meat-free is better

In 1982 I became vegetarian because of the arguments derived from Ron Sider's works about sustainable living. And now we are seeing these arguments entering an even more public arena. What this article helps us to see is the truly stupendous amount of animals that are in existence soley to become meals for humans. And then you calculate what it costs in resources to maintain thsoe animasl in their short but resource-hungry lives. It's surely time to at least see meat as an occasional treat rather than an everyday right.

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
