Our ever increasing awareness of how complex our food supply is. http://www.cowspiracy.com/homepage/
It worth noting that here in Ireland I heard it said that around 1916 the poor people of Dublin virtually eat no meat whilst the middle classes consumed around 4lbs per week , even people living on farms back then consumed very little meat - they would rather sell it! Of course some of this video does not totally relate to the Irish situation (our cattle are still primalrily feed on grass and harvest it themselves and we have plenty of water). But as George Lee said the recent increase in milk production will lead to increase in green house gases and it will be the Irish tax payer that will foot the bill . How sickening that will be when so many renewable energy projects that could have happened but for lack of real Government support, as opposed to lip service that is so common amongst our leaders.
