[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 450711, member: 13"] This is a really one sided report. They don't take into account the fuel that would be needed and emissions that would be produced if we replaced the beef in our diet with grains. There's not enough land in production in this country to feed everyone a straight veggie diet. Forests would have to be cut down, lots more diesel spent plowing, planting, harvesting, processing, delivering veggies to replace the benefits of beef. Then you have the byproducts of producing food for humans, the corn cobs, the carrot tops, the pea pods, much of that goes to the animal feeding industry. No animal feeding industry? Then it would have to be hauled out and dumped to rot, it would emit more gas than cattle in the feedlot. Some group just did a report on New York State and found that including some meat in the diet was more efficient than a straight vegetarian diet. [/QUOTE]
