I live in Sydney and Australia's environment is fragile, arable land limited. Grazing seems such a waste of resources. Australians will assert they are environmentally concious, but they are so reluctant to give up meat. The contradiction or irony escapes them. Nice post.

But your point is very valid, eating meat takes up much more of earth's resources... The ecological footprint says that we need 1.8 hectares of land per person to satisfy individual consumption. we currently use 2.2..o clearly we are running a fine line here...but the US uses 9,6 and Bangladesh 0.5.... Bottom line is that there are too many people on this earth and there is too much inequality...we all need to eat less!!and others who dont get to eat need to eat more! Its not just meat, its wheat too..and more..
