Mizo, I find your comment intriguing...and discouraging! I recently made the decision to give up red meat whenever possible, meaning I no longer purchase it in the grocery store or restaurants. However, I do bend the rules every so often when I see there is a free-range, grass-fed option, particularly when it's from a source I recognize. I've always seen this as a more responsible way of eating beef (an industry now known to be more polluting than all the cars on the road combined), because of the idea that cows are allergic to corn, and their...ahem, excrement, is extremely harmful to the environment due to their diet and mass production. I feel we are far from eliminating meat from our cultural diet (although I would support it if we did!) therefore to up the demand for responsible meat, to me, is a more feasible first step, than preaching veganism. However, after reading your article, it seems this is an issue more honest light should be spread upon. Thank you for sharing!

we have water rising in some parts of the world and drought in others
why can t we get water from flooding rivers and lakes and donate it to country s like
Palestine
let s work with what we have,the old system is not working anymore and the next excuse for wars will be water
LET S PREVENTED
if the governments sit down and talk with the UN and keep things basic and simple we could help each other,we would need each other and the would be less friction
If is a global expense,if all nation contributes we can have a drought free earth for many years
with water comes independence,people would be able to irrigate their tomatoes ,they would have food and less reason to hate us
WATER FROM WHO WOULD LIKE IT GONE TO WHO ACTUALLY NEEDS IT
simple concept
who would stop water from landing ?
we have monsoons in India,are they using all that water,are they sharing it ?
we have lakes and sea rising
can we desalinate it and give it to places in Africa where people are dying?
I know is hard to think that something so simple can be done,is how and when
hearth is changing and we need to go with the flaw and change as well
salamalecum
white light for all

I find this interesting
can we open a new discussion? http://dprogram.net/2009/05/08/feingold-bill-gives-all-us-water-to-the-feds/

it s nice not to feel guilty and not eating meat does that,the problem is that some of as are more omnivores than others and their body does not react as well with just that so is time to do more research blood o is the old one and the harder one to deal with it ,but I have something to say to those crudest,I love my cooked meals and the love that goes in it ,to all what works ,as long as it is as ethical as we can

Is It Possible to Be a Conscientious Meat Eater?
By Sunaura Taylor and Alexander Taylo

The "new meat movement" is against industrial meat production, but not against eating meat. Their thinking is problematic.

Is Economic Recovery Even Possible on a Planet Headed for Environmental Collapse?

By Tom Engelhardt

As the global economy melts down, so is the planet, with droughts threatening food production and industry across the world.

DEVELOPMENT: U.N. Seeks a Green Revolution in Food
By Thalif Deen
"UNITED NATIONS, Feb 18 (IPS) - The food crisis that spilled over from last year could take a turn for the worse in the next decade if there are no explicit answers to a rash of growing new problems, including declining agricultural production, a faltering distribution network and a deteriorating environment worldwide.

"Changing the ways in which food is produced, handled and disposed of across the globe - from farm to store and from fridge to landfill - can both feed the world's rising population and help the environmental services that are the foundation of agricultural productivity in the first place," says a new study titled 'The Environmental Food Crisis' released by the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP)..."

Yes, we are definitely in a time of survival. Things are changing all around us as economic challenges continue, and the question is presented: how much help should we expect from our government, and should that help come with conditions? This age-old political dispute over how much government is too much government, often, in dire straits like our current crisis, finds formerly stringent idealogies adapting. Is it possible that our relative distance from food and water shortages, have prevented ideologies on government intervention in this area from shifting much?

I think that this is a time of exchange to survive,I give this to You and You give this to me,I am good at this and You are good at that,I know we will be ok

You have a great point,I am not to sure on a global level,I thought that it was silly to bail out companies like GM,Ford and other with out demanding from them only productions of green cars,it seams to me that it was the perfect moment but then,who am I?

Global food and water shortages threaten to overshadow other environmental issues we face in the near future. Unfair trade practices, climate change, and growing populations have long caused controversy over their effects on our planet's dwindling natural resources. How are we going to deal with these problems?
