Summary:

Featuring science writer Roger Bingham, this is a fascinating update of information first presented in Bullfrog's 'Diet for a Small Planet' about the environmental consequences of a meat-centered diet. Comparing a cow to a gas-guzzling automobile, Bingham explains the inefficiency of using meat as fuel for the human body, especially in light of the environmental impact of raising all that meat--from loss of topsoil, and groundwater depletion and pollution, to methane's contribution to global warming, and the growing gap between the rich and poor nations.
