Vegetarianism 2

Animals raised for food consumes humongous quantities of grain just to produce very meager meat. For only one pound of meat to be produced, sixteen pounds of grain must be wasted. As a result, more then seventy percent of grain grown in the United States are used to feed farmed animals. All the cattle in the world consumes more food then the entire human population on earth. I strongly believe it is wrong to eat meat just for the satisfaction of your appetites. Furthermore, meat production is one the leading causes of global warming. The livestock produce vasts amounts of waste in cramped areas, emitting gross quantities of methane. Nitrous Oxide is a much more potent gas that is responsible for the crisis. Meat, egg, and diary industries are responsible for emitting sixty-five percent of worldwide nitrous oxide. Furthermore, eating only one pound of meat can emit the equal amount of greenhouse gasses as driving an SUV car for forty miles. Stop eating meat now, and help fight global warming. Meat production wastes energy as well. More then one-third of our fossil fuels are used to raise animals for food. Such amounts of energy are used to transport grain, transport meat and run meat factories. You may think that by turning off the light in your room, you conserve energy but eating meat is the most inefficient action we take. Our earth is not the only factor hurt by meat consumption.
