Save The World Kill A Cow
I had a steak dinner the other night with a friend of mine who told me that he was turning in his SUV to buy a hybrid because he cared too much about the environment.
I guess he didn’t know that eating two pounds of beef is responsible for the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide as driving your car 150 miles or leaving your lights on for twenty days straight.
But of course cows aren’t our problem. It’s oil that’s our problem. It’s Detroit with their gas guzzling supersized urban family assault vehicles that are ruining our environment.
Not cows. Cows are cute. Hummers are ugly.
It doesn’t matter that cows are responsible for a fifth of the world’s greenhouse gasses. It doesn’t matter that cows are responsible for the destruction of the rainforests. It doesn’t matter that cow are responsible for the contamination of over thirty percent of our nation’s drinking water.
Because it’s SUVs that are ruining our environment.
Don’t get me wrong. I love meat. I just hate hypocrites.
I think we should eat people. You line up the hypocrites first and I’ll bring the tartar sauce. That’s teamwork, baby.
