And they wouldn't completely ruin the environment with that stuff, how? Big Business doesn't care. It doesn't. That's not news. Even if everyone on Earth were to become a vegetarian, what makes people think that they just wouldn't pump hormones into that stuff too?

I'll admit I haven't given this much thought, or attention, and don't really care to but...

Is this not false economy anyway? The emissions from meat production are high because there is a lot of it...

Hypothetically, if meat were to be stopped being produced then the production of something else would have to go up to replace it, therefore emissions would theoretically stay the same.

no f-ing chance that i'm going to stop eating beef.

i still think emissions from cars and industry are a bigger problem than a bunch of cow farts.

The faster we eat em, the last chance they have to fart.

Also, I've stopped eating all vegetation entirely, since they clean the air.

While my diet replants the rain forest, Dr. Pussscardi is just trying to save his ass from the wrath of Kalki. *cough*agenda*cough*

I've heard this a few years ago, I think on a Penn & Teller episode. There's not a lot you can do to change than lessen the amount of our cattle.

No that's another battle. Monsanto bought up all the seeds because some jack ass at the copyright company decided you can copyright an organism so they created their own seed that is resistant to their pesticide but it's horribly bad for you and only organic stuff doesn't have it.

But it's sad I grew up eating that stuff and organic stuff tastes funny to me. It taste like it has a chemical taste even though it's everything else that's covered in chemicals.

Oh I agree, I'm cooking a tritip as I type this.

Actually one cow produces more gas then two cars I believe it was. Yeah it's frightening and baffling to think about.

Yes and eating cows is good because they eat grass which cuts down on brush fires in the summer.

That was something that was actually posted on this website when I did my research. http://www.beeffrompasturetoplate.org/default.aspx

I can see it's now since been removed. I don't know about you but I've noticed it's been getting hotter in the summer.
