This site (yeah that vegan shit blogspot.com) seems to pop up quite a bit, veganism is a good way of respecting ecology, see this article from the climate camp but it used to be a bit dour, vegan porn sites seem to be all the rage, is it as much fun as the photos suggest.
You will have to decide for your selves.
The article argues that vegan is good for fighting climate change:
The billions of chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows who are crammed into factory farms each year across the globe produce enormous amounts of methane, both during digestion and from the acres of cesspools filled with feces that they excrete. Scientists report that every pound of methane is more than 20 times as effective as carbon dioxide is at trapping heat in our atmosphere. Unlike carbon dioxide which can remain in the air for more than a century, methane cycles out of the atmosphere in just eight years, so that lower methane emissions quickly translate lead to the cooling of the earth.
I guess that alternatives to factory farming produce less methane. Johnny Ball asked on the way into the studio if it was true that a single cow is more environmentally damaging than a single SUV. MORE ON MY TV APPEARANCE WITH JOHNNY LATER OR TOMORROW.
I hope neither Johnny or the vegans want us to eliminate cows!
I am not quite sure about this link in the change of argument, we have always had cows, but certainly feed lot product is no good thing.
Take a look at the animals film, this radicalised me when I saw it, incidentally I have just rejoined Animal Aid.
Veganism is a good move in my book especially if the picture above is no lie.
Been having problems with the link to the article from the climate change camp so here is something from the Daily Telegraph and David Miliband putting the case....what next reprints of Green Anarchist in the Mirror!
