snacksEating less meat ‘like taking 8 million cars off the road’
Misleading headline right? if one person stopped eating meat it would clearly not be like taking 8 million cars off the road, if everyone on earth stopped eating meat then 8 million cars would be a drop in the ocean. So… the headline means what even you want it to mean.
I dunno… I do like eating a lot of meat…
i like driving cars as well. its a nightmare
ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝I like eating meat while driving cars.
they should rename the M1 ‘drive n greggs’

YungOnionsThey’re not saying people should stop eating meat entirely, they’re saying people should eat less i.e. swapping a burger with a bean casarole once a week or something. This is not a binary all-or-nothing situation. Every little helps, as they say.
One line under the headline:
“Having big U.K. meat-eaters cut some of it out of their diet would be like taking 8 million cars off the road,”
Here is the serious headline:

Global food system emissions could preclude achieving the 1.5° and 2°C climate change targets
This is the second time in two days where I’ve complained about a headline and someone has taken that to mean I don’t understand the content.
I was complaining about the headline.
