    Go Vegan

    In a society where obesity is so rampant that being overweight is the norm; in a culture that calls for the neck of a football player for treating his dogs the way your meat producer treats other similiar mammals, and in a nation with the largest carbon footprint in the world, there is but one solution. Go vegan.

    BTW - I have seem feed to conversion ratios double what this author purports. (In other words, it takes a shocking 15 pounds of feed to receive a single pound of beef from cattle , 4 pounds of feed to acquire a pound of chicken flesh, etc . . .)
