Website blacked out after wrong numbers about meat

Agri Facts Foundation (STAF) reports that True Food Price Coalition has put the website, which contained a poster with incorrect figures about meat production, on 'black'. STAF already denounced the environmental calculations of the organization last week.

According to the coalition, reducing the meat consumption significant environmental benefits, but the basis behind this claim, according to STAF, arose from incorrect calculations. STAF calculated that the True Food Price Coalition is removing meat from the menu, but did not include a vegetarian alternative in its place. In other words: the consumer will eat less.

Small environmental gain
According to STAF, if the consumer eats a vegetarian product instead of meat, the environmental benefit is much smaller or disappears altogether. For example, the water consumption for the production of vegetarian meat replacement is actually increasing instead of decreasing.
