Tofu. Its more nutritous then meat, and the good thing about it is you don't have to kill a living being.

Did you know red meat clogs your vains? Did you know that, since there is such a high demand on beef in North America, that rain forests in South America are getting destroyed so pastures can be made for cattle? Did you know that North America's addiction for meat is contributing to global warming?

Just thought I'd share some facts from my trusty book lol:)

Not trying to start an arguement, just saying stuff IMO.

acctually, its the stuff they fry it in, namely vegetable and olive oil, is what cloggs your arteries. even then, everything in moderation.

did you know that just as much, maybe even more, forest is being destroyed so those organic vegatables can be grown? and even then, they cost more. why? it takes more land to get the same profits, for true "organic" crops cannot use pesticides or fertilizers.

global warming? maybe our big gaint SUVs, but cattle dont. if you say that cows contribute to global warming because they "create mathane and CO2" then i guess every other living thing on this planet does too. even plants? yep. they create just as much CO2 as they take in.

Good point. Actually, I saw a news report that claimed a whopping 70-80% of all "organic" food wasn't organic at all. It had just as much crap on it as everything else, and the farmers just wanted to make a bigger profit. That was about 2 years ago, so maybe the "organic" industry has cleaned up their acts since then.

And that thing about CO2? It's true. Every living thing on planet earth (including plants) produces CO2.

But non dairy cows are one thing that we don't need, and decreasing the number of 'food' cows will help the enviroment. And it will stink alot less:grinyes: And the cows will be happier that they don't have to get slaughtered.

IMO Cows (not the Cows fault at all, its ours) hurt the enviroment much more then Tofu products.

But the main point I'm getting at is we don't NEED to kill cows for example to live.
