Do you use your own source of electricity? Do you wear or use leather goods? Drive a car? etc

Looking at the Amazon on Google maps and how much has been razed in order to provide land for grazing is pretty damning on the cheap meat culture front. We humans are destructive and greedy cvnts. By 2090 The whole earth will end up looking like Middlesborough and everyone will be fat. Even anorexics will be over 12 stone.

Most vegetarians are Liberals. Liberals make up 85% of bad parents in the UK. 100% of Victoria Cross winners have been meat eaters. There you go.
Well educated themselves but hate those who go to good schools. Good jobs themselves but hate anyone else who makes money. Hate the coffee trade but have no dramas with their own cocaine habit. Huge advocates of democracy unless someone disagrees with them. Will work as hard as they can to make a person or group into a victim and foster as much division as they can then decry others for a lack of harmony in society. Think parenting is about letting kids run riot. Probably quite weedy. Possibly bead wearing. Edited by Lombardos barber (12 Apr 2015 5.27pm)

“I’ve had an epiphany recently. I want to challenge all of you as people of deep conscience, people who are environment stewards of the earth and oceans…By changing what you eat, you will change the entire contract between the human species and the natural world.” Referring to his switch to a vegan diet, Cameron stated… “I felt like I was waking up from a long sleepwalk. I believe we are all sleepwalking off a cliff if we don’t do this.” I'll do him a deal - I'll stop eating meat when he stops making sh*t films. Back on topic - my eldest is a veggie and has been for about 4 years. I now eat a lot more veggie meals than I did and if it wasn't for cheeseburgers and bacon could probably go the whole hog (no pun intended)

Most of India is veggie. The sandal wearing, mung bean eating....er.... ....maybe its the lack of meat in the diet that makes them a bit 'rapey' ????

Nope. We should just eat seasonal, regional and sustainable. This is obviously the correct answer. The problem is that we have forgotten what is seasonal as everything is in the supermarkets all year round. We rarely get a choice about regional, unless we are willing to shop around to find it. Sustainable is the key but that restricts the choice that we have become used to. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall writes very well about this subject.

We probably shouldn't eat as much meat as we do, as that's not really suited to our biology - and ethically / morally its impossible to really sustain an argument for eating meat. That said, its a reality of human existence that we do eat meat (and some species only exist because we do). What concerns me more is the treatment of animals prior to slaughter and the process of slaughter itself (and the wastage in supermarkets).

But, as an individual, most of the things often suggested for tackling climate change are either massively impractical or just laughably ineffective. Cutting out meat and fish is not only easily the most effective thing a person can do (51% of greenhouse emissions come from livestock, which is f*cking insane if you sit back and think about it) but also the easiest. Obviously it involves two main sacrifices. Eating animals, which really isn't that hard in this day and age. The second one, which far more people succumb to, is being called gay/a hippy/a girl by uber-males who's first response to another person's legitimate moral decision is to throw insults at it. Once you learn how to tell them to grow up and do one, you'll find being a veggie is actually pretty straightforward.

It's impossible. Either prices would go through the roof, you admit defeat and accept that animals have to be treated like sh*t for us to enjoy a cheap Greggs steak bake, or we just cut down massively on our intake.

Also, as far as Climate Change goes, it's going to happen, there are far greater forces of nature at work than humans eating/not eating meat Eskimos, Masai, Icelandic people (I am sure that there are more). All need to eat meat / fish in their diet as they cannot grow enough food. Meat is nutritionally dense, if you wanted to feed the world using only crops, there would be a need for GM Modified food (where would that lead) and there still probably wouldn't be enough to go around.
