It's no secret that plant-based meats have been marketed as healthier and more environmentally friendly alternatives to real meat. However, these claims are not entirely accurate.
While plant-based meats contain some nutrients, they simply can’t compare to those found in real meat, such as protein, B vitamins, iron, selenium, and zinc. Plant-based meats may try to replicate these nutrients through added chemicals and synthetic ingredients, but they can never match the natural composition of real meat.
The production process of plant-based meats involves using chemicals and additives that may pose health risks. For example, the Impossible Burger contains yeast that creates a synthetic version of the blood protein heme from soy. This ingredient is classified as a color additive and hasn't been thoroughly tested for safety.
Regarding environmental impact, plant-based meats are often touted as a more sustainable option than real meat. However, they require a lot of resources to produce, including water and land. If we look at California almonds, they use ten times more fresh water than cattle.
On the other hand, real meat production uses resources that would otherwise be wasted. For instance, 85 percent of livestock feed comes from non-human edible materials, including corn stalks, beet pulp, and soybean plants.
Cows play a crucial role in maintaining the health of our land. They can graze on terrain unsuitable for growing crops, and their manure is a natural fertilizer for plants. Removing cows from the equation would negatively impact our food production system. One of the main arguments against real meat is the methane emissions from livestock. When looking at the big picture, these emissions are roughly 2.7 percent, which isn’t significant enough to make a real difference.
These emissions are also part of a natural cycle. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the soil, which is then consumed by livestock and released as methane. This methane eventually breaks down to become carbon dioxide again, completing the cycle.

I’m Canadian and we were taught the four main food groups growing up. What interesting is that? Three of the four groups are not necessary for human existence. What’s even funnier is you can exchange one for another. You can absolutely live a long, healthy life being plant-based and you can also live a long healthy life eating just meat. They also list dairy as an essential even though a third of the world is literally lactose intolerant. It’s mind blowing. Then, as I got older, they changed it to the eating right pyramid, which had refined grains as the thing you’re supposed to eat the absolute most of. In the grocery store, you still find, low-fat, yogurts, and all of that, even though they taste worse and are bad for you. Pretty much everything I was taught as a kid was wrong. At least for adults, breakfast is absolutely unnecessary. It’s healthier to intermittent fast. Basically everything I was taught was wrong.

I live in rural Missouri in an area where lots of cattle are raised. With very few exceptions nobody feeds their cattle grain here. They are literally all grass fed, because it is expensive and wasteful to feed "row crops" to cattle. Now here are the exceptions that I've seen. 1. Some people will specifically ask for, and pay for grain finished beef. 2. In some cases farmers will plant winter wheat as a cover crop, for soil management. I've seen cattle grazing in green, immature wheat fields, which results in healthy cattle and also a wheat harvest in the fall. 3. During drought years when the corn crop fails I've seen farmers cut, chop and ferment the failed corn to feed cattle during the lean months when the grass won't grow. I've also seen failed corn crops baled for the same reason. Other than that, beef is 90 percent the product of grass and rainwater. Nothing else compares to it.

[@swamp-yankee]

Well, there’s all the small ruminants. I’m going to make a case for sheep because goats and the camelids aren’t common. Sheep are way more efficient at converting grass if you are looking at yield by any metric but labor, and if people are going to nitpick water use my flock seems to drink about half the water my cattle do by weight. Also in remote areas sheep can tolerate walking a lot further to water from grazing because before domestication it’s what they were already doing. I like beef very much, but if we’re going to try and maximize our grassland acreage and steward it effectively I think we need more folks eating sheep. Lamb is more expensive primarily because it doesn’t benefit from the same subsidized gains as CAFO beef fed corn and soy, and because it isn’t viewed as a staple in the same way as beef. Energetically it costs less.

