I'm posting this under Health because it's about the health of the planet. Another UN report just came out about how animal agriculture is not sustainable. Here's the article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jun/02/un-report-meat-free-diet

This backs up the report by the Worldwatch Institute that stated animal agriculture causes a minimum 51% of all greenhouse gas emissions. That's about 3x the emissions from all the vehicles of the world!

Not eating milk, cheese, eggs, and meat heals the planet.

I'm not so sure that NOT eating any of those things heals the planet, but I suppose it could contribute to the lowered destruction of the earth. Of course, that's a tad relative because we don't truly know how many vegans there are in this world. I gotta say, it IS an interesting article though. Thanks for sharing!
