    • And the soil will become not just more fertile but it’s structure will become much better more robust and more able to withstand bad times. Poor soil will become more productive as cow poo attracts more insects which generally mix the soil.

    • @Lorenzo Smith yes but we killed almost all of the Bison! Cause that’s what we do, kill and conquer. 😳

  1. It’s really a freaking crying shame that we have to have such a discussion and studies like this. It’s obvious that Coke and Pepsi and Gatorade and onion rings are not better for us than beef and lamb which are some of the best sources of nutrients. We also know who does these studies, who pays for these studies Coke and Pepsi and onion ring makers. They want to grab the land and produce more of their junk food in the name of client change, such a lie! Beef and lamb are two foods that you could live off solely forever and be perfectly healthy and thriving. Beef and lamb are not only high in zinc and iron but they are high in amino acids. They are high in essential proteins and fats and plants do not have the same value in Amino acids and have little to no essential protein! You have to eat four to five times as many plants to get the same amount of amino acids such as leucine. This whole climate change and cow farts BS is such a farce and again it’s just sad that we have come to the fact that we’re defending what God, what nature gave us to eat, what humans have been living off of Since since the dawn of time! It’s disgusting it’s a lie it’s extremely sad that they keep pushing this on us because they don’t care about human life and they don’t care about animals and they don’t care about the planet all they care about is power and destroying the world so they can “build back better” and act like gods.

  2. I don’t think we only concentrate on cattle and other animal products when it comes to environmental concerns. It’s a holistic concern. But doctor you didn’t touch on one of the most important components of meat production and processing which is humane treatment of the animals. I am not on here to preach like a PETA member but it’s common knowledge that we don’t treat the animals we consume very good. And those that are treated humanley the end product is very costly. That’s my beef… LOL! Pun intended.

  3. My diet is carnivore….my body does not react well to fruits, vegetables, grains. So inflammatory for me. I have no desire to eat anything that makes me feel awful. This guy needs to understand that not all people can eat the crap of the government food pyramid and if he reduces meat then he is reducing the amount of food for people like me.

  4. What I love about the Doc is that he takes the obvious and clear message of government control issues and tyranny and decides let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and discuss the facts. Hats off to you, Doc! 🎩

  5. Europe is re engineering the original aurochs, the ancestor of all cattle. Europe needs a large ruminant. The biased studies all started with veganism based on religion. The best would be less driving. Packaged foods require lots of driving and pavement. Are they counting all that driving and pavement and litter? Local unpackaged foods are best. Get rid of green lawn grass which does nothing.

  6. Don’t it always seem to go
    That you don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone
    They paved paradise by telling us another lie

  7. Missing discussions on what are the plant agricultur impact on the climate. What about monoculture crops? Why is all the focus on ruminants? Thankful for a response.

  8. Once again the issue is framed as emissions rather than net emissions taking into account the change in stable sum which is near zero with livestock. We can’t have a good discussion as long as we do not qualify the proper metrics. The Idea that we can somehow “re-wild” the great prairie *without* large stocks of ruminant animal grazing is absurd. This is trying to re-capture a past that never existed.
