Read the evidence. It's been out there for decades. The majority of our farm land is being used to feed livestock, predominantly beef, but also dairy. Those crops are using, and fouling, the majority of our clean water. Our visit to Wisconsin (which was BEAUTIFUL) had some of the nastiest tasting water, because of run off from the fields.
Some scientists believe that methane from our cows is a greater contributor to the emissions that attack the ozone layer than fossil-fueled engines.
Coupled with the laxity of our food-industry sanitation and quality control, meat and dairy is bad news in general, but especially for the environment.

why don't you act like you talk and move out to the wilderness and live off berries and grass and lake water?
That would actually help the problem you are talking about, than making the problem worse by using valuable energy to live in a house and make internet posts.
Sorry, but I just really hate the hypocrisy of global warming freaks.

What's next, environmentalists say no to Pull My Finger Day?
From the AP
yesterday
WASHINGTON - An analysis of global temperatures by independent statisticians shows the Earth is still warming and not cooling as some global warming skeptics are claiming.The analysis was conducted at the request of The Associated Press to investigate the legitimacy of talk of a cooling trend that has been spreading on the Internet, fueled by some news reports, a new book and temperatures that have been cooler in a few recent years.
In short, it is not true, according to the statisticians who contributed to the AP analysis.

Water "tastes" different from one area to another, if you are an adult, I can't believe you wouldn't have realized this by now.
If you didn't have the water tested for contaminants in a lab, you might just be engaging in hyperbole.
From my personal experience, reducing meat from one's diet does not require living in the woods and further spreading urban sprawl. Presently, I am living in an RV, where our environmental footprint is actually quite small. And, no, we do not use more fuel -- we are actually using less.
As for the quip about my taste of water, if you research the issue, you will find that Wisconsin water quality has been tested and found to have toxic levels of organic waste in the samples, caused from run-off from their agriculture -- dairy farms AND feed crops.
Rather than make irresponsible quips and jeers online, why not work with the facts and try to make this world a better place?

You brought no facts or supporting data to the discussion, just opinion and conjecture.
"Cause I say so" , doesn't really do it for me.
