[…] I try not to be a preachy vegetarian, but I’m asking all of the carnivores out there to challenge themselves by skipping meat in May. Only a slim minority of meat eaters regularly consume humanely raised grass-fed, organic-fed beef. To put it bluntly, our meat isn’t raised on quaint small farms with picturesque red barns but on massive industrial factory farms. On these industrial farms, billions of livestock are raised annually under inhumane conditions, raised and slaughtered by workers not treated much better than the animals and the animals are fed an unnatural diet of corn and antibiotics. On top of this, the livestock sector is a major contributor to global warming (more than transportation!), accounting for a whopping 18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Producing one calorie of beef requires 40 calories of energy-that’s not so sustainable. […]

A quick question.

It is obviously too late for meat producers to to react to this sudden drop in consumption. So what will happen to the animals designated for consumption in May?
Is it possible that meat will either have to spoil, be sold at discounts, or frozen for the period till the market can even out? How will this figure in the CO2-balance? Would a month of longer living for the animals not increase the overall methane output?

Regards,
Christian

Of course local/permaculture/gaia/square inch gardening are all wonderful ideas that we should all aspire to, but I’d like to throw in a book recommendation for those less well acquainted with gardening and still interested in being meatless THIS May (not starting that garden to be meatless, next May).

My personal favourite getting to know vegetarianism cook book: Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet from Nava Atlas.

Includes a ton of easily accessible vegetarian dishes that will help you see how incredibly easy it is to be a healthy vegetarian these days. The “gourmet” in the title is even a little misleading- this recipes are really not difficult and use almost no difficult to find ingredients, I promise! I give this to all my wannabe-veg friends.

Also, I’m going to go immediately purchase two Chelsea Green books (I’ve been looking for an excuse to buy a copy of The Carbon Free Home anyway) for mentioning a book that isn’t theirs :/ I love and support you guys!
