Original article: Earth to PETA

does this make sense?

This article contains the claim "Americans who eat poultry, dairy and eggs, but not red meat, are responsible for fewer greenhouse gases than those who consume a vegetarian diet that includes dairy and eggs."

Can someone explain to me how this makes sense? Everything else being equal, if you eat poultry, you are responsible for fewer greenhouse gases than someone who doesn't eat poultry? Is this what is being claimed or am I missing something?

Style over substance

This is just another example of the media concentrating on style and not substance of candidates and their approach to issues. No wonder we have to look back on eight years of Bush, eight years of Clinton, and eight years of Reagan. I can't wait for the general election, when the talk in the media will be about which candidate you would rather have a beer with.
