Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi Marge, That's Butch's point, if I get it right.....the issue isn't cut and dry at all. There are many facets to what is going on, and it's always easier for someone - or a group of someones - to fight a big evil. But rarely are issues so black and white. Frankly, I wouldn't mind if people stopped eating so much beef. But that's the vegetarian in me talking. I have read enough about the connection between the rainforest, and the beef industry, to think I understand the connection. It will take a lot more homework, before I have a broader understanding of AT & the environment. Cheers, Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
