You don’t have to go vegan to fight climate change. Research shows that small changes to our diets can make big differences.
Climate Lab is produced by the University of California in partnership with Vox. Hosted by conservation scientist Dr. M. Sanjayan, the videos explore the surprising elements of our lives that contribute to climate change and the groundbreaking work being done to fight back. Featuring conversations with experts, scientists, thought leaders and activists, the series demystifies topics like nuclear power, food waste and online shopping to make them more approachable and actionable for those who want to do their part. Sanjayan is an alum of UC Santa Cruz, a Visiting Researcher at UCLA and the CEO of Conservation International.

@@lif3andthings763 Why yes it does. The reality is people have to eat, and a large portion of what we farm goes to feeding livestock. Cut back on the meat you eat, and you cut back on the harm caused by farming. Almost nothing in the world is without consequences, but sometimes we can choose the option with lesser consequences, because not only is the harm caused by eating less or no meat better than the harm caused by eating meat, but it also means the resulting problems you mentioned (polluting waterways, erosion of topsoil) is easier to manage, because less farming overall means less of those problems to correct for.

I gave up eating meat in one day and then a year later stopped eating fish all together. Now I don't eat eggs and I occasionally have cheese. Its all a process. People say they will never go vegan which is what I would have said 3 years ago. But if you make little changes to your diet they add up over time. Just be open to the idea and don't shut off ideas which conflict with what you've been doing or what you've been told your whole life. Going vegan or vegetarian is not a diet, it's a life choice. Just start with one meal a week, or one day. Over a lifetime that adds up to be a lot.

I cut dairy cold turkey one day when I realized it’s pretty horrible for you and the environment. Especially because dairy was never really a necessity for me anyway, and I could easily eat alternatives. Skin got better and I felt much better, and I eventually just fully cut out meat as well. I definitely suggest people AT LEAST fully cut out dairy or mostly cut it out, even if you won’t fully be vegan or something.

Luke Schwartz every bit helps... for a little while. The world will have to adapt to many new ways of life or end up dying, there is no choice in the end. Dip your feet in the water of veganism/vegetarianism as slowly as you want but eventually you're gonna have to get in, the scale of meat the modern world is eating is far much more than is sustainable, and once more countries transition into an Americanized culture of eating "extravagant" meals with meat on every plate, a shortage will follow soon behind it. And that's assuming the world develops a more ethical means for raising livestock than the torturous life of factory farming like perhaps real free range farms. But the "more ethical choice" also uses more land. I could go on about the unethical life of dairy animals and how artificial insemination would not be tolerated for most other species but I see that your vegetarian so you must already be aware and just not care, that's not my business though

I think we can't push people to much to go all the way to a vegan lifestyle. Every step is important and we have to be clear what the best lifestyle for us as a human race should be. The best diet for health and environment is plant based, regional, seasonal, zero waste etc. I think it is important to see this as a goal. We can't be perfect. Everyone fails. But we have to focus on this to create a positive future for our spaceship earth. Vegetarian is a good step. Before I turned vegan I was a vegetarian for three years. Now I am a happy vegan and would never go back to cheese, milk and eegs. Stuff that isn't good for anything nowadays.

The only way to be good to both the planet and yourself, is to have locally sourced Animal products, from small family farms that don't use antibiotics and keep their lifestock in natural conditions. But we're in the real world unfortunately. Going back to the vegan thing - if vegans are correct and eating meat is unnatural, what are eskimos supposed to eat then?

One thing this video didn't mention is the impact of the meat industry on humans. We're currently cutting down forests to make room for grains so we can feed all those animals. This often happens in developing countries, where deforestation causes issues such as flooding and in some cases impacts ethnics groups. Eating meat (especially daily) doesn't only causes animals to suffer, it causes people in already vunerable positions to suffer. I personally see eating meat daily as an non ethical desicion for this reason. It doesn't seem fair to make people suffer so that I can eat something that I don't really need.

