How many emissions does that make?License |Some rights reservedPhoto | Jeremy Brooks / Flickr Today's topic is food, and it's going to be pretty brief, because you can see the graph of what carbon footprint each food has for all the essentials. From this it follows which food to prefer and which to put aside. We know, ads are annoying. And we respect that you have them turned off :-) We will be happy if you support us in a different way.

As can be seen from the graph, a climate-neutral society will eat mostly vegan. Mainly because a healthy diet is varied.

At the same time, there is no indication that anyone wants to regulate animal foods in any way, so no one will probably ban your meat, no worries.

A climate-neutral society, however, will listen more to the ethical and environmental appeal of why animals should not be killed and profited from. At least not as intensively as the Czech Republic is used to today, where sausage for breakfast, sirloin steak for lunch and ribs for dinner are common.

The rise of cultured meat, which is meat of animal origin in which scientists have mimicked the process of tissue formation, is likely to contribute to the decline of animal meat. So it's a steak that grows without having to admit a bull, feed it, give it lots of water, stuff it with antibiotics, and then cut it up at the slaughterhouse. It's not a meat substitute, it IS meat. One cow was sacrificed for this so that entire generations would not have to suffer because of it. Cow Jesus.

In 2013, a cultured hamburger cost $300,000. Just $300 three years ago and very soon the price will cross conventional breeding and go even lower.

I'm looking forward to the dilemma of vegans, whether it's allowed to eat it, and the disinformation campaign that cultured meat causes infertility up to the third generation, contains chips, or at least that we don't know that it won't make a mess of us in ten years. It will all come.

But cultured meat will be available in Europe within a year, in the Czech Republic within three years, and the next or the next generation will look at the killing of animals for meat with the same contempt as we look at cultures that eat dogs today.

Nutrition experts also say that eating meat (whether animal or cultured) five times a day every day is not healthy. However, it is sometimes difficult to find something non-meat to eat. This will be a big task for Czech restaurants that offer twenty meat dishes - and a fryer. There is no reason for this emphasis on meat, we are simply used to it and we can also get used to the opposite ratio or at least a balanced one.

What the system can do

Lead by example again. In the canteen of the Ministry of the Environment, there are four dishes to choose from, of which three are meat, including beef, and one is vegetarian (the "vegetarian chilli con carne" is a hit - sic!). Try to guess what food is available at the MŽP in Copenhagen, Brussels or Stockholm.

Start with cooking apprentices at schools. If their education is again focused on meat with meat, they will not be able to prepare meatless dishes and so their customers will order tried and tested meat dishes.

The state should reconsider the agricultural policy and the distribution of agricultural subsidies. Today, the state is striving for food self-sufficiency in beef as well, but there won't be much room for it in a climate-neutral society.

This will be a challenge for the future setting of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy, and member states must proceed in a coordinated manner.

What you can do

What you eat is your choice. You don't have to go vegan overnight, but it's a big change. Start by imagining yourself as a vegan in a few years without being upset. Learn new vegetarian and new vegan recipes and add them to your repertoire. Designate one vegetarian and one vegan day per week. And finally, on the contrary, set one or two holidays and go without meat for the rest of the week.

If you have a choice (ie not at grandma's for lunch), prefer a meat-free meal. In larger cities, the meat-free selection is already quite large, elsewhere we are mostly dependent on fried foods in restaurants. If that's not enough for you, politely tell the staff that there is such a demand.
