Review of Who Is? - Fake environmentalist

Fake environmentalist

“I was excited by the idea behind your podcast and subscribed immediately. I listened to your episode on ‘big meat’ as I find that to be a significantly important issue. I found your stance on the issue entirely disappointing. You say that you ‘will not be giving up meat’ because ‘I love eating meat’ yet you quite carefully and accurately present the far reaching, inequitable, numerous, hugely destructive consequences of animal agriculture. Your cognitive dissonance is strong. You justify your choice to not quite animal foods, and not recommend anyone else does, and also claim that ‘we’ will never give up ‘our’ meat, by suggesting that there are ‘other ways’. So what are these other ways? You suggest buying local: well, you seen quite thorough in your research so I expect you have found that transportation factors in animal agriculture are one of the least significant factors in the impact on the environment and climate change. How long did you spend talking about the impact of transport? Little to none. Because it is not a significant issue. Buying local animal foods does effectively nothing to reduce the impact of the food. Literally all the issues you raise yourself in this podcast in relation to the production of meat are still present. It mitigates them not. Land use. Run off. Cruelty. Methane. Etc etc It does not matter if it’s happening near or far. Those issues are still present. It’s no more ‘humane’ killing an animal, that doesn’t need to die, near or far. Distance means nothing of significance. Come on. You also use the ‘small farm’ argument. As if small farms don’t clear land? As if they don’t emit methane? As if they don’t pollute their environment? Why does it matter if the farm is smaller or a small business? That just mean it’s likely less efficient as well as having limited output. Not being a factory farm, rather a pasture farm, means that it will require much more land, meaning significantly more impact on the local landscape, local residents and climate change. Small farms mean nothing when mitigating the carbon cost of ‘meat’. So why use such a flimsy justifications? Because it’s as you said, ‘you like the taste.’ That’s it. You care about climate change, you’ve made a podcast about exposing the way massive corporations are putting their own gain before others and the planet, we must all do what we can to combat climate change...!!...unless it means you giving up a taste you like. The planet can go to hell if it means you’ve got to give up meat...? Please enlighten me further as to how we can produce the same, or even a small percentage of the animal foods consumed today while doing it in a sustainable carbon neutral way? I’m all ears. Your podcast failed to, but you also said you refuse to give it up. Organic pasture raised means more land use, means much more impact. Factory farming is the most environmentally friendly way of supplying animal foods to people. 98% of animal foods are factory farms, which suggests that if we were to only use organic pasture raised animal foods then it would be somewhere in the region of only 2% of the current supply. So ‘we’ll’ have to reduce our meat consumption by 98%. If ‘we’ reduce our animal food intake by 98%... then you’re basically plant based at that point really? So why not just go plant based? Unless you can explain how we will happen to find enough arable, useable land to pasture raise enough animals to meet the current and rising demand for animal foods. I’m all ears. So you don’t care? Why should I listen to your show then? Waste of time. I’ll listen to one of the many other podcasts hosted by people who are less of a phoney, virtue signalling hypocrite like yourself. If you care about climate change, and you have contempt for ‘big meat’ don’t support the industry then. If you’re not going to recommend people adopt a plant based diet, if you’re going to suggest ‘we will never give up our meat’ and at the same time criticise the world while not first fixing yourself, I have not enough regard to continue to listen. I changed. Several of my friends have quit all animal foods because of what I’ve told them, and what they’ve found themselves. We won’t change? Oh, but I did? They did? So, you’re wrong? Because they have? So, please explain, do I still eat animal foods without knowing? Do they? Which they don’t. So you are wrong. People will change, and they do. They won’t though if people like you make them feel justified by making intellectually disingenuous justifications such as ‘locally sourced’ and ‘small farms’ and ‘humane’. Fix yourself before you criticise the world. If the rest of the episodes are like this I have no interest.”

Antisemite racist podcast!!!

“This is nothing but a bigoted podcast. What does being Jewish have to do with anything that they keep have to mention it in introducing the personalities ?”

Left Wing Propaganda

☆

“I think of myself as a pretty moderate thinker and am not a big fan of some of these powerful people, but you can really tell the makers of this podcast have a strong left bias. In the first 11 episodes there are multiple examples of party leanings with opinionated statements and un-proven claims...”Read full review »
