Getting Off the Meat and Milk

[schoolglutton]

I'm taking steps of limiting my milk and red meat consumption. Is this for my health or because I care about the animals? Nope, I exercise enough that I'm healthy and those animals are delicious. My only problem so far has been finding tasty soymilk. It's that whole global warming thing. Here's my case

I agree with the soymilk comment. It is by far, the most disgusting thing I have ever ingested. Good luck!

Here's a counter you missed.

As long as you attempt this, I promise to triple my milk and red meat consumption. So, basically, as long as you cut back, the more total consumption there will be in the world. Therefore, the sooner you start consuming read meat and milk, the sooner you'll be doing something to help the environment (by your logic, anyway).

I'll also cut down three trees a year.

I'll have you know that you are not the only one against me on this, Bryant. My friend Jenni was also heckling me. Also, my friend Tom recently came by for dinner and annoyed by me only having soy milk decided he should buy some milk to drink for dinner. Only he did not just get a serving for dinner. He bought an entire gallon.

Of course, he only drank a glass and left the rest in my refrigerator. He told me that if I didn't drink it I'd be letting it go to waste. I tried to convince him he'd just be wasting it, but today I drank milk with dinner. This was right after we both watched An Inconvenient Truth, a movie he wanted to see. When he asked me why I wasn't drinking milk and started to give reasoning he immediately told me that was nonsense. This is ridiculous.

Not to be too big of an asshole, but are you really surprised that people think you have just turned into a nutjob? I mean, there are plenty of things to do that would help the environment, but most of them (like this) are just ridiculous in implementation. For instance, in order to cut down on methane production, you could kill yourself and there would be less people making methane. In fact, you could kill a few other people on your way out the door. The thing is, that'd be completely assinine.

I totally respect that you care about the environment, but this approach is pretty much just silly. If drinking milk is bad for the environment, where do you draw the line?

[schoolglutton]

I think I've directly answered that argument already. While the actual point on where to draw the line is albeit somewhat arbitrary there is certainly a difference by moving further on that continuum.
