The world’s total meat supply was 71 million tons in 1961. In 2007, it was estimated to be 284 million tons which = 3 Tons of manure for each American. Yummy... NYT
Good article, but I always get pissed off when people talk about how the amount of corn or soy it takes to create one pound of meat has more calories than the meat. It's not the calories that are important with meat, its the protein. Plus these articles always have a way of ignoring the horrible farming practices that go into growing all those veggies at the super market. There are dead zones in seas all across the world from the use of fertilizers, pesticide and poor land management. Ok, enough rant.

GREAT to be a vegetarian!
