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.
