Crops, Livestock, and Sustainability

Happy New Year to All, and to all less beef. Less beef is better for you, and for our Earth.

The following links are very detailed, but I think also very worthwhile, thought provoking, and good references for future study.

First from Dr. McDougall re what we eat, and why Al Gore just made a huge statement with his change to becoming a vegan.

So then I checked out the detailed link from the UN about the Livestock's Long Shadow. (This is a big link, but do try to read the executive summary).

Now since the UN paper was from 2006, I did some additional research of my own, and found a very recent and thorough study by the International Livestock Institute and 2 others titled "......hoofprints".

In a nutshell, if you care about our Earth and still want to eat animal protein, eat chickens.......or go fishing.
