[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 956775, member: 45598"] Meat and Dairy farming counts for something like 15% of the world's carbon emissions, beef being the worst offender because of the amount of methane cows produce in addition to the already harmful processing and packaging of the meat. Now a vegetarian diet isn't perfect either, the recent surge in popularity of quinoa for example has led to deforestation but unless you're out hunting on horseback for your food, which isn't exactly an option in suburban Dublin, the veggie option will more or less invariably be the one with the lower carbon footprint. It's only something I've realised myself in the last year or so but I've read enough expert opinions saying things like cutting beef from your diet would be better for your carbon footprint than stopping driving for it to catch my attention on the subject. After this becomes well established I think domesticated animals will be next on the warpath for environmentalists... That one will be bitter! [/QUOTE]
