No this is not one of those things that cracks on meat eaters and praises vegan/vegetarians. What annoys me is how people say that vegs are ruining the planet by eating all the vegetation and how meat eaters are helping by eating the cows that are releasing all the gas into the atmosphere and ruining it. WRONG! We wouldn't have a problem with cows IF people didn't eat as much beef as they do. Cows are FORCED to get preg on factory farmers and pumped with tons of drugs and other things just to grow and have more calves. When a cow can't have any more babies then to the factory farms it's useless and beaten to death then shipped off to a slaughter house for...oh look at that...your food. All those babies are put through the same thing.
Vegs eat alot of veggies yes, BUT, we can replant them as they are harvested(as long as it's the right season). Sure they take some of the vegetation away FOR NOW, but it is replaced and the damage is fixed. Veggies are a lot easier to take care of than cows too. I mean nature does alot of it for you, the 'food' comes from the ground, nature provides water(unless it's a drought or such thing), and you just harvest it when it's ready to be eaten. You can even use the 'waste'(such as skins, cores, and seeds) to fertilize the ground!
Now after all this I just KNOW someone is going to say "I bet your a veg and that's why you're doing this" or "we were meant to eat meat!". Allow me to say this, I am a pesca-polo-tarian. meaning simply this, the only meat I eat is sea-food and chicken. I will only eat these meats if they do not come from factory farms though because I don't like the abuse the animals suffer on those farms. To answer the "meant to eat meat" thing, believe what you want. I personally believe we were to an EXTENT, such as maybe a few times a years, once a month at the absolute MOST. The meat that you eat sits in your stomach for weeks just decaying and rotting in your stomach. Would you want to eat rotting food? That's basically what your doing. If you eat meat daily then that rotting meat builds up in your stomach and can cause all kinds of bad things to happen, from as minor as a stomach ache to as major as stomach cancer.
The purpose of this is not to try to get most people to stop eating meat, that is your choice, it is just to inform people so that they stop saying "The vegetarians are destroying the planet! meat-eaters are helping it!" If you need to tell yourself that and ignore all of this then do so if you wish, it is really non of my business what you tell yourself or what you eat, I'll stick to my diet, you stick to yours.
