For Against Opinion Examples For Reducing meat consumption is an important strategy for combating climate change, as the livestock industry is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Plant-based proteins require less land, water, and other resources to produce compared to animal-based proteins, and many sustainable agriculture practices are compatible with plant-based diets. Look at this graph. Compared to a plant- based diet, eating meat, dairy, and eggs uses a lot of water! Studies carried out by researchers in Australia and overseas show that over 20 times more fresh water is required to produce animal products compared to the same weight of plant products. Animal agriculture puts a huge strain on our water resources and compromises our water security. A shift towards plant-based diets is necessary if we are to create a more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations. Against While reducing meat consumption to mitigate climate change is often suggested, valid counterarguments should also be considered. This image shows that meat is a nutrient- rich food with 22.7 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving, which accounts for 45% of the daily value (DV) and 2.4 milligrams of iron, contributing 13% of the DV. Meat provides a significant amount of zinc, which accounts for 42% of the DV and is essential for boosting the immune system and disease prevention. Additionally, the nutrients in meat can be absorbed more easily compared to those from plant sources. For instance, vegetarians may need to consume twice as much iron from plant- based foods as meat eaters do. Meat also offers 24% of the DV of selenium, a key nutrient for supporting immunity. These nutritional aspects of meat are crucial for many individuals, particularly those with specific dietary needs. Motion Meat consumption should be reduced to combat climate change.
