Start with Bill Gates.

Small farms are significant emitters of nitrogen, according to Biden’s “climate czar” John Kerry who is pushing for the U.S. federal government to crack down on farming in America to combat “global warming.”

Kerry insists that the United States must massively reduce farming to meet the radical “green agenda” goals laid out by World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN).

Oh, only small farms. Not big farms like Bill Gates' farm. This is about squeezing out the little farmers.

It already happened in the Netherlands.

Well we do eat way to much meat and dairy for own, and the planets health.
A move from cattle farming to more sustainable grass and root production would produce more food per acre and thus negate the need for population reduction or restraint.
It’s massive cattle stations that need to go. Meat should be a treat not a staple

Not really.

The USA throws away too much maize-fed beef to be sustainable.

Other kinds of meat bred in other countries on more sustainable feed are rather more, well, sustainable; and most countries aren't as eager to dump food into the waste bin as the paranoid USA.

As with so many issues, it's not meat that's the problem - it's the USA.

I still maintain that a plant based food is better for you than a meat and dairy one and you can definitely feed more people per acre with crops than you can with cattle.
I’m not anti meat in principle I just think it should be more expensive having been raised in a field of grass rather than force fed maize and hormones but your right the US is probably the biggest culprit for that.

Well, you're factually and evolutionarily wrong, then. We're omnivores. We have both molars and canines. Get to grip with it.

That is not true at all. There is plenty of land that is being unused and could easily be used to graze cattle or goats if need be. You have been mislead by left wing propaganda. I am not going to eat bugs like you left wing maniacs think.

I need to eat meat in my diet just to keep my stomach satisfied. Man evolved to eat a lot of meat, especially in winter. One of the reasons people are getting diabetes is because we are eating too much starchy and sugary foods. Man also did not evolve eating a lot of seed oils.

We need to eat more meat and less carbohydrates and seed oils. You have it backwards.

There seems to be a propaganda campaign to sell the idea to naive people.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/25/health/insects-feed-save-planet-wellness/index.html

Have you heard about this idea before? Eat bugs to save the planet? Seems like a tough sell to me. Do you want to eat bugs?
