Recommended Viewing - Should We Eat Meat? Part 2: Environmental Issues. Its not nearly as straight forward as you think. Naturally reared, grass-fed cattle farming has a bigger impact on the environment than the huge, intensive grain-fed cattle ranges, such as those seen in the USA. However, dont forget the health aspect too - grass-fed meat is usually much higher in the omega oils, vital for good health. Is vegetarian best? Animal protein can offer health benefits and some cattle rearing can contribute to environmental sustainbility. So what to do? Its a very complex issue but we could all benefit from reduced meat consumption; valuing it more as a luxury food once or twice a week, choosing quality, locally sourced meats. Better for our health and less demanding on the environment. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04fhbrt/horizon-20142015-2-should-i-eat-meat-how-to-feed-the-planet
