Great site! I think, if you don’t already practice Yoga Tynan, you’d enjoy it. Another highly efficient, fun practice with a ton of benefits… and no stuff to pack around!

Anthony, I see your points on the agricultural system, but as it were, in biology there’s inefficiency in the food chain. If we can in essence “skip” a step (i.e. a vegetarian or vegan diet) then we can conserve more overall energy and resources. No matter how well any animal is raised, overall from an efficiency standpoint, more people could have been fed by utilizing that source directly.

Claiming that “meat eaters” waste more water than “vegetarians” is complete non sense and a gross over generalization.

Like Nicky alluded to, bad practices in the raising and slaughtering of animals is good for no one, and the same is true for agriculture (monocrop). Guess what feeds most of our animals? Monocrop agriculture.

The problem lies in how we grow plants, and which plants we choose to grow in the first place.

Corn, soy, wheat- these are the real problems. “Industrial meat” is a far cry from the destruction those plants, and the vegetarians that eat them, cause.

This was a great post! I’m continually surprised at how much of an affect eating meat has on all sorts of seemingly unrelated things.

I’m by no means a vegetarian, but I am trying to be more conscious of my daily decisions and you make some great points about that here. Thanks!

This reminds me of when I was a kid in Los Angeles during a drought. They told us we should call our cousins in the rest of America and tell them to turn off the water while they brush their teeth.

Apparently a lot of people leave the tap on while they brush their teeth. My teachers all felt that this was a horrible sin.

To this day I don’t leave the water on while I brush my teeth. You’re welcome mother earth.

What about electric or gas costs of using hot water?

I want to start by saying that I am often flabbergasted by people when they believe something just because that is what they were taught and have never bothered to test that view.

That is a really interesting website. I had no idea that the meat I eat is THAT bad for the environment. Likely I will not become a vegetarian but you have me considering my options.