[@paulfay357]

[@swamp-yankee]

@@paulfay357 I think they’re a lot less intelligent than cattle, but all animals definitely have their own emotional lives. I guess being low rent and not able to end your life with a kick helps them be easy pets. I have hair sheep and a lot of diversity in coats. This time of year when they’re back grazing with fresh lambs sometimes I’ll see three generations of mothers all cudding together with their lambs. It’s probably very common for them to be in family groups, but I can only identify a few maternal lines without reading tags. I harvest a couple hundred head a year, but I don’t really have that issue because I love my flock and act in its best interest. It is not in a flocks best interest to keep all their progeny. Their evolutionary strategy is strength in numbers and they are in symbiosis with their predators. Without them the population will grow exponentially destroy their source of food, and collapse. I’ve got a couple friendlier ones with names, but when they have to go, they go. The way I see it we are members of a super organism which is the flock and all individuals will be replaced. I have replaced other shepherds and will be replaced just like it’s been since humanity brought the ovines into our fold. I take care of them and they take care of me.

As a beef rancher out here in Oregon, (as well as a carnivore) I really appreciate your bringing awareness to this topic. It also makes my blood boil to hear these fools degrade our industry and perpetuate the false narrative that not only beef but all red meat in general is “unhealthy “ or “bad for the environment.” Ranchers are among the best stewards of the land, and what we go through to feed millions of people often gets misrepresented.

There's another thing that's not mentioned and that's the machinery needed to grow, process and transport crops which is far more than needed for animal farming, you've got to plough the land, you've got to plant seeds, you've got to spray the crops, you've got to feed the crops, you've got to supply water for the crops, you've got to harvest the crops, fill trucks, store it, transport it, it's very machinery intensive.

[@chrislee6650]

Also the majority of crops then have to be processed into food we can actually eat and needs other ingredients (and additives to preserve the food for further transport and often ultra processing), whereas we can just eat a steak or pork or chicken and get a nutritional meal. I think the move from cows and farmers to big chemical companies making 'food' is because the elites want to move the cash from the farming industry into their own stocks and shares.

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

@@100organicfreshmemes5 If ignorance is bliss...you must be the happiest person on earth. This is about cattle grazing on land that would never sustain a crop of any sort. Feed lot fattening cattle is a disaster in progress and a different matter.

[@StarlasAiko]

Storing crops is by far not more resource intense than storing meat. Quite the opposite. One of the reasons why crops have replaced meat as staple when humans discovered domestication is because crops are cheap to mass produce and longterm store. Before the industrialised mass production of salt and ice, the only feasable way to preserve meat was to dry and smoke it, making it last, at most, six months. With grain, all you need is a clay pot and some wax or tar seal and the grain will be good for several hundred years. Also, you need only 4 accres of grain cultivation to feed an adult for a year, but you need a lot more land than that per person if you want to eat meat. Growing crops is labour intensive during seed and harvest, growing meat is labour intensive all year round in all seasons and weather. Before domestication of plants and lifestock, humans only ate plants that were seasonally available, and never ate grains or seeds. Meat was the primary staple even before we learned how to hunt. We were scavengers and carion feeders, only supplementing our meals with plant matter for the sweet flavour of fruits and berries or to get through rough times when carion or prey was scarce. And of course, there always have been medicinal plants. Inventing crop domestication completely adulterated and perverted our dietary habits.

Also for consideration.. cattle that graze on natural grasslands are harvesting land that often isn’t fit for farm land. And they do it happily and without complaint. Also there is a reduction on petroleum fuel used which never gets mentioned in these “scientific “ studies. Cough cough. Furthermore, beef raised on grasslands will have a much more natural ratio of 3 to 6 fatty acids. And if they are in a pasture vs a feed lot they will get more exercise (healthy) need less antibiotics (healthy) consume less agricultural byproducts (healthy) and be less stressed (also healthy). Like any “food” we are presented with, beef can be incredibly healthy for humans to consume or incredibly unhealthy. (Think fast food meat). The choice is yours.

