Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5051820 As I already said, at least when you have cows/sheep roaming the fields and paddocks, other animals are living alongside them. That is not the case when you are growing your lettuces etc. So which is really the more planet friendly diet? Do not take memories of what happened yesterday, into what might happen today.

Pick a planet.... any planet.. I'm sure if pandas could get off this rock they would be long gone! Yep we are. We are just ignorant. No need to hurry things along just for a few extra $.
