The cows must be destroyed! They are the harbingers of doom!

[Guy]

The high priests of Pylea were apparently right. Seriously - the cows are going to destroy us.

You can take showers as long as you like. You can burn fuel as much as you like. You can hunt wild life all day long. But you CANNOT EAT HAMBURGERS!

Basically - according to this movie, the amount of environmental damage done by driving cars or using water in private homes (which is what most environmental organizations warn us about) is NOTHING compared to the amount of damage caused to the environment by the beef industry. But no one is TALKING about it, because the beef industry is too powerful to attack.

So basically, if you want to help the environment, you gotta stop eating beef. You can even keep eating chicken, but the beef's gotta go.


I didn't actually check this matter too deeply. Too busy with tests. But I thought this issue was very interesting, and it certainly SEEMS legit, so... Thoughts?

I know they produce a hellova lot of methane.....but to just blame them for Global warming is a little bit of a stretch methinks 😵

 

[Bluebird]

I've seen this documentary (cos it's on Netflix!) but I don't remember much about it. If you're interested in the subject, Food Inc. is really well presented.

It's true, methane gas damages the environment way more than carbon emissions.
So we have to cut down on the cows I guess, unless the boffins can come up with a way of stopping them farting so much.

[Professor Walsh]

Ah, folks. There isn't very much new about the fact that rich, white people eat far more meat than what is sustainable. I am not overly convinced that eating chicken or pork is so much better than eating ruminants in the general scheme of things, but there is no doubt that we need to look at how and what we eat if this planet is going to support the population.

I'm not sure how to say this politely but;

Hamburgers = Ham = Pigs

Beefburgers = Beef = Cows

Some people are just to intelligent..

I thought hamburger was just the American word for beef burgers, kind of like chips is the American word for crisps even though chips are what the Americans call fries?

 

[ILLYRIAN]

Really, I didn't realise that. It's no wonder America has such a massive deficit if they're gonna call meats by the wrong name. And know crisps as chips, then refer to chips as fries. That'll be confusing for the importers and exporters from other countries.

How about a cow with the head of a pig

I read "crows" and came here for some good old fashioned bird-hating... Imagine my disappointment! 😛

Yep and there really should be a conversation about population control. Too many people using too much of the planet.

That's too much of a taboo to even discuss, unfortunately.

Aww. Crows are cool though. And evil. Definitely Black Thorn.

When asked for comment a cow replied: MOOO?!

 

[Ethan Reigns]

We are getting nice, warm weather in the Toronto area, so if any cows are reading this, keep farting! BTW I am about to sit down to shepherd's pie done with sweet potatoes rather than the regular ones, made with lean cuts of hamburger. Keep those cows coming! We have been above freezing for the last several weeks during the day and overnight on most days, so until the Great Lakes dry up, keep that methane production up!

 

[GwenRaiden]

so if any cows are reading this, keep farting!

No problem!

Uhoh. Who let the vegans in the science lab?
