Carol commented on the article |This won't change the feelings of the die-hards but it is possible to raise enough animals for the human population of meat eaters by sustainable, humane and enviromentally sound means. It will take spending more that a buck or two per pound to do it as being a sustainable, small farmer we do not hide our costs behind subsidies and other means. But we also provide a nutrient dense food that not only helps our body to heal but also provides a sense of satisfaction and fullness without eating everything in sight. The meat, dairy and eggs in grocery stores cannot compare in taste, nutrient density, humane treatment/respect of the animal or any other quality to what can be produced on the small farm by your local, knowledgeable and caring farmer that is stepping outside of the mega-corporate box.
As for our health, soy should not be a mainstay of our diet, traditional cultures used very little and it was fermented. Our systems are omnivorous - we do not have a fermentation vat like the rumen (cow or goat) or cecum (horse), nor do we eat our poop (rabbit) in order to get the benefits of what the bacteria produce.
The best way that I see that we can help the environment is to get rid of Monsanto and the GMO's. -

The solution isn't to stop or reduce the consumption of meat. The solution is to put the animals back onto pastures where the manure and methane emissions are utilized by the plants. In a well maintained biodiverse pasture setting more carbon can be sequestered in the soil than in a forest. This carbon comes from the air and so Mother Nature has the solution for us we just need to manage the resources wisely.
