dude with the cactus is hysterical. I vote for just because it made me laugh.
The other two are sadly accurate though.
They all have merit. My choice for 1st prize, however, is #3, which pretty much describes a whole generation of selfie- (and self) obsessed 20 and 30 somethings.
If they were a couple of obese heifers it would have really nailed it.
Exactly.
Yeah but blaming an age? That's a too-easy target; boomers, GenX, and older millenials are mostly just as in thrall to tech, and aren't exactly discouraging self-absorption.
Agree with you, sadly…….l.l
...and 40 & 50 somethings too.....
Just sit right back, and you'll hear a tale...
Definitely #3, though the cactus almost won me over.
Three way tie!
US. We are getting better and better at selfies on the Titanic.

We are going dowwwwwwn.
I am not thrilled to say that, but for real. it is happening and I am quite sad about it.
God Bless us all, take care of your loved ones

Sidenote: The boat owner had docking issues. He was bound to sink.

All 3 are apropos for their situations, but the sinking boat captures our situation the best.
