Good point... I agree that "cultivation of vegetation can be just as
detrimental" as animal-based agriculture, but consider this: If growing
vegetation is bad for the planet, then eating meat is doubly tough on
the planet. After all, the pigs and cows are fed on the soy and corn that
are grown... double whammy.
