@980d1fa6: Reducing meat consumption is often recommended as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as the production of meat, particularly beef, requires a significant amount of resources and contributes to deforestation and other environmental issues. Additionally, the production of meat can also contribute to water pollution and other environmental problems.

As for substitutes, there are many plant-based options such as tofu, tempeh, legumes, and nuts that can provide protein and other nutrients. Additionally, there are many meat substitutes on the market made from plant-based ingredients such as soy, pea protein, and wheat gluten. Have you tried any plant-based meat substitutes before?
