Study: lettuce worse than bacon

[Ironhold]

...for the environment.

UK's "The Independent" is reporting that under certain circumstances, the process of growing various items of produce is worse for the environment than meat.

Yeah.

Everything is worse than Bacon. Everything.

I always call myself a conservative vegetarian. One of the few, the proud...well, mainly just the few.

I have a conservative, LDS friend who is vegetarian not because she thinks there's anything wrong with meat, but because of the way commercial farms / ranches treat their animals.

 

Meanwhile, of course healthy food is worse for the environment. Let's follow the, um, logic:

 

* People are harming the environment in oh so many ways

* Animals raised for human consumption probably aren't much better

* Plants are good, we should let them live, not kill the poor helpless things just for food

* Bacon is not healthy for people (or pigs)

* The more bacon people eat, the sooner they'll die, and the fewer people (and pigs) we'll have

* The fewer people (and pigs) we have, the less they'll harm the environment

* Save the World: Eat More Bacon!

* (As a bonus, if you eat enough to die before reproducing any more harmful people onto the planet, the environmentalists will add your name to their honor roll.)

 

...or this is just a conspiracy on the part of the "Bacon Growers of America".

 

(Disclaimer: This post was just for fun. I believe in what the scriptures say about diet and caring for the Earth and its resources.)

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

There is a place not far from where I live that seven Gator. I must admit it's pretty tasty and taste like chicken. I used ranch dressing to dip it in.

For anyone interested, I'm still working on a string of "Global Warming" posts.  And the topic of agriculture is part of it.

Hate to be contrary (okeh, I enjoy it), but it's now "Climate Weirding".

I mean, what can you call any theory that cannot be falsified?
