Comments on: What would it look like if we all skipped meat for just ONE day? http://www.healthyalterego.com/index.php/2010/02/what-would-it-look-like-if-we-all-skipped-meat-for-just-one-day/ The Health & Wellness Source You've Been Searching For Wed, 28 Dec 2011 04:51:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Danielht http://www.healthyalterego.com/index.php/2010/02/what-would-it-look-like-if-we-all-skipped-meat-for-just-one-day/comment-page-1/#comment-1604 Danielht Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:50:23 +0000 http://www.healthyalterego.com/?p=1973#comment-1604 A better question "What would it look like if we skipped FOOD for just one day?" See, just like the livestock industry uses huge amounts of water for irrigation of pasture, vast areas for grazing, antibiotics and hormones, the agricultural industry uses huge amounts of water for irrigation of produce , vast areas for growing the produce, and pesticides (and GMOs). Agriculture, in my opinion, is just as harmful to the planet. The real problem is that the resources available on the planet will inevitably run out as human population grows. We are a plague. When it comes down to saving the planet, I much rather skip driving my car for a day than skip food for a day. A better question “What would it look like if we skipped FOOD for just one day?”
