[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 6450822, member: 70166"] Thing is its a very hard thing to prove and measure. Indoor kept beef is pretty easy to measure because whatever fuel is burnt feeding/bedding and whatever is used to make their feed and that is the carbon footprint. Its easy and has probably been measured by cleverer people than me so i wouldnt quiestion someone who says indoor feedlot style beef has a high carbon footprint because it probably does. But that isnt the only way as we know. When you turn them out there isnt any carbon burnt feeding them and they can sequester carbon by trampling grass down into the ground turning it into carbon rich humus in the soil. But that is a very difficult thing to measure and people dont understand the difference so dont look for any difference either. Beef is beef as far as most people ae concerned. Its up to us to tell and show them the difference and try and educate people about how grazing ruminants are part of the solution and a great source of natural healthy protein. Its a bloody farce that quorn can sell itself on the healthy protein healthy planet bulls**t they peddle. Makes my blood boil when i see them say that. Whats good for the planet about mega processed gloop? Not good for the people who eat it either come to that. Its banned in canada because its so bad for you but no one will tell you that. [/QUOTE]
