Get off your high horse, jackass. Unless you're living in a cave and subsisting off of bugs and berries and wearing a loincloth, you are having an environmental impact on the rest of us. Do you drive a car? Have you ever flown? Do you run heat in the winter and A/C in the summer? Clearly you use the internet. Ever wonder where the lithium in your phone/laptop battery comes from? Do you know the environmental impact of chip manufacturing? Ever think about the slave labor that put together the electronics you're using or the ones who made the shoes and clothes you wear?

This is becoming an echo chamber. Too bad, there used to be good discussions here.

There can be an intelligent discussion on the pros and cons of meat consumption, and you are certainly welcome to start one. I don't think the person I was responding to was starting such a discussion, however. I know the Gates foundation has been trying to drum up up publicity on the matter ever since Bill invested in synthetic bee--- err I mean since Bill became passionate on the subject.

The echo chamber I was thinking of wasn’t about meat.