You missed something important i.e. agrichemicals. I now live in a rural village surrounded by hilly land too steep for arable crops. It gets grazed by cattle and sheep, they eat the grass and they poo - and that's it. Fifteen years ago I lived in a different village 10 miles away and was surrounded by mostly arable (cereal crops) fields. While just bare earth, as the fields were for the winter months, the farmer would spread tons of artificial fertiliser on the land. During the growing season, the crop would be sprayed with chemicals (twice if I remember rightly). Although the farmer abided by the laws while spraying, I still shut my windows and brought my pets in. What is the environmental impact of the manufacture and transport of all those chemicals? When I moved here I soon noticed the much greater quantity and diversity of wildlife, from insects to mammals (I'm an amateur wildlife photographer )

Gotta love this, so good to see a Dr vocalising some broader knowledge on this subject. The only downside I see in the explanation about the waste of crops being used for cattle feed is no mention on if the crop was GMO and the issues around some chemical sprays ingested then you're still left with a meat that isn't so good for us. Hence the lean toward grass based and organic methods for stock feed. Also would be good to expand on the fake meat produced in the lab is out of cattle cells which therefore isn't truly vegetarian at all on a molecular level, so as far as I'm concerned is false advertising just less cows killed in the process!

As a reformed vegetarian I can tell you I never ate beyond meat because I thought it was healthier or good for the planet. I just didn’t want to eat animals. I still don’t but recognize my biology might. What’s important is that we make sure the systems that manage this food source and all animal food sources are life-affirming and offer the animals goods days of being animals until that last bad day rolls around. All your pictures show cows on pastures and clean with space to run and frolic with other cows. People like me want that to be true for all the cows we eat, all the pigs and chickens too and all the fish as well! The way things are now most animals who are grown for food are treated in a horrifying manner, in a way that would make any person with a heart weep. We must have respect for the animals and allow them dignity which will give us good land and healthy bodies too. Thanks Dr. Berg for all the great videos.

Never been a vegan but who can argue with that….need to support local farms to make this true

[@ProjektLore777]

This. I still don't eat anything with a face or beating heart. I definitely do not eat the fake meats. I eat plants. Whole foods... It's not necessarily a health consideration for me, but a compassionate consideration.

Also worth mentioning that grazing animals are by far the best thing for the local environment, allowing wild flowers, insects and animals to thrive on the same land.

I (stupidly) was vegetarian from age 16-38. At 38, I reconsidered… because: my hair was falling out, I was deficient in several nutrients, and I recognized that my high-carb diet was most likely bad for me, since I have a huge family history of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Now, at 48, my health isn’t perfect, but it’s much improved.

[@barry7608]

Great video Doc, I'm watching from Australia and find your information stunning, I had no idea it was THAT bad. Seems the best option would be to classify it as dangerous goods! Red meat and for an increasing number of Australians kangaroo is a great alternative to beef.

[@sterlingarcher1962]

I have two rules for my food... if it comes out of packaging I won't eat it. If it comes from America, I won't eat it. The first rule is one I've lived by for over 25 years. But, my life has improved most drastically since implementing the second rule.

The big problem are the industrial animal farms. If the cows are allowed to live free in a meadow, then it is good. For environment and the cows. I always said that plant based "beef" isn't that healthy than real beef. But I think we are eating too much meat at all. Once or twice a week it's enough. Good for the environment, good for the cows and good for us.

[@prezzeruk4054]

I was feeling low for quite a while recently. Could tell my body was craving something. I didnt eat alot of red meat, mostly poultry. Bought myself a pack of 2 beef steaks, cooked em up, put an egg on each. Polished the lot off. Felt better within a couple hours. No i make sure to eat beef at least once a week.

I believe that as long as you eat mostly products that have as little processing to them as possible, you're doing right by yourself. And no particular diet or type of food should be forced on anyone. Some people thrive on keto, some thrive on vegetarian, and some do better somewhere between the two. And to be frank, when the climate grifters scream about "cow farts", I face palm. Lots of dairy farmers set up methane reclamation facilitie. They use those "cow farts" to power and heat their farms, and usually have excess to put back into the grid. Human innovation and adapting to changes is much better then drowning people in fear porn and propaganda.
