How cattle ranching is destroying the Amazon rainforest

i should really go vegie

unfortunately your brain is so foggy you can't put together a coherent thought or a properly spelled word.

Wow, a rancher who thinks beef is good for kids. Never mind every medical study that says meat is the least healthy protein. Never let the facts get in the way of your opinion!

And you raise "hundreds" of pounds of beef that's grass fed? SO WHAT? 99% of the meat is fed soy that is grown as feed rather than for human consumption. World hunger could quite literally be eradicated if people ate plant-based proteins instead. Love your meat all you want, but the facts are the facts. Deal.

wow i need this as one of my points =)

HolySpingRolls- Whoever told you it takes any grain to get beef lied to you. We raise hundreds of thousands of pounds of beef every year with no grain from crops whatsoever. Beef do just fine on natural grasses and plenty of grazing.

I prefer kids eat protein rich meat as our creator intended (whomever he,she or it is.) Not short term carbohydrates.

The problem is neither meat or vegitarians but global society in general Its fine 4 the middle / upper class green peace vegans tosay we should buy higherquality meat but this will never stop the cheap cost demand from lower class of society. The problem is much deeper than save the forest we need to change human nature to make any impact on the environment if indeed its changing at all. There is no geological evidence to suggest that global warming is occuring Sea levels & temperature have...

Ok, so you know better than the vast majority of climate scientists researching this issue - maybe you'd better write to them and tell them so they can stop wasting their time and we can all go back to happily polluting the planet and consuming everything in sight...

I'm very relieved you've solved the global warming issue - with the hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific studies saying that it's definitely happening I was starting to worry - now I can sleep easily in my bed again - thanks!

Soy in the Amazon Rainforest is often export to the UK to feed cattle

Green groups need to get with the program. I'm glad at least to see some acknowledgement but where is the suggestion to go vegan?
