Meat must be rationed to four portions a week, says report on climate change
People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change, a major new report warns.
The report, by the Food Climate Research Network, based at the University of Surrey, also says total food consumption should be reduced, especially "low nutritional value" treats such as alcohol, sweets and chocolates.
It urges people to return to habits their mothers or grandmothers would have been familiar with: buying locally in-season products, cooking in bulk and in pots with lids or pressure cookers, avoiding waste and walking to the shops - alongside more modern tips such as using the microwave and internet shopping.
...and a few of the comments to follow the article:

totally pathetic. The most depressing feature of the age is that all these bearded, academic commies who never had a real job and sat resentfully during the boom years are now telling us pints and sweets are to be forbidden or at least rationed (with special concessions given to those manuring their own excrement). Ruthlessly enforced by the Vegan Misery Police I'm sure. North Korea would apparently be the model for saving the planet. Let's close down the University of Surrey, instead. That would surely save a few tonnes of carbon.

If the Food Climate Research Network stopped putting out quite so much hot air, we'd all be a lot better off. Have these people got nothing better to do than scaremonger about something that is at best speculative? One can only presume that everyone that works there is a vegan?
Climate Change was taking place long before humans were on this planet and it will still be taking place long after we have all turned to dust. It's about time we got over ourselves and accepted that we are puny and insignificant and we have very little influence here.

There are times when I utterly despair at the sheer stupidity of prejudice vented by almost ALL the Save the Planet zealots.
To a man they're anti capitalist, anti globalisation, anti progess, in fact virtually anti everything.
A coincidence this latest genius of a wheeze embraces the marginal cult of vegatarianism then? I think not.
Eat less meat? Yeah, that'll do it, that'll Save the Planet alright.
Idiots.

I got your 4 portions of meat right here, freaking fascists.

From the comments (some good ones there!)
The demand for food from primarily obese nations like the UK is completely disproportionate to our population - the Earth can't keep us fed at this level in perpetuity.
Yes it can -- the yields we are getting from modern farming are 10X or more per acre than even 10 years ago. If the world wasn't so stupid and would accept genetically altered veggies, there would be no starvation anywhere -- even Africa and N. Korea. But the tie-die, ponytail crowd would rather people starve than give up their political bong.

I shall now have 12 portions at a minumum per week! HDL BE DAMNED! :-)

What a complete jackass this woman is. Has she thought to analyze the effect of manufacturing microwave ovens and computers before she came out with this drivel? And my taxes are supporting this nonsense. :censored:
