The methane and CO2 produced by farming cows accounts for around 50% of our greenhouse gas emissions in the US. not to mention that more than half of the food (and clean water) that we produce in this country is used for farming animals. This is gigantic issue in our society that needs to be stopped immediately, it's not sustainable and has proved to cause irreversible damage to not only our land in the form of nitrogenating the ground, but then leaking into our water systems and creating "dead zones" in the oceans.
