The Ugly Side of Raising Meat to Eat

I am mostly a vegan, who also eats a bit of fish, mostly what I catch. I also strongly believe that eating a lot of meat is bad for you, and bad for our World.

Why? For starters, you can get the same nutrition from plants that you get from meat, at a cost of 1/10 of the water, energy, land area, and nutrients that eating animals costs.

Add to that all the studies (like the China Study) which show for us humans, eating only plants is far more healthy, than eating meat plus plants.

For a nice review by Marc Guenther, see Yet Another Reason to Eat Less Meat.
