Everyone’s food ethos is different and people make choices on what foods they eat for varied reasons. I’ve talked before about how Indians have mixed food philosophies in India, including both extreme vegetarians who don’t consume anything that even resembles meat like tomatoes, to those who consume lamb, goat, pork, chicken and even beef where beef eating is still considered taboo in certain areas of the subcontinent.
Any environmentalist would say eliminate meat consumption from the diet entirely to make a positive impact on the environment. The Food & Agriculture of the United Nation states, “livestock production is one of the major causes of the world’s most pressing environmental problems, including global warming, land degradation, air and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.” These are the prominent messages we’ve been hearing for several years and most recently from authors like Jonathan Safer-Foer (Eating Animals, Back Bay Books, 2010).
However, we know that vegetarianism for many is clearly not feasible otherwise we all would have become pure vegetarians by now.
