“There’s not enough land to feed everyone! The world is overpopulated! Quit eating meat!!!”

I love having the opportunity to poke holes in this craziness, but unfortunately, it happens way too often.

Cow farts are not ripping holes in the atmosphere. Concentrated feed operations, however, are disastrous to the planet, life we are supposed to be stewarding, and our own health and economies. It’s essential that they become extinct in our lifetimes.
