REPORT: The World Will Basically Starve To Death By 2050 Because Of How Much Beef We Consume

(SOURCE)

Americans will need to cut their average consumption of beef by about 40% and Europeans by 22%, for the world to continue to feed the 10 billion people expected to live on this planet in 2050, according to a new report.

That means each person could have about a burger and a half each week.

This calculation comes from the World Resources Institute , a global research nonprofit that supports better use of natural resources to sustain a growing population. Its research looks at agriculture, the climate crisis, poverty and gender, among other topics.

About 9.8 billion people will live on the planet by 2050, that’s up from 7 billion people in 2010. Demand for food is projected to outpace population growth, increasing by more than 50% as people’s incomes in the developing world are expected to increase, according to the report.

Shifting to plant-based diets

Switching to plant-based foods would help the environment the most, but most climate and land-use benefits would still happen even if people switched from eating beef to chicken and pork, the report finds.

FFFFFUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK YYYYYYOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!

I can see it now: there’s going to be new regulations limiting our beef consumption in the VERY near future.  Goddamn pussies ruin everything.  I’m about to start the NBA – the National Beef Association.  First meeting at Declan’s tonight where we’ll discuss all things beef and how there is too much government regulation in our food consumption.  I’ll give up my beef when you pry it from my cold, dead hands you fucking whack jobs.  If you want it, come and take it.  I dare you motherfuckers!

Look, I don’t care about people in 2050.  It’s almost 2020 and I’m almost 31 years old – by my count in 2050 I’ll be 61.  And I swear to god I’ve done the math like 1000x on this so I know I’m right.  Who in their wants to be alive at 60 in a world we don’t have beef?  And I’m not talking about Italian beef, with all due respect to a popular term at Barstool Chicago.  I’m talking about all forms of beef

Absolutely luscious.  Imagine a world where this stuff isn’t readily available?  That’s not a world I wanna live in.  Fuck.  That.