No, because right now it goes like this: we make food for the cow for a few years, the cow eats it, we eat the cow. The meat that the cow produced is far less than the amount of food we gave it. While if we gave the food we give to the cow (or used the space it takes to grow the food) we could give it directly to the people as food, so we would have more food while using the same amount of space. :) (This is also why going vegetarian, vegan or even reducing your meat intake helps battle world hunger!)

@jaredbowhay-pringle1460 6 жыл бұрын

As the video mentioned, the amount of grains fed to livestock could feed 3.5 billion people. Of course it's not that simple, just because we can produce that much doesn't mean it can or even should go to those who need it, but it's just an indication of just how much it takes to raise livestock.

yeh boflator, I pulled the digested meat out of my arse :P Anytime I want to loose weight (which is usually if I've been short of money & switched meat for grains), I just trade grains for lean meat & watch the weight fall off. I'm yet to see a single credible case where ANYONE has done NOTHING to their diet but switch lean meat for non-meat alternatives & actually loose weight or become healthier! EVERYTIME, without fail that you hear someone talk about "going vegan" & feeling healthier or loosing weight, they've ALWAYS made other changes to their diet. You can very easily google the other changes they've made, such as reducing/removing sugar & see countless reports from people making identical claims to those made people people who have removed sugar from their diet, but also removed meat at the same time & are crediting the meat for the change. It's got nothing to do with the meat removal! & unless you actually test this, you have no credibility claiming otherwise. Try a piece of grass fed lean beef (not the grain fed crap you get in America that would make anyone sick) & it will have no negative impacts on how you feel (unless you convince yourself otherwise of course, which I'm sure you will) Vegans are seriously worse than climate change deniers in the "facts" they convince themselves of!

They eat legumes or grains they said, hence why I stated "switch lean meat for non-meat alternatives" not some ridiculous rubbish of replacing calories with celery! Of course you loose weight if you drop calories! "we ate veggies and added a it of meat, now we eat a pound steak with 5 peas and 2 baby carrots" your American aren't you! Maybe you should try eating appropriate sized meals! No-one needs half a kilo of ANY food in one meal! That's half the day's recommended calories just in that one item!

As a now vegan, I started out cutting meat. Then I decreased dairy and eggs gradually. Going that way was so much easier than going full stop immediately! Some other tips: One nice aspect rarely mentioned is that I felt great even on days I did nothing, cause I felt like I was doing a good thing for the planet, myself and the animals just by existing in a less damaging way! :) So that was great for motivation! Also helps to watch some of the ethical documentaries on animal farming to build motivation.

Well, I'm not lying. It actually happened. But it isn't mutually exclusive. Yeah, going vegan I had to give up cheetos. But I can still have coke and oreos. So I generally have more plant based diet, and I have less options for junk food, so I eat less of it. But I still have plenty of junk food. As for meat replacements, tofu, tempeh, seitan, mushroom, lentils, they are always lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol than meat, especially processed meat. Simply put, I just eat less calories now because my substitutions are less calorically dense. But I still eat crap now and then; I'm still a human with cravings. It's pretty great.

yeh so in other words it has NOTHING to do with not eating meat! You could have switched to lean, grass fed meat or game meat & the SAME junk food changes you made & the result would have been identical in terms of your weight/health. Anytime I want to loose weight, I simply trade out grains for lean meat & watch the kios fall off. I just maintain that until I get my weight back where I want to & then slowly reintroduce grains to replace meat until I hit a balance where my weight has stopped falling. tbh, the ONLY time I put on weight is if I'm short on money & reduce the meat in my diet as a result. & my cholesterol is low & my BP is on the low side but acceptable

@freshbingo 6 жыл бұрын

No, tofu still has less calories than lean meat. Just google it for five seconds. Lean meat has 1506 calories per pound, and tofu has 344 calories per pound.

While an omnivorous diet, as you've described, you will be constantly juggling meats, gaining weight and losing weight. The truth is: the healthiest thing to do is no meat at all.

