I wish more people were vegetarians. That would leave more meat for me.
I really do wish more people would at least stop eating beef and pork. It does take a lot of land to grow food for these animals. Around here alfalfa production takes up a lot of acreage, and water. The water used to grow feed is probably where your friend gets the idea that feeding cows uses a lot of water.
I see places where cattle have severely polluted streams and ruined stream banks. I know that it can be considered "natural" for cows to be along the streams, but not the high number of cows that are out there.
I prefer the balanced approach. A little meat, a little fish, a little veggie, and no tofu.
I figure that it's a good thing there are people that want to be vegans, and that there are people that prefer to eat meat and meat products. It helps keep everything in balance.
I also want to say that I agree with previous statements that over-processed foods of either genre are what is the most un-healthy.
