Meat and the Environment

Would you ever open your refrigerator, pull out 16 plates of pasta and toss them in the trash, and then eat just one plate of food?1 How about leveling 55 square feet of rain forest for a single meal or dumping 2,500 gallons of water down the drain? Of course you wouldn't. But if you're eating chicken, fish, turkey, pork, or beef, that's what you're doing—wasting resources and destroying our environment.

Animals raised for food expend the vast majority of the c... read more

Author’s Note: I have written hundreds of articles on various subjects over 2 decades, worked for dozens of magazines, completed a doctoral dissertation and authored and co-authored several books, but nothing I have ever written has had the impact of this research. It has been re-produced hundreds of times in print and online. I am most often asked why I wrote it. I was researching Choctaw legends to use as bedtime stroies for my children and to send to my tribal newspaper.
