RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec 11 (IPS) - "Because of its effect on the environment, cattle must be given the same priority in global agendas as nuclear weapons, wars and, in particular, climate change, says Brazilian activist João Meirelles Filho, author of two books on Amazon deforestation."
The most shocking part of this article is that the cattle that exist in the world consume more food than people. This seems like a relatively easy thing to change. Do we need $1 hamburgers? Cheap beef? The environmental costs don’t seem worth it to me.
I’m not going to elaborate anymore than I already have. This is a sensitive issue to some people, I have found, and I don’t know your beef consumption. By posting this I am not judging anyone, I just want to inform people. My biggest concern is this planet and the life on it. All life on it.
