To be clear: you feel as though many, many (many many many) small farms run by a myriad of farmers using more nutritious (read energy intensive) means to produce meat is a more efficient means of meat production than large-scale psychopathologically run CAFOs and by "It's the ONLY fix," you mean that people cannot…

Eesh. I'm glad she's recovering. My first thought was, "How dead is that guy?"

I haven't even begun to argue. Just presenting you a mosaic of incontrovertible facts. You live in the US - the single most gluttonous nation in the world. That means that you're already a disproportionate drain on global resources (me, too, by the way). In America, greenhouse emissions from livestock are more than…

And how do you think an intestinal bacteria like E. Coli gets all over them there delicious veggies?

A simple fact to look at is that the global demand for meat is rising — particularly in booming countries like China and India. This, simply put, makes traditional meat eating (meaning cows, chickens, pigs, etc.) unsustainable.

So you see no socio-economic implications with your premise?

Totally agree. But doesn't make my observation any less accurate, does it? And to extend the point, when to we finally realize that we actually have to take action — dramatic action — and sacrifice some shit to live sustainably? Eating less meat is the single, simplest and easiest thing all of us can do to offset…

Maybe. But most bacteria scares are from the meat and dairy industry. Even outbreaks linked to veggies tends to be from the meat industry. E.g.: http://www.livescience.com/1026-truth-spi…

I hear you, but I still think we should all stop. Particularly if we live in the western world which is already chewing a gigantic hole in everything including the future.

10 years with diarrhea? That sucks. There are of course plenty of other options besides wheat, soy and legumes but everything has to be weighed and measured in terms of time, cost and opportunity.

I wish that this were possible on a large scale. Unfortunately it's not.

Can't mass produce meat ethically, friend-o. Just can't. So you either consciously or unconsciously have an unrealistic view of your impacts and privilege on ye olde planet.

Simple solution: Stop eating meat. Seriously. Stop.

Colin Cowherd is the worst thing to happen to radio since Nickelback. I just forced myself to listen to about 15 minutes of him. He's unbearable. I'll tell you why right after the break. Right around the corner. Up next. WHY COLIN COWHERD IS THE BIGGEST SHITSTAIN SPORTS TALK MOUTH FACE IN HISTORY coming up.

can't wait to drop some bombs on KD and them haha #thunder #respect #rip #bombs #nofilter

Let's make a list of other character combinations we don't want to be involved with. Y'all go first.

Let's just get these race wars going already.

Yep. Or even friends to be honest. I tend to avoid giving compliments altogether because it's the safest way to avoid any awkwardness. Plus, I've seen many a smarmy guy do the flirty/overbearing/compliment thing in the workplace — like fucking workplace hugs. Ugh.

I'm so over Jordan Catalano.

Variety is the spice, friend.
