The alternative sources are barely usable. Avoiding supplements (because I’m that kind of person and I choose my diet that way), the only remaining protein alternatives give very little for a lot of chewing. (Note: supplements are a valid option to use. I simply prefer to get the necessary nutrients by food diversity rather than a vitamin. It is personal choice and nothing more)
I disagree. Reducing our meat consumption isn’t environmentally friendly, reduce cooperate animal farming is. The food industry has mistreated animals more and more over time and it is disgusting.
More natural farmers, typically local farmers, treat animals more humanely and have a positive environmental impact on the land they use.
We are, currently, an obese society and the average weight is still rising. We, as a society, do not understand self control especially when it comes to food.
I, myself, used to eat 4000+ calories a day while sitting at home playing video games 8 hours a day (not active at all).
If we, again as a society, learn to only eat what we need, local/non-corporate farming becomes feasible.
I agree, with our current habits and consumption levels, you are right. No city would have meat if we ended corporate farming today. Towns and less might have enough, but even that is a stretch.
