The Most Inconvenient Truth: According to U.N., Animals Raised for Food Generate More Greenhouse Gases Than All Cars and Trucks Combined
Norfolk, Va. This morning, PETA sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian and offering to cook him faux fried chicken as an introduction to meat-free meals. In its letter, PETA points out that Gores film, An Inconvenient Truthwhich starkly outlines the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming and just won the Academy Award for Best Documentaryhas failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions.
In the letter, PETA points out the following:
· The effect that our meat addiction is having on the climate is truly staggering. In fact, in its recent report Livestocks Long ShadowEnvironmental Issues and Options, the United Nations determined that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.
· Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Toyota Prius.
PETA also reminds Gore that his critics love to question whether he practices what he preaches and suggests that by going vegetarian, he could cut down on his contribution to global warming and silence his critics at the same time.
The single best thing that any of us can do to for our health, for animals, and for the environment is to go vegetarian, says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. The best and easiest way for Mr. Gore to show his critics that hes truly committed to fighting global warming is to kick his meat habit immediately.

Did you see Penn & Teller's BS piece on PETA? It made me proud to be a carnivore.

Environmentalists. A bit tough and stringy, but they taste like chicken. LMAO >:-) The wife and I stock up on 1 lb. packs of ground bison at the local Kroger. Use it for bison burgers, buffaloaf (ask for my recipe - you'll die with a smile on your face), hell, even Hamburger Helper, on our lazy nights. If you substitute bison for ground beef in
anything, you'll never want to eat regular moo-cow again.

Poor Al - He's learning that once you start down that road they won't accept anything less that full compliance with the laws of enviro-whackism as they all continually try to one-up each other. Al: Okay, I'll be a vegetarian.
PETA: Not JUST vegetarian...VEGAN!!!
A;: Oh, okay...
PETA: Not JUST vegan...ORGANIC VEGAN!!
Al: Oh, okay... PETA: Not JUST organic vegan...LOCAL SUSTAINABLE ORGANIC VEGAN!!
Al: Oh, okay....
