Being vegetarian worse than eating meat?

At least in the UK........ Being vegetarian does more harm to the environment than eating meat | Mail Online

The kicker is the backers of the report is the WWF. I bet they weren't counting on that result. From the article: "Donal Murphy-Bokern, one of the report’s authors and a former co-ordinator at the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs told the Times: ‘For some people, tofu and other meat substitutes symbolise environmental friendliness but they are not necessarily the badge of merit that people claim.’"

I was wondering what the atomic suplex has to do with eating meat

At some date, organic fertilizer will have to be used more. Its production and collection will also need to be systematized. Wonder if this will have some impact on message boards in general?

ok gist is if you replace your meat with a meat substitute its worse but then eating a cow that has been heavily processed into a burger is less enviromentally friendly than eating a freshly butchered steak or just taking a bite out of the cow:) - if you replace it with beans grown in the back garden, or on a local farm, same with lentils, pearl barley etc, it will be different than eating Linda Mc Cartney Sausage Casserole.

Thos is the Daily Mail makes George Bush look like a raving leftie

Hey, I know more than a few awesome left-handers.

Isn't it obvious, the answer is too stop eating.

we get our beef from a cow...not from a store. We buy from a rancher who has it butchered and packaged...no preservatives etc....The only thing more natural would be to just bite a cow. (sorry Beefche)

A person has to laugh at the fad stuff in regard to food. Use common sense. Eat to live don't live to eat and all things in moderation.

I make most of my food from scratch and I mean SCRATCH. Like getting rennet from a calf stomach to make my cheese from my cows milk. I do this because its fun. If its better for me then great but I have no prob with store bought. We eat very little processed/prepared foods which I feel are not terribly healthy.

I know a family of 7 that eat prepared food almost exclusively and they are sick more than ANY family I have ever seen. I am convinced if they would just start cooking their own meals they would see a huge reduction in their medical expenses.

As far as meat goes we mostly eat elk which I hear is pretty good for you as far as meat goes. I have family who are vegitarian and I don't see where they are benefitting. Not saying its bad but to me its just another extreme one can go to.

As a young teenager, I lived on my Uncles small farm (about eighteen acres) for about two years. Milk, cheese and butter came from the cows. Wheat from the farm was stored and hand cracked for the daily bread. All soup ingredients were from the two acre garden.

I still remember how good cracked wheat bread, toasted, with home made butter taste.

As good and fresh as it was, I would still rather take a trip to Olive Garden.
