I say we don't.

Then we can eat the cows that burp.

Global warming is a myth.

And who wants to be a vegetarian? I want my bacon!

I'd rather watch the ice caps melt while eating a polar bear sandwich.

You don't have to become a 100% vegetarian. Just cutting back your meat portions and/or the amount of your meal that involve meat is a good start (for your health and apparently the environment).

And it is not just animal flatulence, it is also the shear amount of manure that industrial farming produces (which then gets sprayed on vegetables which then leads to them being recalled because they are now contaminated with bacteria that exists in feces), the amount of grain and water it takes to produce 1 kilo of meat (that grain and water could be used to feed the poor) and the forest that need to be chopped down to store the industrial animals and plant the foods they eat.

Overall, it would be better if people at least cut back. In western cultures, a normal meal often involves a slab of meat (steak) whereas in other cultures, they use smaller quantities of meat to add flavor to other recipes. The luxury of a slab of meat per average person with 1or 2/3s of every meal is a foreign concept for most cultures.

Well if all the cows are farting too much, then we should eat them.

Being a vegetarian, can I just point out that I actually fart a lot more than most meat eaters thanks to the fact that my body's digesting the stuff that the cows normally digest.

Polar bears don't fart so much methane, so we can farm them just fine... might be a little difficult farming a predator.

Oh and don't eat the livers, they are poisonous.

I'm sure it helps if we just eat less meat and eat white meat and lamb etc.

I heard (not sure if this is true), that if you were walking into town, it'd be better for the enviroment to drive in a flipping RANGE ROVER, rather than walk, if the energy for you to walk was from a burger.

And Global warming isn't a myth, though I do think some parts are exaggurated.

Grass?

I actually became Vegetarian a few months ago for environmental reasons. Partly global warming, but mainly because the planet couldn't even sustain us if the entire world attempted to eat the meat heavy diets that the Western world does.

The amount of land, resources and energy that go in to growing what is required for a vegetarian meal are far less than the amount that goes in to a meat dish. If we didn't have to worry about producing the overwhelming amount of grain and hay that farm animals require, the world would be a lot better off.

That said, next time I'm at the Guelph Farmer's market, I'm stopping at the grass fed, hormone free elk meat stand. I can't wait to try that stuff.
