  guilt-free depending on where you get your meat from. I don't support unsustainable farming practices.

  • http://www.pratherra…– acescence1/5

    I'm not a vegan, but in reality murdering cows is unsustainable, no matter how you want it not to be– Miguex2/5

    [citation needed]– acescence3/5

    well, the whole animal rights issue is obviously miniscule to you?– Miguex4/5

    if animals are raised humanely i have no problems eating them.– acescence5/5

  1 lb salad requires 31 gallons water.
  1 lb chicken requires 287 gallons water.

  1 lb beef requires 1500 gallons water.

  ^ I hate that graphic - it implies that 1500 gallons is turned into 1 lb of beef. Which is crap. Rain falls on the field to grow the grass, and is returned to the water table as cow-piss (or into the air as cow-sweat/breath). Presumably water is used to hose down cowsheds and abbatoirs and carcasses; this is returned to the water cycle through sewage processing & recycling. 1500 gallons might be USED but it all remains within the water cycle.

  • says "virtual use - water that helped make the things..."– inkpink1/4

    and water that returns to cycle via sewage IS waste water. period.– inkpink2/4

    unless you like your tap water full of feces and hormones.– inkpink3/4

    well, that's what happens right now!– hans_glib4/4

  it's interesting to see the relative numbers, but absent any context it's mostly meaningless. getting your veggies from giant monoculture farms on the other side of the planet that rape the land and pollute the water with pesticides is not quite the same as getting locally, sustainably farmed organic veggies.

  • of course is not– Miguex

  was dumbing-down the point that beef is a horribly inefficient food source.

  ^
  on the other hand, these so called "land rapers/ pesticide pollutants" can also be working locally right? I mean.. we always think that local farmers enforce better practices, yet some people have to be living near the bad guys too, and they call those guys locals right?

  More than buying local I think the right thing to do is "be informed of what you are buying and where is coming from".

  • so... you're basically agreeing with me.– acescence1/6

    local and sustainable are separate things, yes. sorry i wasn't crystal clear in my example– acescence2/6

    yes, I was just pointing out the fact, that somewhere, these rapists are local farmers to some people– Miguex3/6

    maybe to myself, I went to farmers market last sunday, maybe that old nice lady is one of those land rapist, but she is so kind...– Miguex4/6

    so kind.. ever seen that old lady from futurama? haha– Miguex5/6

    i guess i have the luxury of being in northern cali with all the hippies– acescence6/6

  Ugh, don't be such a chicken. Just eat it. I really don't understand where all this beef is coming from. You health freaks are annoying with your misleading charts... it's udder nonsense. I'm all for a little high-stake eating every now & then.

  • how brave– Miguex1/4

    you missed high- *steak*– inkpink2/4

    thank you. one steak once in a while isn't going to rape the ecosystem. enjoy now and then.– sputnik23/4
