    The animals would thank us if they could and there's a lesson for all of us.

    The aptly named Larry Lamb is on TV at the moment in the UK's first insect farm/restaurant,he has just been chowing down on mealworm patty burgers,a new alternative to meat.

    Bad for keto, skip the bun and bread crumbs and fries. Mayo good for keto, vegetable good also. Not sure what's inside the vegan burger! Water very good for keto.
    Great for Vegans. :like:

    Don't go to Burger King at all, so this last offering of theirs doesn't interest me at all.

    At a very strong push, I may have a MCD's breakfast McMuffin. as for KFC I have been avoiding it like the pest, but cannot stop the wife from meeting her friends in there...

    I am an unashamed fish and meat eater. I would consider vegetables as a side dish accompaniment to my steak or chicken or fish. And not as a main meal.

    What right do cattle and other meat providers(animals) have to live over insects?
    Same goes for non meat eaters but will eat fish!

    No, because people have realised that eating animals is fundamentally wrong :like::like::like:
    If you look at the vegan chillers in Tesco, it grows month on month.

    This is a massive topic and one I have looked at closely. Keeping it short, there is no need to eat a veggie burger to save the planet, eating animals is what man does and has done going back to the year dot, it isn’t dirty if cooked and I quite like meat.

    I follow a guy called Frank Mitloehener who is a greenhouse gas guru, who’s job it is to research all of this and he explains amicably why we shouldn’t blame the cow for what fossil fuels have done to the planet.

    Everybody does.

    The difference for me is that the explanation given and the one he underlines tallies up with the geological record. All Frank is saying is this. It is well known. It’s a cycle. There is no net addition to greenhouse gases generated by ruminants. But there is from fossil fuels in the much shorter term than the long (geological) carbon cycle.

    What that guy at John Hopkins is picking with becomes irrelevant.

    What many people just don’t get is that there is more than one carbon cycle. Simply put, a long cycle and a short cycle. The short cycle includes ruminant gases which essentially neither increase or decrease greenhouse gases. The long cycle includes fossil fuels that would never have been released if it were not for man’s intervention. Hugh Jenkyns explains the long cycle from the geological slant.