@@jinn2722 I don't think being vegan caused your brain fog. It sounds more like an Omega-3 deficiency, which has nothing to do with being vegan. Brain fog is a common symptom of an Omega-3 deficiency. Omega-3's are essential fatty acids that help support brain function. Non vegans rely on sea animals to get their source of Omega-3's. However, Omega-3's are not produced by animals. They are produced by algae, which is how the sea animals get their essential fatty acids. Some people think that eating things like chia seeds and walnuts is enough to get Omega-3's but that's not true. Those plant sources only contain ALA. ALA can convert into the other two fatty acids DHA and EPA, however that's assuming one gets enough ALA and that you are not consuming too much Omega-6. Because this ALA conversion is unreliable, it is important for a vegan to take an algae based Omega-3 supplement unless they are living in Asia and are consuming sea vegetables on a daily basis. People on a vegan diet who are experiencing brain fog really need to start paying attention to their Omega-3 intake. It's not the vegan diet itself rather than the lack of education and information when it comes to nutrition.

So is everyone hearing here “eat no more meat just go vegan”? Because that’s not at all what the video said. They mention how eating meat DAILY is the issue. Moreso that we prefer slower growing, gassier animals like cows to eat. Chicken has like 1/4 of the methane emissions per pound compared to Cow; fish even less. If we found a way to fit in meals that cut back on our meat consumption, ones that we enjoy. I think over time we would find plant-based meals can be just as much of a comfort food. There’s no replacing your Grandma’s roast beef recipe, but you can make things like it a real special occasion when you don’t eat it once every week or so. Please don’t think I’m someone who follows this advice yet. I live with four people who I share meals with and convincing them requires a total upheaval of what they expect to eat for dinner and even lunch and breakfast. We all grew up with meat as the “All American” thing. The thing we all CAN share even if we’re not Americans is to say “I care about our planet and I want to see human’s impact on its climate reduced.” That is something you can change. If we simply talk to people and you work to change habits over time, we can all do this together.

When people become frustrated with the lack of change, without looking at the plethora of change that has already taken place, not only does it undermine the people that have been eating vegan etc for years already.. but it also pushes away those that are finding it harder to change their identity in the midst of this and that will only cause negative repercussions for the environment and animals when you see people rejecting the notion of veganism because they don’t feel welcomed to the idea, but rather pushed away for being a “meat-eater” etc.

Meh, he doesn't even say "become a vegan or a vegetarian" he just said "Try to cut down on your meat intake". That I agree with. We don't need some vegan feminist or whatever coming on and telling us that anyone who eats meat is evil. All that does is make people tune it out, because it's stupid. humans have been eating meat for millennia, ever since we discovered fire and could eat it without contracting disease. Lots of meat eaters understand that they eat too much meat, but by trying to tell them that the only option is to turn vegan or vegetarian, it makes people not want to do anything. But this video illustrated the different options for people who want to eat healthier and help the environment.

That's one pay period lmao. 14 days, no meat, no dairy, no eggs, read every ingredient on everything and turn it away if it's questionable, easy veganism. I promise if you do 2 weeks you will at least have an appreciation for how your body COULD potentially feel if you switched your diet around.

James Tang That‘s true. But in case of noticeable increase in fish consumption, companies in that sector would have to grow pretty fast to keep up with demand and their competitors. And while fish farms are more sustainable, actually building them takes time and has big upfront costs. So companies would probably opt for short-term profit instead of long-term sustainability and just fish in the ocean. I don‘t know, maybe I‘m just too pessimistic. But most companies don‘t have a great track record on favoring sustainability over profit.

@rebeccahicks4949 6 жыл бұрын

There's environmental problems also with fish farms. And lets be realistic, switching to fish WILL mean a lot more fish taken from the ocean. Overfishing is already a huge huge problem. Going vegan-or at least moving towards that direction is the only real solution. Plus, fish is nothign like meat in terms of taste or texture, so for people who enjoy meat, becoming vegan or semi-vegan will probably be no more difficult than switching to fish.
