Not even close. But there is an incredible amount of waste, with 70 percent of the grain grown in the U.S. going to feed animals who are bred for food, all the water that is wasted, all the water that is contaminated by runoff from animal confinement facilities. Cows belch out 25 gallons of methane per cow per day--tons and tons of greenhouse gasses from confined animals.<br /><br />I won't suggest we could feed the world if more people went veg or ate less meat because that's an issue of food distribution, not necessarily food being fed to animals to be fed to humans.<br /><br />Herself, one of my neighbors told me that her twentysomething niece is lactating--and she has never had a child and is most certainly not pregnant. She thinks it's the milk she drinks. And with over 60 percent of African Americans registering some kind of lactose intolerance, the "got milk" ads could be considered a little racist, don't you think?Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751812202488807442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-80848448702844305782007-01-28T17:21:00.000-08:002007-01-28T17:21:00.000-08:00Where's the proof that vegetarians live longer?

Not to mention all of the energy spent hauling all of those animals around and then keeping their dead flesh refrigerated to fend off decay and maggots as long as possible when you could have saved ALL of that energy and had 100 pounds of food at the beginning. <br /><br />It just doesn't make any sense to spend all that energy and produce all of that pollution to turn 100 pounds of food (grain or vegetable) into 1 pound of dead meat.<br /><br />I wonder when will people get it?kennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107292286081957434noreply@blogger.com
