Do not try to argue with me on this one. Sorry, your just dead wrong.
The amount of water needed to produce 1 pound of wheat is 25 gallons.The Amount of water needed to produce 1 pound of beef is 2,500 gallons. -Dr. Georg Borgstrom
Really sweetheart, I've done my research.
Eating meat is more harmful to the planet than driving a Hummer.
The meat industry loves promoting false info.
The reason I don't eat meat has nothing to do with saving the poor little animals (people have been eating animals for a very long time,) its because of this:

OK, that's my rant, I'll stop myself now.

cleaver,
I meant my comment as a vegetarian, I don't think eating any animal is "humane", but I really don't care if other people do. I just choose not to that's all.
And I am from the U.S. and believe me the Chinese use more of the animal. My friends father was a cattle farmer and there is a lot of waste...
Pete,
I totally agree! but more than that even is the much larger amount of water it takes to produce meat as opposed to greens.

January 4, 2009 at 3:17 PMOh I actually like stinky tofu! But I really think it smells like chicken droppings... Its that gross smell on some of the streets and restaurants in China, I really cant bring myself to eat when a restaurant smells like that...
JP and Amber that video was hilarious!!
freerider1,
I think the "west" has very odd ideas about whats "eatable" and whats not. Actually the Chinese use a lot more of the animal and I think its a lot less wasteful.
I don't think a line should be drawn when eating an animal as to whats "humane" to eat and whats not...

Don't worry, I know its your job to keep things under control!
Its funny though "sunshine" is not nearly as offensive... but it would depend on how it was said of course.
