DR. PETER BALLERSTEDT
- This is one incredibly smart man.
- Check out his lecture: “Ruminant Reality: Livestock, Human Health and Environment” here.
- He has studied the needs of humans and diet.
- A low carb diet with plenty of meat is important.
- We evolved because we ate meat.
- He and Vinnie met at Low Carb USA!
- High fiber is important to feed beef livestock – better for them, makes it better for us, too.
WE NEED COWS
- Cows are not causing climate change.
- It’s not even their farts that would.
- The UN put out a report that claimed livestock produced more emission than all transportation.
- What they DON’T acknowledge is that study is recognized as being flawed and its authors even retracted and corrected it.
- The reality is they make up about 2% of emissions.
- We DO need to get better at controlling how we raise our food.
- 1/32nd of an apple represents arable land on the world.
- 1/4th represents land that is good for grazing.
MEAT MYTHS

- “Raising cattle is a waste of water.”
- Truth: Cows are not ‘destroying’ water – they recycle it.
- “Cows are ruining the land.”
- Truth: Ruminant animals are incredibly important for our soil.
- They have evolved with the grasses.
- There wouldn’t BE society like there is now without raising cows.
