That’s right, now the “experts” are saying that it actually pollutes our planet it more to walk than drive… Speechless? Well don’t let common sense block you to the intellectual intricacies that is modern ecological thought.

The problem with walking, is that you burn calories doing it.  And since only a few environmentalist favor letting us die to save the planet (Voluntary Human Extinction Movement), you need to replace those used  calories though eating food.  Now the truth becomes apparent.  The food we eat is polluting more than the cars we drive.

I’m not making this up.  But the problem goes beyond the actual processing of the food, it’s the growing of the food that really racks up the global warming inducing gases.  Now I know what many of you are saying… how can a cow - nature itself - pollute the planet?  The answer is in the definition of pollution.  Thanks to the scientists on the US Supreme Court, CO₂ is now considered a pollutant.    Which is how a typical “1kg of meat [can] cost the Earth 36kg in global warming gases” (CO₂), because cows -well- they breath a lot during their lifetime.

Cows, in fact, are among what those in the industry call double polluters.  That’s right cows also produce methane!  “The gas, released during the digestive process, is 21 times more harmful than CO₂.” I would call the 21x more of an average, because I personally would rate a really bad cow fart as 50x or even 100 times as bad as their breath.
