Dr. Helen Harwatt, farmed animal law and policy fellow at Harvard Law School, advises that getting protein from plant sources instead of animal sources would drastically help in meeting climate targets and reduce the risk of overshooting temperature goals.
For the first time, Dr. Harwatt proposes a three-step strategy to gradually replace animal proteins with plant-sourced proteins, as part of the commitment to mitigate climate change. These are:
1) Acknowledging that current numbers of livestock are at their peak and will need to decline ('peak livestock').
2) Set targets to transition away from livestock products starting with foods linked with the highest greenhouse gas emissions such as beef, then cow's milk and pig meat ('worst-first' approach).
3) Assessing suitable replacement products against a range of criteria including greenhouse gas emission targets, land usage, and public health benefits ('best available food' approach).
Harwatt further elaborates that recent evidence shows, in comparison with the current food system, switching from animals to plants proteins, could potentially feed an additional 350 million people in the US alone.
You can eat plants or insects, but not meat.

Kids can be a lot of fun. Although, more the making than the raising. The hardest thing for me about raising kids has been finding the time. I know friends who leave their business so they can spend more time with their children, and I say, gimme a break! My children could not love me more if I spent 15 times more time with them.
We found a fantastic nanny from Belgrade, very gun-adept (RIP!!).
I have 5 children. That I know of. And 4 turned out beautifully. Very high quality people. Very rich -- going to be billionaires. So, 4 out of 5, not bad, right? And honestly, the other one -- she's probably better than anything you could come up with.
I think if I have more children, it's going to be in China. They're doing the Designer Gene now. And the first one they did, no more AIDS. Roy Cohn, maybe you've heard of Roy. He was my lawyer for many years. Until I found out -- AIDS. He was dieing, he was seriously ill. And I had to take all my legal business to another guy ASAP. Before he keeled over. Big hassle, you don't want that. So the Chinese, they put in the very special Gene for no AIDS. Otherwise known as HIV. So if the kid turns out to be LGBT, no problem. That's one kid that won't be spreading AIDS. I talked to the President of China. And the President of Russia. I asked them, do you have problems with the LGBTs? And they told me, "no problem at all. Because we get very tough on them." Well, with the very special Designer Genes, no need to be so tough. And possibly they can find the LGBT gene. They'll ask, "do you want an LGBT?" You say yes or no, very easy. And hopefully they can find the genes for all the diseases. All the VD. We're losing so many people to VD. So many young and beautiful lives being lost. And it's becoming a national emergy. You go up to so many young folks these days, you say let's have sex. And they tell you, "Sorry Sir, I can't. VD." Very sad situation. But with the Designer Genes, not a problem. And we'll get some young people that can just boink and boink like the Energizer Bunny. Do you know the Energizer Bunny? He just keeps going and going. Bang, bang, bang. And doesn't worry about the diseases.
And very soon they're going to have it PERFECTO. Where you can go to the machine. Press the buttons. And they'l have the buttons that say, Donald Trump Original. Don Jr. And Special Recipe. Or do a copy of yourself -- but with perfect hair & brain. Whichever one -- no VD. All licensed by the Trump Organization. And maybe it'll take some of the fun out of the making. Hopefully not. But the raising will be much better!!
