"Soya bean and palm oil ... a threat to our planet?" Unfortunately the vast majority of soya bean crops are grown for animal fodder. | |||

"Soya bean and palm oil ... a threat to our planet?" Certainly a threat to orangutans. | |||

"The BBC are a threat to your mind." The BBC are welcome to produce a programme of this nature provided that they also show one from the opposite point of view. Somehow i can't see that happening. | |||

"It's rare i eat meat, the cost is excessive plus i don't really like the taste or texture of most meats. I sort of wan to watch this programme but neve know if they're going to be properly informative or scaremonger." That's why we need another programme from the opposite view to balance it out. | |||

To say eating meat is good?" We are Omnivores. We have evolved to eat meat and veg and as such, our bodies need nutrients from both. Let's get one thing straight though. All contributing factors of climate change are NOT a threat to the planet - they are a threat to our continued existence on it. The planet will be just fine. It has coped with far hotter (and colder) temperatures (such as when it first formed) and will sort itself out. | |||

To say eating meat is good?" To highlight the ecological damage done by switching to purely arable/vegetable production in countries that already have an established grass based system. No doubt the programme will focus on extreme examples in far off countries that involve deforestation and massive monocultures but that is far from the reality in countries such as ours. | |||

Maybe, i do want to watch it now to see what they say, i know vegetarianism happens in communities that live with animals and it'll be interesting to see if that gets a mention. Will try catch up or something. | |||

Tend to agree with that,i've said before that even if pollution isn't causing global warming it's still doing a lot of damage. | |||

Bear this in mind: if the success of an ecosystem is measured in biodiversity be aware that there is greater biodiversity in a square yard of pasture than there is in an acre of wheat in established grass based systems. | |||

In both cases that depends a little on the nature of the farming. Not a lot of pasture in the large intensive cattle and pig farms. Lots of biodiversity in traditionally managed paddy fields. .. And everything in between. | |||

And everything in between. " My claim refers to a like for like comparison between meat and wheat production in countries where the meat is produced through an established grass based system. Besides, i don't see many paddy fields in Somerset, though that could well change if it keeps raining. | |||

"Going vegetarian is a huge missed steak Lucky I don't like steak. " I quite like the taste, just find I can't eat that amount of meat (even a small steak seems daunting). | |||

"A couple of thoughts, mainly originated by others: 1) Meat is not a threat. Humans are. Unbridled growth of the human population is not sustainable. Our appetities, for meat and energy particularly, are highly damaging. 2) Agent Smith was right - we are a virus doing our best to destroy our host. 3) Thanos might just be right. 4) We don't really threaten the planet at all. Just our tenure of it. We'll make it unlivable for the current human population, but the planet, along with some other forms of life, will persist. 5) Maybe we're just a practise run. The planet isn't totally stable (Pacific ring of fire and all that) and possibly not totally suitable for long-term occupation by humans yet.Come back in a few million years. Back to work " I believe in thanos and his views | |||

"We won’t kill the planet but we will kill each other eventually as the space gets take over, no more fields/forest/wetlands etc that make the eco system, we will then fight between ourselves for the little that can be produced. We will be gone but the planet will still be here long after us " | |||
