Plants have consciousness as well, probably more so than humans or animals. Should we stop eating them too? Bio-dynamic farming does not see their livestock as mere resources. They consider themselves co-creators. Check out trailers for the movies Fresh and Food Inc. Or search for videos of Polyface Farms.

I can't help but think this is an absurd way to stimulate the economy. Right now, I can't even afford to take trade in my 1992 Honda through this program yet money is being taken from me so other people can. Perfect example: my co-worker said her father was disappointed the money ran out of the first round of the program because he was going to get rid of his JAGUAR for a more fuel efficient vehicle. What is the purpose of this program?? If it's economic stimulus, it's a failed attempt. Poor people cannot afford this program and the cars that are being traded in are rendered unusable so others who cannot afford it otherwise don't even have an opportunity to buy used. Plus you're taking money from everyone else (not now, since the money is being printed to satisfy this) but in the future all of us, including our descendents, will pay for a long time. There's nothing "stimulating" about this. If the purpose is environmental, again it's a failure. Continuing to drive your current car is seemingly the best option from what I've read on sites like Grist. Consider the energy, resources and waste that go into creating a new car. And forgein cars are shipped halfway across the world to get to us. Buying new is hardly worth the environmental impact. I wish this would stop. I feel like we are going in the wrong direction here.

If you wait for the powers-that-be to change this for us it will never happen ... this industry is a huge money-maker. There are sources of real food everywhere you just need to find them, whether it's meat or veggies. We need to be proactive and vote with our fork. Be the change that you want to see in this world, right?

These are the two best articles I've read to support our pastured cows: http://www.siteground217.com/~westonap/farm-a-ranch/1639-an-inconvenient-cow and http://nourishedmagazine.com.au/blog/articles/splendor-from-the-grass.

Mr. Coleman is talking about pastured livestock. The data you're referencing is about industrial livestock and/or poorly managed farmland.
