"Basically America grows a huge amount of cereals, which have to find a home, enter the cow/pig etc. Then you go about manufacturing reasons why this is the way it is meant to be." Agree. There is mounting evidence that heavy meat/dairy american diet is not particularily healthy... heart disease, diabetes, obesity. And more ogrganizations are endorsing vegetarian diets as healthy.

You will note that I said some of us "believe". The point being the jury may still be out on the subject. This is not the forum for sucha debate I just don't like the vegetarians trying to make an environmental issue out of diet. Anybody can write a book exposing their own views. I suggest you check out "nutrition and physical degeneration" by Price. he spent 14 years going around the world studying people and diet. studied 14,000 people. His conclusion ; no groups who were vegetarians for a generation or more had developed healthy bodies. Fossil records indicate that many degenerative disease were unknown before humans settled into farms eating a diet high in grains.
