> And meat eating is simply not sustainable. I don't know about this. Eating meat as a staple like Americans currently do is certainly not sustainable. But you can raise meat in such a way that it makes use of resources that you can't otherwise use. For example, pigs can live quite comfortably on waste like vegetable peelings. Cows can live on land that is not arable like meadows. Lamb is a by-product of raising sheep for wool.

  Even meat can be sustainable with a sensible enforced quota. We just cannot agree on a quota when those industry are allowed to lobby our gov'ts to bit.
