You do realize that animals continue to shit whether or not we eat them.... Right? >>

[RachelAvalon]

How many animals we decide to eat dictates how many are bred. The less we eat, the less are bred, and the less of an issue methane becomes.

[possumberry]

Why does everyone overlook the real issue? Human Overpopulation...7 billion methane producing (by the way nothing is more natural), resource exhausting, habitat destroying naked apes around the world. Fewer people would consume less of, well...everything. People would again have enough space to raise their own vegetable and meat animals in a humane and sustainable way. If you really want to help the earth...wear a condom when you fuck.

[RachelAvalon]

I think a lot of people overlook human overpopulation because there are still so many religious & cultural taboos around using birth control. Even so, I hope that at some pt. tax incentives will be given to people who chose not to have children or who chose to have smaller families (I don't think punishing bigger families is a good idea). Of course, it's also about HOW we consume. Americans make up 5% of the world pop. but use 25% of the resources. That approach needs to change no matter what.

solution? i understand your approach on educating people on this topic. you've seemed to address it accordingly. though i wonder, have you no compassion? no true education? the simple fact that you as well as millions of others choose to condone in the slaughter of innocent animals, for the simple pleasure of taste and fashion, is well, very disturbing. how about becoming vegan for the sake of saving lives? i feel the gravity of that statement completely over shadows everything you've just said.

My intent is 2 welcome people into a holistic lifestyle that lasts the rest of their lives. Most people do better w/ transitions & tend 2 rebel from drastic changes. They want to B encouraged 4 the positive steps & not feel judged 4 things they haven't done yet (clients tell me all the time). Justified or not, people eat/wear animals 4 reasons beyond taste & fashion alone. Still, the more animals we can save the better (1 reason I haven't eaten cows or pigs in 16yrs). Progress not perfection.

Great Video

"Are we finally ready to take our responsibility? If we call ourselves "civilised " and "intelligent", I think we are."

I'm not so sure, as we are led by madmen and we seem to follow them like sheep.

What age group was this video directed at?

[bangletigress]

I completely agree, I can't believe how we can eat something so violently slaughtered. The way they treat animals in those factories is like concentration camps in the Hollocost. It's sick.

Even if you got half of the population on Earth to go through with this plan, there wouldn't be a change. There's no going back from here. We are all truly screwed.

Is this about the environment? or about you Rachel :)

I store my grain in the air conditioner and that, like, costs more than 10 fridges. Aside from that, thank you for the continued realistic viewpoints.
