Saturday Morning With Jack Tame

What is wrong with meat?There are health issues with eating too much, especially processed meat but today we are talking about the eco and humane side of meat eating.So, what's the problem?Deforestation to make room for mainly beef farming is a global issue.Then factory farming , and yes even some cows in NZ can be fed indoors, using off farm grains and even orangutang jungle destruction palm oil by products. Palm kernel expeller. This is a very inefficient use of land compared to feeding these plants grown straight to us as food.Fossil fuels used for transportation, farm equipment, building, maintenance and heating the factory farms add to the eco burden. Methane emissions from the animals, especially cows, which is a very potent climate gas.And for factory farming the inhumane treatment of the chickens, pigs and now cows trapped in small pens living in their own filth. If you have ever raised your own stock and poultry, you know what a tragedy this is for these amazing animals.You have choices. Do nothing,
