meat is murder

a kilogram of beef is responsible for the equivalent of the amount of CO2 emitted by the average European car every 250 kilometres, and burns enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for nearly 20 days.
Of course as a long time vegetarian this is not exactly news to me, even if I didn’t know these exact facts. I mean it’s always seemed an expensive and unnecessary means of producing protein.
Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane released from the animals’ digestive systems, while the acid and fertilising substances come primarily from their waste. Over two-thirds of the energy goes towards producing and transporting the animals’ feed.
