Should we eat less meat to help the environment?

Apparently cows are the biggest contributer in the animal kingdom towards global warming because they break wind the most, thus creating copious amounts of methane gas... Strange but true

I think this is a load of crap (NO PUN INTENDED)...I am sure that cattle farms don't do as much to harm the environment as the millions of cars in each major city on the planet do. I am sure that the number of cows on earth or the cow farms don't spew as much toxic vapors into the atmosphere as all of the drivers on the roads every day do. Or how about all those factories, like the paper mill not too far from my house here, that pollute the atmosphere every day with the stuff they emit? How about all the trains and airplanes that travel world-wide...how much pollution do they put into the air? Yes...cows, chickens, and pigs are definitely more detrimental to our planet than all of these things...what a load of bullsh*t (again...no pun intended). This point of view by this great scientist illustrates all too well what an old southern preacher/comedian named Jerry Clower used to say..."some people are educated beyond their intelligence"... There is also another term that comes to mind...I saw a comment once that asked if a person preferred butter or margarine...to which the person replied..."Cows make butter, scientists make margarine...I trust the cows more than I trust the scientists, so I eat butter." God made the animals...people made the factories, cars, trains, and planes...who do you think does more to pollute the earth??? The rivers and air were pure until people screwed it up. You could drink from most any river and stream without worrying about what was in them. I am skeptical about drinking tap water sometimes these days. I certainly wouldn't want to have to drink straight from the river the way people used to do it. This whole speech sounds like a scheme someone is cooking up to try to sell something...

I've reduced eating meat mostly for health and economic reasons. I never ate much beef anyway. I actually think people in my country eat way too much red meat anyway and it's not natural. But, if that's what they want to eat, I can't stop them. I can only cut down on what I eat.
