Yes American food is unhealthy. How? When Finnish cheese in Vitamin B12, Riboflavin aka Vitamin B2, Calcium, Phosphorus and Zinc. More expensive cheese you get Iodine and Vitamin D. Ok Finnish Milk in Vitamins, etc Excellent! But Russia disagrees, and ordered without the elements. Ok In USA you can't get a healthful food also in common GMO foods. In Finland freely.

I know there's a ton more to the equation than eating meat, so by all means, have at it.


In a word, overpopulation.

You can't look at a way to fix our impact on our surroundings, without addressing the core problem causing most of it(because we can't take credit for anything the earth does periodically on it's own). Existence, all existence on a liveable planet(below ground, on the surface, and in the atmosphere) depends critically on balance. When that balance is upset, bad things happen. When that balance is thrown off it's axis entirely, you are looking at catastrophic destruction.

I think the lesson to take away from this is to stop eating freaky weird things.

Like bats.

Especially considering that bats are not the most cleanliest of animals and are a vast transmission source for numerous diseases. Much like birds.

So really, just stop eating the freaky things.

Who is doing most of this meat consumption? White people. Africa and Asia consumes substantially less meat.

And btw not only white people live in Europe and North America. That's a r-a-c-i-s-t assumption

Overpopulation. A theory that formally got started by a misanthropist in the 16th century and it has never died. Same argument for hundreds of years: there's too many people to support. Actually the argument can go back even further to Cicero's contemporaries. I'm not sure if there's any acceptable population for these people since pretty much any social ill or resource problem can (supposedly) be scapegoated onto overpopulation.

Human beings are capable of being close to carbon neutral. We simply choose not to. A pro-active, educated mind is one of our best assets and having fewer of them so people can reroute more money to vacations or 2nd/3rd homes that don't make them happy doesn't fix anything.

Oh please. White people are the chief consumers of meat around the world. I doubt the data exists, but I'm 99% positive even if you sliced down Hong Kong demographically, white people would be the bigger meat consumer over the local Cantonese.

Outbreaks are always going to be exceedingly more likely in unsanitary conditions that provide scenarios for fluid contact between species. That means places where markets throw together a variety of wildlife. It's not an exclusive problem with met markets though. Crossover from chickens and pigs continues to be a danger and the fact is this would be less of a danger if contemporary humans followed a diet that was better adapted to their biology, and a diet high in animals fats & protein is not best adapted for our biology and it never was. The food industry has hacked our internal reward system and exploited it at the detriment of the entire planet. It must stop. The solution is simple: more soy.

Blizz is a spot-on living meme. Come to think of it, the entire left have become caricatures of themselves. I have never seen such a large group of people that NO ONE should take seriously anymore, and yet HAVE to, because these same living caricatures are not only being listened to, but are actually affecting catastrophic change on the western world.

Compare expats or minorities living in Hong Kong versus the Cantonese. I 99% guarantee that white people eat more meat.

I say 99% because I don't actually have any data, but I know what the results would be. It would be white people gobbling down all that sweet & sour chicken and orange beef in mass quantities and then being backed-up on the toilet while other people are waiting their turn. White people are predominately responsible for taking too long on the toilet in public restrooms and this is because of their carnivorous habits.

Doesn't matter, where you look before saying it's race based, is at per capita percentage.

So, as China will tomorrow replace USA at possibly every top level, expect them to consume also the most meat. Then, as Africa will industrialize somehow and get richer, they will also consume more meat. Is NOT race based.

You could have formulated "western type civilizations", as China becomes one, which could have made more sense.  


It’s culture based actually. Mongolians are really poor but count among one of the most meating countries in the world. This is because of their nomadic culture that relies on it as an important source of food.

Just like how Icelandic people eat tons of fish.

So while more money means more meat, little money does not necessarily equate to little meat.

@Blizz: White people consume most meat, why is US(not pure white country) above every pure white country with Kuwait(not a white country) in number two?
