Veggie burgers made from soya, grown on cleared rainforest, good for the environment?

Hey, I'm new to your blog. Like this posting, couldn't be more timely with the massive consumption of Thanksgiving and winter holidays coming right up. I just picked up this book: Mark Bittner, Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating. Bittner writes about how we can't continue to consume meat as we do and keep the planet alive. Per Border's write up, he "proposes a plan for responsible eating that calls attention to the ways government policy, big business marketing and global economics influence what we put on our tables."

I forwarded your post and your blogsite to my Facebook. It's great. Thanks.

As more and more of us who eat meat occasionally--a few times a month--source that meat from local farmers who pasture their animals at least six months of the year, it would be interesting to see that included in the carbon calculators. I read elsewhere yesterday that pastured meat actually reduces carbon footprint because of the contributions to plant growth and carbon sequestration. Did not see scientific data to back up the claim though.

Excellent post. Thank you so much for including links to the supporting articles. For those of us raised to believe we must have some form of meat or dairy at every meal, gradually decreasing our consumption changes lifelong habits. It's one way to go.

A good way to start is Meatless Monday--no meat on Monday, just one day a week. Lots of bloggers and tweeters post delicious #MeatlessMonday recipes, to make it easy.

I'm pretty sure I'll never be vegan by choice, loving eggs and butter as I do, but in the nineteen or so years since reading Frances Moore Lappe's Diet for a Small Planet my household has gradually cut our meat consumption to almost nil and greatly reduced our consumption of the rest. In fact, we use table butter so infrequently that the last cube turned rancid before we finished! (We're storing it in the refrigerator now.) A dozen eggs may last three or more weeks.

I need to come back and visit when I have more time to look around.

Totally agree. I've gone vegetarian now for 5 years and I've never looked back. I feel better both spiritually and physically.

We began reducing meat consumption almost twenty years ago, and rarely eat it now. I love not having the smell of it in the house, which I never cared for. Btw, I was interested in the UN report containing the vegan quote, which you mentioned early in your post, and followed the link. I searched the pdf file for "vegan," hoping to find the quotation and read more, but the search returned no results. What page was that on? Perhaps I can find it that way.
