On my way to Utah not too many years ago, I stopped at a restaurant and ordered a hamburger. Across the street in the field were some cows. My hamburger arrived. I took a bite and looked at the cows, and couldn’t eat the rest.
Since that time, I haven’t quite been a vegetarian, but for stretches of time, I’m close.
Recently, I read about a company that is working on taking stem cells from animals, growing the cells until they mature into meat products.
Now, I could handle that. In fact I would embrace that.
I would be able to eat hamburgers without having to kill an animal, and the number of animals would be reduced, thus improving the atmosphere of the noxious gases such as methane emitted from them.
It’s claimed that flatulence and belching of the 1.4 billion cows worldwide are responsible for 14.5% of all greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. That would be more greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere than all the cars, trucks, trains and other forms of transportation put together. I doubt it, but it is possible when what goes into producing flatulence and belching is taken into account.
In any event, it looks like every possible solution is being investigated or dreamt up in order to protect our fragile environment.
