"Meat is really intimately tied with a lot of traditions and festivities," says Emma Garnett, highlighting how meat-centric meals are customary across various cultural celebrations like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
In industrialized countries like the US, people often consume far more meat than dietary guidelines recommend, impacting both health and the environment.
Stacy Blondin of World Resources Institute states, "Food systems are responsible for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is huge," emphasizing the significant impact of meat production.
A study shows that if the entire world adopts a diet mostly consisting of plants, global dietary emission levels would drop about 17% compared to 2019 levels, showing potential for change.
