The thing that kills me is there is much that can be done to reduce carbon emissions...which isn't a bad idea no matter which side of the fence you're on.

Can Cattle Save Us From Global Warming?

Interesting read... but simply not raising the cattle would still be much better for the environment than raising just as much cattle as before but on grass.

It seems like a half-hearted idea.

Besides, with the amount of animals being raised for food in this country alone, I seriously doubt it's even realistically feasible to raise them all on grass at this point.

So, while I agree that raising all cattle on grass instead of on feedlots would help, simply not eating the burger would help MUCH more. Of course I realize that as this point in human history that expectation is (sadly) quite unrealistic.

I do my part though! I haven't eaten any meat in over 10 years and I use mass-transit every day.
