UNBELIEVABLE NEWS JUST CAME OUT!!!!!!!! World watch Institute just came out with a report saying the life cycle and supply chain of domesticated animals raised for food have been vastly underestimated as a source of green house gas (GHGs), and in fact account for at least half of all human-caused GHGs. Not 18% as was... claimed by FAO. Livestock’s Long Shadow, the widely-cited 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organi- zation (FAO), Furthermore they suggest switching to meat based analogs and plant based foods instead of meat ,in other words they advocate veganism. I am absolutely stunned, 51%of global warming due to intensive animal agriculture vs 50% of all anthropogenic causes combined that includes industries,factories,fumes from all the cars planes,trains on the planet and much more combined. If this does not wake people up to what is needed to change things for the better I don't know what will. Here is the link to the article
