Why? Food production through livestock is a waste of calories, land, and greenhouse gases

So you’re saying that livestock is exclusively fed off of byproducts of human vegetable production? That’s incorrect.

How do you get the silage from the farms to the now reduced livestock? Less livestock means a longer average trip.

We can turn silage into ethanol, fertilizer, or whiskey, it doesn’t go to waste.

It’s not. Livestock needs more silage than we would produce for ourselves and creates additional waste products in the form of greenhouse gases while digesting the silage. If we reduced the amount of livestock, you’d have to increase transportation costs to get the silage to the animals. They’re just not an efficient addition to the system on a large scale at all

So? There’s more than enough space to grow more without approaching the greenhouse gas levels of meat production. If 30% of crop yields were inedible, that would still be far less waste than happens due to eating on a higher trophic level.

Connecticut here, what the absolute fuck. I’m wearing so much flannel

So either she’s smart enough to pass the bar and stupid enough not to understand how payment works or she’s not looking for financial compensation.

The bar isn’t that hard, but it’s hard to be that dumb and still pass it.

Yes, the Connecticut-born, Yale-educated southern good old boy was probably not smarter than his Vice President, but he wasn’t anywhere near as dumb as he seemed

Jesus Christ, 2013 is too late for that.

A golf course has more than enough land for very solid refugee housing, though making people stay in Florida seems a little inhumane

The US removed organs from people held in immigration detention centers.

I would urge you to look at what your own country is doing in comparison to the worst of what you hear about other countries.
