According to this article, 18 percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions are associated with animal production. This is one reason meat consumption is supposed to be reduced by 75 percent on the upcoming months. Globally, lowering animal production would get rid of a large portion of emissions and greenhouse gases. The ozone layer would thank us for that.

So I'm glad to see that meat production is willing to help the atmosphere of the earth, now all we need to do is convince the people in charge that animals should be treated well. This would result in good unaltered meat, some may go bad because of disease but it is less likely to happen when genes aren't fooled around with. grr.... so if everything went back to the way it was with family farm raising everything and then selling them, I think the food would be healthier and taste better. But who knows?

Until next time...
