Some environmentalists apparently hate animals. Others apparently hate plants. But they all hate humans:IMHO, they're condemned to eternal re-incarnation in this world.

they have coalesced around a message that eating meat is worse for the environment than drivingWhacko, pure and simple. I'm beginning to think people who don't eat meat lose some of the important proteins and enzymes which help the brain to function.

Sorry, but I’m neither an environmentalist or a vegan/vegetarian, or whatever. I don’t even know the proper terminology.

too chicken to go vegetarian
If they want Manbearpig to go on a diet they should just come out and say so.

Gone obviously. The animal rights campaigners need to ask themselves: how would the complete eradication of animals improve their lot?. It would be a plus as these animals would no longer be exploited.

Soooo, then it must be a good thing if the polar bears, wolves, grizzly bears and all those other meat eaters vanish.
To: neverdem
the most inconvenient truth of all is that raising animals for meat contributes more to global warming than all the sport utility vehicles combined.What does it all mean Mr Natural?

When that report came out, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other groups expected their environmental counterparts to immediately hop on the Go Veggie! bandwagon, but that did not happen.That did not happen because the halting of global warming is not the true agenda of the enviros, and a massive shift in diet does nothing to "hogtie" capitalism.

So shouldn’t we all eat veal and foie gras? They are basically confined and quickly slaughtered thereby generating less greenhouse gases. Woo hoo, blanquette for all!

I guess I have to be the lone voice for common sense vegetarians here, but this article is talking about commercial meat production and comparing the emission of greenhouse gases of the meat industry versus ALL emissions from transportation and factory production combined.
Since it takes (just for an example) 1000 gallons of water to produce one pound of meat, I generally ask people whether or not they would prefer to give up family showers for a month or 1 pound of meat a month. The same amount of grain it takes to make one pound of animal protein is sufficient to feed 15 starving people for at least one day. It’s a matter of choice.

I hadn’t decided what I was going to have for dinner tonight, but now I think I’m gonna have a nice juicy steak.

Some backlash against this position is inevitable, the groups acknowledge, but they do have scientific ammunition. if ya want ta call BLANKS ammunition...

Global warming is bunk. It's also BS, and I am not referring to barbara streisand.
