According to OurWorldInData, 80 billion animals are slaughtered for food each year.
The scale of what eat (& waste) is massive, which contributes to #ClimateChange & degrades the environment.
In the US, we consume ~280lbs (127 kg) /person/year (not including fish & seafood).
Beef has the most significant environmental impact & Argentinians consume 104lbs (47 kg) of beef/person/year. #food

An upcoming episode of Serving Up Science is all about how soil sustains life & is critical in conversations about #ClimateChange & #food security.
Here you can see two glasses where I poured water over tilled (left) & untilled (right) soil.
The details will be in the full episode, but the take home is that soil structure matters. Healthy soil prevents erosion & flooding, stores carbon, supports biodiversity & keeps our crops growing. π±
A significant, if not predominant, proportion of carbon footprint within the β#food systemβ comes from direct or indirect usage of fossil fuels, which include energy supply, fertilisers, supply chain and logistics, packaging / plastics, cooking and serving etc.
Therefore, from a purely scientific perspective, I am not sure your challenge to Muskβs statement stands as you might be speaking of similar things just in different terms.
I donβt like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but heβs rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.
Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so letβs be clear:
25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.
As UT Austinβs Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

Meat industry blocked the IPCCβs attempt to recommend a plant-based diet

The meat industry blocked the IPCCβs attempt to recommend a plant-based diet
A leaked draft revealed how the meat industry is obstructing efforts to curb climate changeAurora Almendral (Quartz)
You may have heard that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the #IPCC - released a new #climate report.
Hereβs the most important take home:
There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.
Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the coming decades will bring #climate conditions that make the future of #food production uncertain.
Enter cultivated meat, which doesnβt come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead itβs grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.

In the 1960s, the sugar industry funded its own research on the effects of sugar on health.
The results didn't look good - for them. Studies revealed a high-sugar diet may increase risks associated with heart attacks, strokes & certain cancers.
But... rather than share emerging findings, the study was curiously halted & the industry successfully shifted blame onto fats.
It took decades to widely link sugary diets to disease. It didn't have to. npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/β¦ #food #science
What The Industry Knew About Sugar's Health Effects, But Didn't Tell Us
The sugar industry pulled the plug on an animal study it funded in the 1960s. Initial results pointed to a link between sugar consumption and elevated triglycerides, which raises heart disease risk.NPR

I made these pistacchio biscuits today. They turned out, in taste and texture like macarons, but not as smooth on the outside.
Very tasty, somewhat fiddly to make, and DO NOT spoon out in tablespoon measures as it says. I used dessertspoon and they are too big. Go with teaspoon size.
