Thanksgiving arrives every year with a heated debate over how to best cook that plump and juicy turkey. But the idea of a tofu turkey (also known as a “tofurkey”) has gone from a joke a couple years ago to a reality for many. While vegetarianism has been practiced for over a thousand years in some countries, it is a relatively new concept in the West. And so, with the question cropping up more and more often, should we eat meat?

Animal Agriculture Causes Global Warming
Scary but not so much
This point is largely irrelevant as well. Using it to support your argument implies that stopping the process of raising animals will reduce greenhouse gases. But there is a large hole in that theory: When people stop raising animals, they will turn to doing other things that will increase the amount of greenhouse gases in those areas that were lower than livestock outputs.

We don't damage the way we used to.
Planning has come a long way, we tend to put more into it now.
But I'll humor you; switching from animal to grain and/or veggie production increases global warming how? More methane... uh no. More brown sun absorbing soil exposure... uh uh, just the opposite. Come up with something please, what are these mysterious "other things" you mention?
