Unless you're doing a protein fast on Meatless Monday - which requires a lot more work and foresight - you're not doing anything for your health whatsoever. What you’re doing is eliminating necessary fats as well as a high-quality, high-nutrient protein source, and replacing it with processed fake food that has more deaths per calorie and is actually worse for the environment because it destroys the soil. Yes, industrial meat is bad, but not just on Mondays. Industrial animal practices are bad for animals, bad for the planet, and bad for the soil. Oh, and they're bad for you—every single day. So, of course, every day should be industrial meatless. But throwing out all meat does a great disservice to the planet. There's a reason that we had fertile prairies when there were tens of millions of bison pooping on the soil. When you eat meatless, you're encouraging large agrochemical companies to deplete the soil further. We need animal poop from animals that eat grass in order to continue enjoying all of the foods we like to eat. I say this as a small farmer who incorporates permaculture and animals into my farm because it’s impossible to build topsoil without them. We only have 60 years of topsoil left as a planet. After that, we'll have nothing to eat. Topsoil is the largest single carbon sink we have. If we would all stop eating industrial meat all of the time and switch to grass-fed meat, we would start building topsoil again. So do not throw out all meat on Mondays. Instead, throw out industrial meat every day. Your body will thank you, the planet will thank you, and the grass-fed animals who get to go outdoors and lead a good life will thank you. Do your best to buy local grass-fed meat and support small farmers. They need you now more than ever during the pandemic! Oh, and notice this: If you have grass-fed meat, you feel full and don't get cravings. It's the perfect meal before an intermittent fast!」2月9日 10時36分
