Cow Meat- Eco-Friendly?

Definitely not. Think about it, you want nice, juicy steak or beef, right? Not thin with little flavor. So to make this meat taste better, the source of the meat, A.K.A cows, need to eat more of their food, grass. They need a lot of grass, which means a lot of land. This also costs more money. Technically, eating smaller things like, well, bugs, would be a lot better for your wallet, health, and environment. Bugs: don't need land, they are easy, free, and you can grill them yourself. Plus, sometimes there are growth hormones in cow-produced meat.

Here's a fact that may sound funny, but is actually serious: Everyone farts. It's natural. And with our farts, we produce small amounts of methane, which very slightly hurts the environment. Cow farts hurt a lot more. They produce a lot more methane, which is a HUGE factor in Global Warming. In fact, "The United Nations has declared the methane from cow emissions the "'greatest threat to the climate, forests, and wildlife.'" Livestock emissions are responsible for 18% of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. That's more than all forms of transportation put together."

That's a lot of cow farts.
