Brainless Environmentalists

The question i keep asking is if by most scientists and the Un's own reports account, cattle contribute more to atmospheric changes, pesticide run off, deforestation, and the ruin of good farm land, why isn't there a hysteria about the dangers of the meat industry?

If we're really concerned about the leading cause of our envoirnmental impact, why hasn't this been adressed? Where's the inconvenient truth about hamburgers movie?

Its been treated as a joke, passed over and were right back to human emissions. There's no doubt or debate about where the responsibility lies and only we can change it.

I smell serious ulterior motives.

It was called SuperSize Me. And, it was a bunch of crap science, too.

Theirs a religious fanatic in every thread. Where you this sure about global cooling or mass starvation from overpopulation in the west in the 80's?

Apples & Oranges, but believe what you want.


Just do your own homework before making up your mind.


Now where did I put my keys??? Aw whatever, pass the bong...

That was a movie about dietary issues. I'm talking about envoirnmental impact and the fact that the cattle industry does way more damage than oil and emissions.

I'm talking about crap science, which doesn't serve anyone except the people whose agendas are supported by it (and whose pockets are lined using it).

And, the movie was about hamburgers, after all...

My knowledge about this is limited, but i say +1.

Americans, and the Earth, would be healthier if there were bison all over the US instead of cattle farms. At least that's my impression.

Buffalo don't fart?

Those of you that sling dirt, check yourself. There are reactionaries on all sides of a discussion, and they are unfortunate. When you sling names or snarky dismissals about whoever YOU are reacting to, you just dropped yourself to the lowest level of the discussion.

It's just not as sexy as worldwide floods, but try swimming in it.

No worries mate! In the end we're all worm food anyways

No reason to get upset just because someone doesn't agree with you, it would be a pretty boring world if everyone did.

If we're hurdling down this road well then I guess I'll give in and contribute...

there are a few farms that run the heaters in the barns off of methane gas collected and processed from manure.

Just down the road a bit, you can smell it for miles...

After a rain everything in the runoff path dies...

Bacon double cheeseburger, anyone? I'm guessing each one contributes about forty pounds to my carbon footprint!
