Veggans Vs Beefeaters

["Ken Hitchcox" <kenlipo@domain.elided>]

Dan,

That sure seems hard to believe. In one of those "don't eat meat" books, 
the author noted that it takes something like 10 times more acreage to 
feed a cow than a human. (rough #'s as I don't have the book handy. 
Don't ask why I read it, as I don't want to be a male chauvanist pig in 
public). 

I think this is an example of the statistics telling you what they want 
you to hear. How does this relate to IH? Uhm, she rode in the Scout 
once? She wouldn't go to Stuart Anderson's with me either.

Are you gonna have pictures of the tranny apart anytime soon? I checked 
your site sometime this week and didn't see any.

Ken

   I really don't have anything to say about them per say, but; Chris P
and some others would be sorely disapointed if I didn't at least mention
them after a tirade like what you just had Jeff.
   What I really want to mention is, last night I was reading in
Bowhunter Mag in the doctors office, (yeah I was shocked too, this was
in a yuppie area to boot!) and they had the results of a study that some
university in London had done. They found that people who eat beef are
better for the enviroment than vegitarians. What they found was that the
energy expended to plant, grow, pick, transport, and prepare veggies
consumes 45 Megajoules off energy for every ONE Megajoule of energy
produced from the consumption of the food .However, only 8 Megajoules of
energy are used to raise cattle and make them into food for every one
megajoule of energy produced from thier consumption. So, the moral is,
if you love the enviroment you would eat beef like real Americans and
stop polluting the planet with your Veggan practice!
