A vegetarian driving a hummer produces less CO2 than a meat-eater driving a prius...
Sorry, but makes no sense to state something like that.
What if the hummer owner just got his 3rd brand new hummer 2 weeks ago, and got another one for his meat eating wife, and the prius owner lives in a house of 4 yet they all share the same car and ride bikes since 1997?Statements like that are what confuse people.
What about the vegetarians that eat out of season vegetables forcing imports like bananas from ecuador and apples from japan to their home in east coast usa? Or all the meatless products that you buy at the supermarket and have travelled on trucks from the otherside of the country just to get to your local store?
What if the meat eater is an indigenous in vietnam, that hunts and kills its pray to feed a family of 6?
Lets not add confusion, being vegetarian does not necessarily make me better than a person eating meat, that is what the vegan community like to believe, and most of them are worse than religious people, forcing their beliefs and practices on others. That right there I consider a pollution problem.
