global warming: factory farms part of the cause?

[Nacht]

i would like to add something

first, i would like to thank everyone for commenting! these kinds of discussions are very beneficial. hopefully everyone has learned something they didn't know!

it isn't completely the gasses that are harming us. it is the waste created by these factory farms. a lot of them have run-off into the surrounding areas. less factory farms = cleaner = less burning of rainforests

while eating meat is something humans have been doing for centuries, humans have NOT been eating meat THIS WAY until the last twenty years!

the bad thing isn't eating the meat, it is what HAPPENS to it. it is so full of pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics, that is it rapidly becoming the WORST thing we can eat. look at the america around you. have we ever seen weight issues in this quantity in the history of humans?

ask any coroner what they find during autopsy, and they will tell you: colons crammed full of undigested meat. if you eat too much meat, the body cannot digest it. our system are only supposed to have TWO meals in them. most people are walking around with 80% blockage of their colon. that means about 4 meals are backed up in there. this is what leads to colon cancer, and meat eaters are susceptible to this. if only 20% of your colon is touching the food, how much of it is really getting digested? i cannot stress this enough, people: FIBER. clean out your system. look online and you will find tons of info on this subject. if you have trouble losing weight, or know someon whe does, look into this. you will pleasantly surprised. you can't lose weight if you are carrying around 10lbs of blockage.

you don't have to stop eating meat, just be smart about it. don't eat fast food, buy organic whenever possible, and eat less of it. buy locally if you can. this way, you support the local economy and you are helping the environment.

for the sake of being absurd i propose the following: to save the animals from large farms and the rest of the environment, i say we eat vegans. i mean the are humans with better eating habits than most and thus would have the most nutrients. but as i said this is just me being absolutely and positively absurd. it would be one way to reduce the total human impact on the planet. repeat i am saying this for the sake of being absurd

I just did some research. Tempeh does not contain B12 by itself. The starter culture used to make it is often supplimented with the bacteria that produces B12. But it does contain it.

In order to ferment things you have to have a culture of bacteria much like that in yogurt. It is what causes the gas release to ferment things. The bacteria is leave the residual of B12. But that is true, depending on the culture used to ferment, many things should have B12 residuals.

I tend to go this route...Everything in moderation and think before you eat it.

I may not be at my ideal weight but, I'd be a heck of a lot heavier if I didn't follow that simple statement. The thinking part really does help with weight control too.

I'm an omnivore ...I eat everything LoL ...except most beans/peas, and okra...and liver, or any funky animal "part". I'm not a fan of veal either. And Sushi Rulez!!!

Here is how you ferment things. Incase that was what the no was too. You have to have microbes in order to ferment things. That is why they use yeast in beer, it is a bacteria that takes the sugars and processes them, giving of respatory gases and other waste products, one of those in some cultures, B12, in others that wonderful alcohol that makes us all happy.
