MOOT POINT?

China - just this one country - puts out more CO2 and methane emissions in one hour than the US purports to conserve in an entire year.

Now, consider the other under developed counties and realize the futility of these so-called well intention but misguided activities?

So many sides that it is hard to focus on any one of them.
I am seeing cricket flour as a new protein source - not vegan?
Grass-fed vs factory farmed?
New research to reduce their methane with microbes?
Vegan diet does not work for everyone.
Vegans can be nutritionally deficient.
Balance is key.
We can make it all sustainable.

There are numerous ways to be environmental friendly and to progress towards a sustainable environment. Being vegetarian is one of the way but not "THE WAY". It is true that there are facts that supports being vegetarian does helps to improve our environment but so as being non vegetarian too! It is vital to look at the bigger picture such as a more serious issue just as what David E. Marcinko MBBS-MD DPM MBA MEd CMP® stated above : Pollution from big cities!

To progress towards a more sustainable environment, besides looking into pollution, there is a need to look into land and soil mineral issue, massive deforestation and uncontrolled fishery!
