Carbon footprint of animals and meat eaters?

[Joel Thompson]

If we can remove meat from our diet, we are dooing more for the enviorment than buying a Pryus.The emisions from livestock are more than all the internal cumbustion engines in the world combined.l think all of that livestock does more to harm the enviorment.And anyone who has ever driven past the huge meat factory can smell.

NO KIDDING - You totally have a point! And for those who have never driven by one of those stinky cow farms, I'll tell you that the farm near Sacramento, CA. off I-5 will make you want to re-evaluate EVER eating beef again!! It is by far the most pungent, disgusting smell I have ever had the misfortune of inhailing against my own will!!

I know it is bad,i know of people that have been made very ill during that drive.That facillity was closed down for abusing calfs and adding contaminated meat to there product line,(sick cows and cows with cancer and disease are not to be mixed but they were caught and closed for a few weeks).A gas mask helps or resurculating the A.C. helps a bit.

[Reed L. Porter]

Good point. Plus it takes around 2000 gallons of water to create one pound of beef. Eating meat is not a sustainable diet.

That is a explination of why we have water shortage,what a startiling fact.
