Eating beef sparks global warming issue. Are we heading towards a vegetarian diet?

There have been always arguments whether vegetarian or non veg diet is good for human health. Logics come flooding supporting each options almost equally. But a recent study shows somehow vegetarians are doing a favour almost unknowingly towards the reduction of greenhouse effects. Beware meat eaters; may be you are directly contributing towards global warming. In a recent study it is claimed that producing 2.2lb of beef generates as much greenhouse gas as of a car that runs nonstop for three hours. Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in form of methane, released from the digestive system of the animal. Su Taylor, the press officer for the Vegetarian Society, told New Scientist

Everybody is trying to come up with different ways to reduce carbon footprints, but one of the easiest things you can do is to stop eating meat

There has been strange and unusual ways that cause global warming. Now with a burning issue of green house effect and the environmental change in all over the world, this research will be a shock to those who live on a non veg diet. If the theory is proved, then there will be a speculation whether beef or other meat products should be banned worldwide. This is however, a complex situation. People are always reluctant to change a single thing from their lifestyle in order to prevent global warming. There has been some awareness these days, but in spite of that the effect of global warming is gradually increasing everyday. So there will be a strong protest from the people who specially depend on meat products for their living. This study may spark controversies all over, as there will be no way to actually prevent people from eating meat. This will be completely unbelievable to introduce legislation to prevent the entire human community stop eating meat and rely on vegetarian diet. But if further research confirms this story, then we will definitely need some measure to control the use of meat. May be the time has come to rely on some alternative diet. Source Image
