Speaking of ridiculous: Did you here of the U of Chicago study that people could reduce global warming by stopping the consumption of meat? If demand went down, the number of animals would be reduced, thus reducing the Methane released by intestinal gas!

Didja hear, cow gas is even worse. Parts of WI are more polluted than New York because of it. ;D

Do you find the study was silly or the outcome? Methanse gas produced by for-consumption livestock is among the top producers of greenhouse gas. Were it to be lessened, global warming would likely be slowed substantially. That we need a formal study to tell us this is a little much.

I did hear that, but I did not think it was ridiculous. It is not only related to methane, think about the amount of water (a limited resource) that is required to grow the feed for livestock, and then the amount of greenery they eat, then the amount of food you get for that per cow or pig. In relation to energy from food, eating meat takes a lot of energy, more then what is required to sustain a person who eats plant food only. Reducing your meat intake really will make a difference. I am saying this as a happy meat eater. I generally eat meat once a day (at dinner).
