Having spent 5 days in mountain huts of the Austrian Alps, this is what I was craving for the most (the second one was a shower). Other than the physical effort, food is the biggest challenge on these multi-day hiking trips. The meal options almost completely lack fresh veggies and fruits, and are mostly meat oriented. The vegetarian options are limited and lack protein therefore I often resort to eating meat. Quite the opposite of my everyday diet.
Given that folks who give non-zero fucks about climate change are likely overrepresented among the guest of these huts, it’s especially sad how little the operators care about offering decent low carbon footprint food (i.e. no meat).
Locally sourced food is also rare. The hills are full of game, but I’ve never seen that on the menu.
Most ironically, one hut had a coffee machine using powdered milk while hundreds of cows were grazing literally at the doorstep.
@mrc If you care so much about climate change kill your self. You’d directly stop climate change by eliminating all future emissions use from your future self. Also energy cannot be created nor destroyed so by eating meat, the meat becomes a part of you. It’s a cycle, climate change is used for coercion and control by a bunch of rich Jewish lobbyists who don’t give a fuck about the climate. Humanity also is a species and a part of the natural world.
