Not exactly a primary source given its a news paper but it'll do. It indicates that "farm animals" produce ~14% of human related climate emissions. In methane rather than Co2 which is far worse for the atmosphere.
So the inherent idea of doing something about it, is "green". This can be discussed with no reference to politics. In this case you've got your blinkers on by saying there is ONLY political discussion there.

The only discussion possible here is debating whether the argument is sound or
not, which is actually a debate about whether the policy makes sense or not,
which is a political debate.

Yeah, nah.. the two may have been linked but are seperate ideas. You're telling me you can't have a discussion about organic methane production and possible reduction thereof without including politics? There is a seperate political debate about whether or not to tax it, that's a different story.
The political debate strikes me as being sheer lunacy.

You can't have a discussion about organic methane production and a possible

via policies is on the table. Which it clearly is.

Claiming it is not political is a political action too - I see it often when groups try to protray themselves as non-partisan and push
political changes claiming they are not political.

Being someone who eats veggie burgers I can say this much... a grilled veggie burger raises my emissions more than a traditional beef burger. With that in mind, once they get rid of the cattle, I expect they will
be taxing us next.

Hehe, depends on the veggie burger. I don't like the "fake meat" at
all, with the exception of the soy based sausages. They are at least better than cheap hotdogs/frankfurters. Thats a pretty low bar though.
For me, the best veggie burgers are the ones which don't try to emulate meat. Like the "bubble and squeak" ones, potato, peas, corn. Don't try
to hide the vegetables and be a second rate meat burger, become a first rate veggie burger.
By the way, if you burn off your emissions with a match, do they pose
less of a threat environmentally?

Hmmm... that'd take a more green-minded person than I to discuss. One would think so, but there would be the smoke from the match so I don't know. :D

I think I tended to think that way when I wasn't vegetarian (it's been a while, though), but at this point... I like things that taste good, and some of the veggie burgers taste pretty darn good, regardless of what they're made of or what they're trying to impersonate (_if_ they're
trying to impersonate things).
But, while I can't get them in Europe (rules about GMOs forbid selling their current form), I like the Impossible Burgers, in part because it's interesting to have a burger that looks raw, but is made with beets, and is unlikely to have the dangerous forms of e. coli on it, so I feel
safer cooking them "medium rare" than I ever did with a patty made from
an animal.
But, in general, the fake-meat options have gotten pretty interesting,
in the past few years.
On the other hand, I _also_ like things like General Tso's Tofu, where I think the texture and flavor of a very firm, preferably pre-browned tofu is better than making it with chicken.

right.

*shrug*. I find this fairly irrelevant. I've been vegetarian for 8
years, I guess, and, yeah, I would not say it's healthier, other than avoiding some things like the various scary bits about how the body (and bacteria that live in the body) process red meat.
But "fad" or not, well, most of the food industry involves fads, whether meat or not.
Do you not like General Tso's? I make it at home, sometimes, and it's
all about the sauce. Which, from what I put into it, it seems to be largely about soy sauce and maple syrup.
But, yes, back when I ate meat I did try things like eating crickets (it kinda felt like eating sand, though a chocolate-covered cricket was like eating a Kit Kat.

Funny you should mention that chocolate covered cricket is like

I'll starve to death before eating either a cricket, or tofu.
I've never had General Tso's. Not sure it is available in Australia.

I think it's an American Chinese dish. I think most Chinese places in
the US would have it, but I wouldn't state that with any certainty, as I've certainly been to plenty of places that didn't have it.

I watched a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) show that traced the
origins of General Tso's back to, I thought, somewhere in New York City.
It seems some places have a General Tso's Chicken dish and some don't. Also, it seems it can be inconsistent depending on which restaurant you get it from (but that's about true for any Chinese dish). Usually it's breaded and fried chicken in a sauce that I'd call sweet and spicy (or savory).
making meat substitutes is a worthy goal - If we can significanly cut
down on raising animals for meat and make affordable, healthy meat substitutes, I'd be for that.

