The more meat you eat, the more gas you waste.

I can't remember if I posted this or not. Just came across it in some

files I was cleaning out.

 

 

 

David Pimentel of Cornell University calculates that it takes nearly

twice as much fossil energy to produce a typical American diet than a

pure vegetarian diet. This works out to about an extra 150 gallons of

fossil fuels per year for a meat-eater. This means that meat-eaters

are " driving " an extra eleven miles every day whether they really

drive or not, when we look at how much extra fuel it takes to feed

them.

Very, VERY interesting article--and I got the point the first time I read it!

Thanks for sharing!

I guess that's interesting but the most important thing to remember is that

eating dead sliced animals is just disgusting and crude!

I agree, that is a very interesting article, Jim.

Thank you for reminding us all that we are

doing a good thing for the environment by

refusing meat.
