EATING WITH CONSCIOUSNESS / AWARENESS IV of IV

TO STOP ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION AND WASTAGE caused by livestock and slaughterhouses. The production system that generates our grain-fed meat diet not only wastes our resources but helps destroys them said experts. Producing just 1 pound of steak uses 2,500 gallons of water. To produce a pound of steak which provides us with 500 calories of food energy takes 20,000 calories of fossil fuel, expended mainly in producing the crips fed to livestock.

Be aware, there is no doubt that corn and soybean meal are used with more efficiency and can provide food for more people when they are eaten directly by people rather than being fed to swine or poultry to be converted to pork, chicken meat or eggs for human consumption.

For the record: worldwide meat production - beef, chicken and pork emits more atmospheric greenhouse gasses than do all forms of global transportation or industrial processes.

Be aware, among options for mitigating climate change, changing diet is something one should consider.
