“We have to stop destroying the planet as we feed ourselves,” a World Bank official said, as red meat and dairy drive CO2 emissions.

Cows and milk are out, chicken and broccoli are in — if the World Bank has its way, that is.

In a new paper, the international financial lender suggests repurposing the billions rich countries spend to boost CO2-rich products like red meat and dairy for more climate-friendly options like poultry, fruits and vegetables. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to save the planet from climate change, the bank argues.

The politically touchy recommendation — sure to make certain conservatives and European countries apoplectic — is one of several suggestions the World Bank offers to cut climate-harming pollution from the agricultural and food sectors, which are responsible for nearly a third of global greenhouse gas emissions.

The paper comes at a diplomatically strategic moment, as countries signed on to the Paris Agreement — the global pact calling to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius — prepare to update their climate plans by late 2025.

Any advice for a person who doesn't really like the mushy texture of beans or chickpeas? I love hummus but I can't do whole chickpeas.

I love hummus, too!

  • Try black beans and edamame, they are more crunchy.
  • Try different brands and put small amounts in every meal until you get used to it.
  • Buy a pressure cooker and cook dried beans yourself. The are cheaper und the texture is so much better! You can cook more than you need and put them in the freezer for later use.

You can roast them in an airfryer. Chickpeas in particular come out well that way.

Roasted chickpeas with cauliflower is the bomb, especially with some cajun seasoning

Whole chickpeas do have a disagreeable texture. Black beans and edamame don't squick me the same way, so maybe give them a try if you haven't already?

There are several recipes that call for mashed chickpeas. Especially sandwishes.

You can make burger patties with mashed beans or mashed chickpeas, and another ingredient that holds it together such as crumbled bread.

When you have cooked black beans, you can blend them, with onions, garlic, salt, and romarino, and use them as filling for soft maize tacos, with spicy sauce. I've also been meaning to try them as a dip for maize chips, haven't done that yet.

There's also something weird that I sometimes do, in that I've never heard of anyone else doing that or seen any recipe for that, it's just something I do: I blend romano beans into a pizza sauce. I put a generous amount of sauce on my pizza, and lot of vegetables. I love my pizzas like this and it makes for a complete meal with protein.
