Assuming each person who consumes grassfed beef and grassfed dairy milk owns the equivalent of 1 cow/steer, then that person also has approximately 10-12 acres of deforested land dedicated just to him/her.

No wonder the earth is doomed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hubbertspeak7777777', 'y')ou people worry way too fucking much. "oh no. There's a 1 in 600million chance that I might get mad cow disease. I should stop eating beef." Stop worrying so much.

I eat rare steak all the time and I don't care if I get sick. If I get sick and die, then I deserved it for having inferior genes and a weak immune system. If the bacteria/virus wins, then good for them. The victor should receive the rewards.

So - if vids of the slaughter of 1 million Iraqis surfaced...we would end this "war on terror"?

I think not.

More scare tactics.

It is all that sheeple respond to.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shannymara', 'Y')eah, with close to 7 billion people it doesn't work out very well.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TWilliam', '
')Please, let's not start the "eating meat is killing the world" nonsense again. The problem isn't meat-eating. The problem is too many people. And it is largely grain agriculture and it's generation of surplus that enables populations to expand beyond the natural carrying capacity of any given area.

That's not to say that factory farming isn't an ugly approach to rearing animals for food, but it is a symptom, not the problem.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('billg', 'I')'m not going to pursue this....yes, the problem is too many people but it also too many people who consume way too many resources.

Maybe, the American scale of consumption is sustainable with only 60 million people on the globe, but it would still be a total insult to all the other co-inhabiting species.

Anyway, we have 6.65 billion people on the globe now and it's not realistic to ask them to all live like us. I can understand why the Tuvaluans are ticked off at us as the seas encroach on their livelihood.
