I came across the above article while doing some research to write a similar piece. It seems almost all points I was going to make were already included. This piece was written in 2004 and is every bit as relevant, if not more, today. Please have a look, it’s a short and informing brochure/article.

Want to save the planet, reduce greenhouse gases, ease skyrocketing food prices, reduce the drag on American health care from obesity and heart disease and some cancers, and use agricultural land more efficiently?

This isn’t a crazy vegetarian’s crusade against meat eaters. Go ahead and eat meat, but do it in a responsible and sustainable manner (sustainable both to the environment and your health). Reduce consumption and help ease multiple global crises at once.
