The Earth is What You Eat

Although I am not a vegan or vegetarian I do think about the environment before I eat. By consuming (or not consuming) certain foods we can save our planet. Beef production is one of the largest threats to the earth. The majority of Brazil's destroyed rain forests were the affect of cattle pastures. There is currently a topsoil shortage in the United States, this lack of topsoil is an affect of the soil erosion that occurred because of cattle production. Most of the water consumed in the United States is consumed by cows, imagine how much more water we could have if we ate less beef. Most countries do not consume as much beef as the United States. If every nation in the world consumed beef like Americans there would be no more oil in the world, with no oil left in the world George W. Bush would have a cow (no pun intended).
