why save planet only by eating no meat? damn instead of stopping eat a good steak or hamburger buy better cars or save water and dont waste it!

[satvapuri]

Dear iHardstyleZz,

you didn't grasped what the movie tells to you ... You can save the hugest amount of water by not eating meat, for instance 15.000 liters for one kilo of beef! And the same is with the cars, you make more "virtual" emissions by eating meat.

if god wanted us to eat vegetables why make animals i disagree with everything and if we stop buying cows to eat low wages for farmers causing crisis and theft its just stupid and if we stop eating them they will increase making grass and plants decrease thus it will also distrubd the food chain also if there is less plants it will be more expensive therefore there are many tthat cant afford food and die of starvation

[satvapuri]

Yes, you are right ...

[RaurelAdams]

well the only animal on earth that takes more then it needs (guess what?) is human beings. we dont need to eat meat.. it's just as healthy to eat vegetables which also are equivalent to meat in some cases... it's only selfish people eating meat because they dont know better..

I'm working on understanding new words with this video thanks

yeah, Cuvier compared our body to vegetarian - frugivore.

[AyuDomi]

i agree with almost everything you said EXCEPT for the part: "God gave us a omnivorous body" that´s pure BS. omnivorous body consists of features such as - claws, big canines(not those tiny ones which we have), a mouth with a big opening, find appetizing raw animal flesh.

we DO NOT possess any of those features, therefore it´s inaccurate to call ourselves omnivores. and justify our omnivorism by being intelligent enough to make tools as a substitute for our lack of nature given features, is lame

Other way... Eat vegetables and go on the gym. You will passed out until You will start practising. It is funny that people don't need meat. Try eat only vegetables and go to phisycal work, on the construction or on the farm. It is impossible. Maybe when people work in offices it is possible, because they have nice live without phisical work - they don't need power.

Bullshit of these facts. "A single cow can produce 23 tonnes of manure a year". I leave in small village and I have, 2 cows, one bull, three pigs and chickens. Normally once per year from these animal I exports to the field maybe 20 tonnes of manure. These numbers which they gave are almost impossible. So when they lie in this fact.... what with rest ?

Animals also eat their own shit and sometimes their own young.

Please don't be offended if I don't come to your next dinner party.

Buying better cars makes things worse.

If every car driver in the world today bought a better car the environmental impact of it would be immense. We can't just consume as a means to buy our lifestyles into being environmental.

[fissomad]

wow! great behaviour!!

ok, close your eyes to the problem, it will make it disappear!

I hope one day (before your health forces you to), you will dare opening your eye and your heart to the rest of the planet and it's inhabitants, and change your attitude.

"if god wanted us to eat vegetables why make animals" , God gave us a omnivorous body but more adapted to vegetable processing. God gave us free will, whith a capacity to empathise with other beings, and to live in harmony. God created animals to be our companions, our friends, but not our food or our slaves.

It's exactely the same for black people, God didn't create them for white people.

I set out for a documentary about acid rain and I only watched 2 minutes before I stopped caring. I eat whatever I want because I'm an animal too... The lions and tigers won't get all the meat eating glory.
