This is the third time that you have posted this question. Once again, just because you don't like to eat meat and most likely want to give animals more rights then humans doesn't make a fact. Livestock production is no where near the #1 cause of global warming.

humorous you may desire to show that because of the fact majority of the scientists who got here up with the stats are no longer vegetarians... possibly because of the fact they are somewhat clever human beings and understand that advancing urbanization into organic habitats and over inhabitants are the muse motives of the undertaking and not farm animals.. farm animals raising is entirely a symptom... what's humorous approximately that's that when examining on propaganda from schedule pushed vegetarian web content, "armchair experts" consistently think of they understand greater advantageous than the persons who surely devote their lives to such examine.. And farm animals production motives 17% of greenhouse gasses on the same time as human commercial activity, exceedingly city centers reason seventy 5%. it would surely be greater efficient for the government to kill all of the persons in and wreck the cities themselves if effectiveness is what you're searching for for.. Lol... YouTube as a source of "authentic" information?

What have you ever seen the government do well? Social Security? Medicare? The New Orleans levee system? Cash for Clunkers?

There is nothing wrong with eating meat. Just don't buy meat that was raised on hormones and antibiotics. Buy high quality grass fed beef from someone who knows what they are doing. Grass fed beef is leaner and has omega 3 fatty acids. It is much healthier than the traditional way of raising cattle. More and more cattle ranchers are raising their animals naturally and taking better care of their land.

People are omnivorous. We need the protein, vitamins and minerals that meat provides. Besides, we love our big fat juicy steaks and hamburgers:)

Livestock is the number one cause ehh?
If you actually believe that.. then there is no helping you! Obviously you believe whatever dribble you find on the internet that supports your cause without even investigating.
The EPA lists the two main causes of rising green house gases as burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. And guess what smarty pants.. slash and burn farming in the rain forest is done mainly to produce VEG!
According to the EPA livestock enteric fermentation (farts) is tied with paddy rice farming as a green house gas producer.

There is no issue with eating lean beef, the health issues come from the eating of high cholesterol meats like pork, fish or foul. The vitamins needed for good brain development just are not found in these meats or in vegetables without supplements made from beef byproducts. Recent discoveries show that the rise in obesity is caused by the increased consumption of these high fat content meats instead of leaner beef. A vegan diet without vitamin supplements containing vitamins derived from beef byproducts is one of the major causes of Alzheimer's along with not seasoning food good enough to maintain health.

Posting the same question over and over and over isn't going to stop people from eating meat or make them buy into the cow farts global warming theory.
Liberals have already invested themselves in the CO2 global warming/climate change theory and changing or adding cow farts to their list of Human Atrocities is likely to backlash.
