I have to agree with Everly, in my opinion your posts here have been ill-informed and inappropriate, not to mention lacking in manners, though maybe something got lost in translation.
This is what Neville, the Adminstrator, had to say - I pointed out the post to you
"Vegetarian and Vegan threads in this sub forum is specifically for vegetarians and vegans. Omnivores and meat eaters demonstrate a breath taking lack of manners and respect to come to this sub forum and set about vegetarians and vegans for their choices.
It is to be hoped you would not go into the Christianity forum and tell them that Christianity was wrong or bad for the Christians?
Please be mindful of our respect rule."
As to your suggestion that I do some 'unbiased research' to educate myself.
Maybe you should take your own advice.
30% of the earth's entire land surface is used for livestock production already - and this with a predominantly factory farming system. You are advocating grass-fed as the answer instead. A system which requires considerably more land.
Add to all this global population is set to increase 40% by 2050 or so, to ten billion.
The greenhouse gas figures [livestock production producing more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transport combined] come from the United Nations 'Livestock' report, published after extensive research by highly respected and highly qualified scientists.
Are you aware that 45% of global grain production is used for animal feed for the livestock industry?
That the great majority of Amazon rainforest destruction has been due to cattle ranching is elementary knowledge. Ditto that the vast majority of soy grown on deforested land is used for animal feed. (Indeed, 97% of soymeal globally is used for animal feed.)

Livestock production is destroying the planet, not to mention the countless billions of animals butchered along the way for profit and greed.
But, not in my name.
