ikiss. i accidentally switched the stats(1000 lbs of grain and 2000 gallons of water, my fault) . and those stats come from the beef industry. if you have fed cows and butchered cows then what was the feed to end product ratio that your farm ended up with. go throw a 100 lb sack of grain into a feed bin and see how long it lasts. anyway it is funny that many seem to be so convinced that i am wrong that they have to attack me before thinking at all about the topic. on a good note... it only takes five gallons of water to produce a gallon of beer. but for real chicken is not near as water intensive pound for pound as beef. your point about how beef would be so expensive is true. beef costs us much more than we pay in the store and the proof is apparent every time there is a water shortage to grow feed grains and a fish kill results.

aunty em- you seem to ask me that all the time. do you read past the "if you cant debate" portion of the message every time?. do i need to clear up that i am not a bully and have never beaten up someone that has not physically attacked me! your question would be better suited to those that were advocating violence against peace protestors! now that takes balls... go beat up a peacenick.... and you have no problem with that? ..... with that kind of bravery I bet most of you are afraid of fast tailouts so you fish at troutlodge instead. all i was saying is pick a real battle. you cant even stay on the topic so quit criticising me. do you agree that consumption takes a toll on our resources ?or do you live on a planet that is getting bigger every day and increasing in rivers and runs?
