This is a huge problem. Humankind has interfered with nature so much that it isn't even funny. We burn down forests, spill oil in the oceans, make landfills, strip-mine, and eat animals. Not only is this last action destructive of nature, but it's self destructive as well. Eating meat is risky to one's health.
Meat is much more susceptible to poisoning than vegetables and grains are.
It is interesting to note that 50 percent of men who eat meat regularly die of heart disease, whereas only four percent of men who eat no animal products die of heart disease. Meat Eating isn't only unhealthy, but it's wasteful as well. It takes one pound of grain to make one pound of bread. It takes 20 pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. It takes 23 gallons of water to produce one pound of tomatoes.
