The items you posted were quite long and I did not have the time to read them in full. Time allowing, I will do that today. It's a beautiful day here, and should b 65. My cherry and ornamental plum trees are budding out and may bloom today. That's a long-winded way of saying I may spend my time today outside, and not inside on the computer.

<<The important point (and this was in all those posts I don't think you read) is that producing meat is an ecological disaster for the planet. It creates enormous pollution, causes clear cutting of forests, uses enormous amounts of water, and takes land out of production that could be better used for growing grain.>> I've never seen any forests cut to create grazing land. Crop land, yes but not land for grazing. As for the water most comes from creeks and ponds, not city water supplies. I've never seen one acre of land taken out of grain production to raise livestock. I have seen cattle in cornfields after harvest eating waste grain.
