  Don't like PETA but agree

  There are lots of reasons to be vegan/vegetarian and one of them is environmental.  The waste that is generated from factory farms is overwhelming.  The idea of the family farm is hardly true in this country and is being used to model farms in other countries now.  No one wants to live near factory farms, which are by far how most meat eaters in this country get their meat. Animal production (so cold, they are living beings) is extremely resource intensive, wasting tons of water and grain that could be used to feed humans.  
  I'm not a fan of PETA, I don't like their campaigns for the reasons stated in the article, but I think that being a vegetarian or at least someone that eats very little meat of any kind is vital to the lessening of global warming.  
  May I suggest reading Fast Food Nation, or Beyond Beef.  Our farming practices and eating habits are going to be the death of us, as well as, our world.
