A lot of people are vegetarians because of unnecessary cruelty to animals, not emissions or environmental reasons.

Most vegans I know just do it as an expression of their moral superiority.
If they find something wrong with tomatoes, BLT lovers are hosed.

I think most people become vegetarians for health reasons. Personally, I am trying to cut way down on red meat. Which is difficult, because the other day I had a really great burger from M Shack. Man that was a big old sloppy juicy medium rare burger that was soooo good. With cheese. Not sure what the sauce was, but it was really tasty. M Shack.

Everyone I know who's tried to become a vegetarian/vegan for "health reasons" has failed miserably. Everyone I know who's done it for moral reasons has succeeded. Take that as you will.

Zealots can accomplish anything. :thumbsup:

Eat More Bacon!
Anything farmed "open ground" will be hard on the environment. Lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots etc.
The machinery is gigantic in that type of farming.
