Im not going to watch the vid, but animal rights groups and environmentalists are all over cattle ranching. Its a horrible horrible assault on the environment and living things by gratuitously selfish, me-oriented heathens.
A lot of them "pro life" too lol . . . We (the 4%, sane rational minority) should feed humans to the animals, 'cept the animals would think conservatives too bitter and rancid to swallow.

Also, with climate change, it's a mistake to assume that water will always be plentiful, no matter how much it rains normally where you live. Water is becoming more and more scarce, and as supplies dry up in the drier parts of the world, the inhabitants will flock to places with relatively more water, increasing competition for a decreasing supply.
Exactly my point. 1 hamburger = 2 months worth of showers for a person

I watched it recently and thought it was excellent.

Two things stood out to me after viewing.

1). How many environmentalist have been killed for speaking out.

2). Greenpeace and Sierra Club organizations refusing to acknowledge the problem of factory farms and its affects on the planet.

Yet on the flip side think of how much water the cows save by not showering.

I think the days of mass meat farming might end in the not too distant future.

Synthetic meat that is indistinguishable (or even close) from the real thing, would change most people's minds I think -more so if it's better for the environment.
