Trying to get somewhere like back to the topic in hand, I understand the point McCartney is wanting to make about one of the biggest causes of deforestation is clearing land for livestock. And palm oil.

One way of redressing the problem of methane from livestock would be to farm all animals in sealed sheds and capture any farted methane. This methane could be seperated from the air and burned to produce to electricity. Unburned hydrocarbons are worse for the environment than burned ones. This method would not be agreeable to the animal rights lobby as every animal is sacred and needs loving etc etc etc etc.

Nice to see a serious subject reduced to a ridiculous soundbite.

It's hardly about the animal being 'sacred' and 'needing love'. It's about not keeping animals in conditions that constitute cruelty. I would contest that locking animals in a shed, never to see the light of day, is indeed cruel and should not be allowed.

Absolutely spot on!

I had an American sandwich followed by a Dutch loveboat last night , both were delicious.

Can i have the last word on this?

Hitler was a vegetarian, so eat meat, or risk becoming a tyrannical despot responsible for the death of 6 million innocent Jews.

You have been warned!

Yes but here is the truth, Hitler had flatulance

I could eat a dozen lamb curries and still not get close to the damage I inflict on the ozone layer after half a dozen sprouts.

Do people eat meat everyday anyway? I'd say I dont eat meat at least 2 days a week and thats not because I want to reduce my meat intake but because I actually have a varied diet.
