Perhaps the bottom line is humans are bad for the environment. After all, for years here I've compared the earth to a bag of flour that has been infested by weevils (humans). ;-) I have to agree with you on this. The main difference is that weevils are better looking. For some reason we attribute something special to human beings when they are probably just another anomaly like a chemical reaction that pops up on planets in different forms. Well, we are human so our tendency would be to view everything we do as "special". LOL And meditation may be nothing more than another way of getting high. I should have been so lucky. It was just a faster way to fall asleep ;-) On 12/15/2015 11:11 PM, ultrarishi wrote: I'm gonna have to call bullshit on the researchers. Check out this cute little chart from the city of San Francisco, my birthplace and former stomping grounds http://sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=93 http://sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=93 It's taking 20 gallons of water to make the pint of beer I'm drinking now and 500 gallons to make the Levis I'm wearing now at the computer desk.. Measure for measure: Ground Beef (1 pound or 453.6 grams) Protein = 65 grams Fat = 136 grams (20 grams is saturated fat Calories = 1, 506 Feed (grain) to produce edible meat = 20 pounds Lettuce (1 pound or 453.6 grams) Protein = 6.3 grams Fat = 1.3 grams (0 grams saturated fat) Calories = 63 And I don't see eggplant, celery, and cucumbers requiring antibiotics in their production and, thus further ruining our health like beef, pork, and chicken. The meat industry is pushing back hard because they know the data is daily piling up against their product and especially their practices. Consumers do not pay the real price for meat, but take it up the butt for vegetables. The meat consumer only pays in the end with financial bankruptcy from medical procedures and drugs.
