a good amount of the rainforest is being cut down to have places to rasie cattle or grow the crops to feed the cattle. If anything is destroying the rainforest, it is the meat industry.

that's just vegetarian propaganda.

[affectionjunkie]

you're kidding, right?

[bastardang]

i'm going to go with: nothing is destroying the rainforest. it's dying off naturally. or it's all a big hoax. i think they did it all in a movie studio somewhere.

not only that, but due to their excessive junk food consumption, they are contributing heavily to landfill from all the discarded wrappers that they throw out.

[eugenesucks]

good one!

[danox]

not to mention their excessive methane output from all those beans they eat.

Soya beans are grazing away the rain forests just so people of the veg faith can have soya "milk".

[affectionjunkie]

actually, more of the soy production goes on to feed the cattle raised for the meat industry than soy eaten by veg*ns.

[sir_ann]

I know, I just have a beef with the name soya "milk". It's not milk, soya beans aren't mammals.

most vegetarians eat a fair amount of junk food