It was me above that said that, and I find it _normal_. I think I'm in the majority on that mindset, too.
Not really following you here... I eat meat, and I *ALSO* like _trying_ things. Just not bugs or coagulated soy milk with a nasty texture.
Well, humans are omnivores, so why would it seem odd? It's part of the
eating LOTS of other things that are NOT meat. Again, hard to follow your "logic" here.
Of all the things you've said here, *THAT* actually *IS* "odd". Kind of strange, is more like it.
Various things that you think are ethnic, immigrant food, but they're really a part of the local culture, and are as American or German as
apple pie or various potato dishes.
It might be normal, but the, "being vegetarian is so weird, I need more MEAT!" just
It's odd to me because it seems like not eating meat feels like a personal offense
And if the substitutes taste as good and are as healthy, it seems like a net positive. Even though I'm sure there'll always be a market for things like kobe beef or whatever.
But a random burger from a fast food joint that overcooks the meat and then covers it in enough other stuff that the quality doesn't matter? It doesn't seem like people would notice.

I've had a couple of Beyond Whoppers from Burger King. I can tell a difference in flavor of the patty compared to the beef version, but I think it still has a beef-like flavor and is pretty good.

...oh, you're not in the US.
Mostly because it's Impossible Whoppers in the US, I think. Not entirely sure. In Germany I think it's "Plant Whopper" or something like that.
I tend to point out how bad of a German I am (beyond not being natively German) because of not really liking potatoes or beer.
Not really sure what's wrong with me. :)

I live in an area that is known for many craft beer breweries, and wine too, but I don't like beer and I rarely drink alcoholic beverages in general..
There was a German restaurant very close to me that was only there for a couple years, and it closed down several months ago.. I was
disappointed to see it close, as there aren't many German restaurants in my area, and I liked their food.
I do think the Impossible Meat things are pretty interesting, and am sad that I can't get them in Europe (GMO regulations. And not discussing that, here; just sad I can't get an interesting product here, much like my desire for Wisconsin cheese in Germany.).
In furthering that, I've ordered two gin advent calendars and one wine advent calendar.
I will not get through them in December. But having 100ml bottles of wine definitely appeals to me, as it's about as much wine as I'd want to drink, and if I pour half of _that_ out, it's still not very much.
Though this does also remind me of a German store in San Francisco. When I visited it, after having lived in Germany the first time, it felt a bit like being back. Even though I would be getting things like Tempo tissues.
Nifty! Kind of like how the fortune cookie came from San Francisco.
I compare this a bit to kebab places in Germany, where, sure, it seems like a Turkish thing or something, but it's _really_ German.

I think Impossible Meat is interesting too, and I support it.
I hear about Wisconsin cheese, but as someone who lives in Oregon
(another US state), we have a dairy here called Tillamook
Creamery (named after the town of Tillamook, Oregon) that makes
some really good cheese (they make good ice cream too). Even
within Oregon though, their products tend to be more expensive
than other more generic stuff, so I don't buy it all the time.
I will agree that Tillamook ice cream is excellent. Maybe the best I've ever had. However... the best cheese is from Cabot Creameries, in
Cabot, Vermont. Especially notable is the "Seriously Sharp" cheddar.
It can be found in many grocery stores these days.

The Kebab is not German. The reason they are ubiquitous in Germany is due to the large number of Turks living there.

I've always heard of the kebab as a Turkish (or mediterranean food).
I've never heard of it as a German food.. And in my area, I always see kebabs served at restaurants that are considered mediterranean, middle-eastern, etc.. There's also a couple of Lebanese restaurants in
my area that serve kebab. In contrast, I've never seen kebab at a
German restaurant.

Not familiar with these, but they sound a lot like honey roasted cashews.
To my pallete, they taste like an ultra-low fat meat - it lacks the mouthfeel of meat, but has the flavor and texture down pretty well.
Makes for a pretty good burger.
My wife's been vegetarian for the last 5 years, and her take on it is instead of eating veggies made to look like meat, she'd rather just have vegetables. She's not trying to replace meat.

The kebab places in Germany are German food with a strong Turkish

German as fortune cookies are American food.
But, as I said:

Sometimes I've wondered what makes a food 'from' a particular place? If
a group of Turkish people emigrate to another country and invent some
new food dishes there, is it still Turkish food, or is the food from the country they're now living (and would be considered Turkish-inspired food)?
