Lord Stern Advocates Vegetarianism To Stop...

Other vegans and environmentalists might be interested in this commentary by Ingrid E. Newkirk: http://indyeagleeye.livejournal.com/14443.html. It's pretty exciting! Lord Stern, one of the big climate change experts in the U.K just endorsed a vegetarian diet for combating climate change. He even said, “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.” Alright!

If we do want to increase vegetable consumption over animal out of environmental concerns, we do need to grow those vegetables in environmentally friendly modalities.

Yes, a full lifecycle analysis is the only way to avoid getting fooled into thinking something is an improvement when it really isn't.

Thanks for the post. I haven't looked into Lord Stern's background. Has the family been dining on venison for 400 years? Well, probably not more than once a week, and the point is a good one.
