It contributes valuable nutrients and protein..." No, the bottom line is that there is nothing in meat that we cannot get more efficiently in a plant based diet.<br /><br />Furthermore, the idea that "meat" is sustainable --- In order to "feed the world" is a mis-statement. We can feed 6 - 10 times more people on a plant based diet. It takes 3.5 acres of land to grow food for a meat eater and less than a half an acre for someone on a vegan diet. Your problem is that your industry is finally being revealed for what it is: wasteful, inefficent, unhealthy and horrible in it's treatment to sentient beings.<br /><br />And the saddest thing is that none of it is "necessary".Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6971804762045454838.post-81132921025589128492009-12-16T17:40:10.324-08:002009-12-16T17:40:10.324-08:00While I'm not highly educated on this I do bel...While I'm not highly educated on this I do believe that global warming is something that has occured in the past. As far as the gas tax, my husband and I have a dairy farm and we have cows that they would like to blame for greenhouse gases. Well, no one is talking about crediting us for the oxygen produced by the acres and acres of crops we grow. Keep up the good work of educating and showing your love for what you do. Even though times are tough in the dairy business we wouldn't trade the opportunity that has been given to us for anything.Diane Reed Loewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935632733722143598noreply@blogger.com
