"Producing 2.2lb of beef generates as much greenhouse gas as driving a car non-stop for three hours..."

I love a good filet mignon, but come on! People are bulldozing the rainforest to make more room for grazing cattle. Illegal immigrants are put to work in meat processing plants and when they are injured by the crazy machinery and a production line that is moving way to fast, they don't have the health care to cover their medical bills and because they are usually taking uppers to increase their speed on the line, the company claims they are not responsible for the unsafe conditions.
So you take the bus to work, or carpool, you recycle, have energy efficient appliances and switched all your bulbs from incandescent to fluorescent... maybe you should take a look at what's on your dinner plate. Eat local, eat organic and for the love of the planet, cut out the beef!!
