First of all, I am a vegetarian due to religious reasons. But given the hypothetical case, if I wasn't vegetarian, I probably would not change. Even if I wanted to, I probably couldn't because I would have been eating it my whole life and would not be able to resist the urge. My conscience would have to be my second priority and would have to ease it by helping in other ways. Another reason why I wouldn't change is because this isn't the only way to help the earth. I also think it is wrong to cut back on your diet to help save the earth. As the man on the audio clip posted said, we should spend more money on researching different ways to make saving energy and fuel less expensive.
I do think there is a difference between organic and non-organic foods. First of all, organic foods are much more healthier and safer to eat. Non-organic foods on the other hand must be washed or else all the pesticides and chemicals wind up in your body, which is bound to cause some damage. Organic farming practices are made to promote soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Basically, with organic foods, it's like killing two birds with one stone: Helping the environment and keeping people safe.
Go Organic!!!
I absolutely disagree with animal farming 100%. The factories that do this these days torture the animals just to sell them and get money. The animals' conditions have worsened and their rights are ignored. They are being put through this because they cannot speak, which is very wrong. What if people did the same things to infants just because they couldn't speak? It has become a growing issue these days and many organizations, such as PETA, have been fighting against this.

I am not currently a vegetarian, nor would I become one to make as little of an affect on the environment as it would. I would, however, decrease the amount of meat in my diet, especially after seeing the risks and the way tha the animals are treated. I often have to shop at organic foods stores for wheat free food, and I would definitely consider buying other organic foods there to avoid pesticides. Even though it is more expensive to eat organic, cancer treatments would cost way more.
I definitely think that there is a difference between organic and conventional foods. Organic foods are more expensive because of the hassle that it is to avoid pesticides. Organic foods do not taste different, they just have less coloring, preservatives, etc. than other foods.This site helped me make my decision on the matter.
I definitely think that animal farming is a bad thing. I can't even imagine not being able to move for my entire life. I think that most of our ethical problems lie with people wanting to make money and not caring about anything else: the cigarette industry, pesticides, and many many others. This site helped me make my decision on this matter.

I would definitly not become a vegetarian or vegan to help the planet. First of all eating animals to survive is the circle of life and if everyone became vegetarians then species of animals would become overpopulated. Even though we are not the only species that eats other animals we do consume a big precentage of the animal population. If the circle of life is not in effect then the earth will become so overpopulated that it will cause severe problems for the earth. I do not think that a person should have to change the way they eat to save the earth. There are plenty of other things you can do to help. You can recycle paper, plastic, glass, and metal.You can walk and ride your bike places instead of taking polluting vehicles. People get so worked up about how we kill animals to eat them, but as a vegetarian you kill plants to eat them, is there a difference? You are still killing them to eat them, and they were living before you killed them just like animals.
Yes, I think that organic foods are healthier and have a better impact on the environment. Non-organic foods are unhealthy for the enviornment because man made pesticides are harmful to ALL living things on the planet. Pesticides kill animals, plants, and are harmful for the soil content of the earth.

Yes, I beleive that animals can domesticated and farmed, BUT they should not be treated cruelly. They should have large pastures to roam in and they should not be cooped up in small areas. they should also not be tortured until the point of death, and live in horrible conditions. Other animals besides humans should have rights that are the same as humans. Humans are animals too so do not forget that!

1. I would be willing to change my diet, to reduce the amount of meat intake. This is because it is much harder to obtain the appropiate proteins and nutriets that most meats contain. It is very hard to eliminate your amount of meat to a low minumum, but if it meant saving the planet for the future i think everyone should contribite atleast a little. I am not a heavy meat eater, maybe twice or three times a month, but usually my mother gets organic meats, where they are not forcefeeding the animals. They do not pollute the food they eat with pesticides, insecticides, and anything else that would harm the animal.
2. There is most definitely a difference between organic and non-organic foods. though we pay less to have these non-organic foods, we are also polluting our bodies with all the product they use on their foods to keep bugs away. The average humanbeing would rather a big beautiful strawberry as opposed to those one may grow in their gardens at a much smaller size. At their own expense each beautiful strawberry (non-organic) has been intoxicated with these pesticides. Eating organic fruits and vegetables enables you to be toxic-free. THe price of these healthier foods may be at a higher expense, but in the longrun you are keeping your body healthier and livelier.
ORGAANIC VS. PROCESSED
3.I think that animal farming, where the animals are not being isolated and tortured is okay. Animals, for example cows were created to feed humans. But, us humans have taken this reason for granted. We obtain TOO much of this food group. It is all about the circle of life, the cow eats the grass, and the human eats the cow. I, do not like to see animals being harmed in any way shape or form, to make that clear. I think that harming an animal is HORRENDOUS! I think, in situations such as those, animal farming is wrong. Absolutley wrong.

1. I wouldn't become a vegetarian or vegan to help save the planet. I wouldn't because if i became a vegetarian or vegan it wouldn't have that big of an impact. I wouldn't stop eating meat because its a good source of protein. Also meat contains vitamins and minerals that are good for you. Though I would be willing to limit the amount of meat I eat to help save the planet.
2. I do think there is a difference between organic and non-organic foods. I think that organic foods are better for people and the environment. I think organic foods are better because they are grown with renewable resources and they don't contain a lot of pesticides.

3. I think animal farming is terrible. I think they treat the animals very cruelly. I think it is horrible that they keep the animals in little cages and treat them badly just to make money.

no i will not become a vegatarien in order to save the world. i really dont like vegetables exept for broccoli. i will only become a vegetarian if the world was about to blow up if i didnt become a vegetarian.i enjoy eating meat. instead of becomeing a vegetarian, i would just cut down on the meat just a little bit to help the world in a way.
i think that organic food is better for your health. it also tastes better than inorganic food. organic food is better for the envirment. inorganic foods taste bad and are bad for the earth. they are bad because to make inorganic food they have to put chemicals on it. Here is a link
i think that animal farming is bad. they make the animal go into tight spaces where some of them cant even sit down or turn around. to me i think its a form of torture. they also give the animals wrong diets or under or overfeed them. they are in dusty, dirty places which can cause some kind of disease to the animal.Here is another link

In order to save the planet, I would become a vegetarian. I would not become a vegan because I know for a fact that the lifestyle associated with the vegan diet would be extremely hard for me to follow. In general, I don't eat a lot of meat on a regular basis. I have always been a lover of fruits and vegetables. I feel that I can maintain my protein intake by eating eggs and other products such as nuts. I have always had a strong passion to help make the earth a better place, and if by becoming a vegetarian would help, I would do it.
I believe that there is a difference between organic and non-organic food products. I think that organic foods are much more naturally healthy for the human body than non organic foods. Organic foods aren't sprayed with pesticides and are therefore healthier for the earth and ecosystem in which they are grown. Organic foods are focused around renewable resources and a constant recycling of products.
Go Organic
I feel that animal farming is a terrible phenomenon. This ruthless act of cruelty occurs every single day, and most people go about their days unaware. It disgusts me to think that humans are treating animals in such an un-natural way for their own benefit. Although I am stongly opposed to animal farming, I have yet to take action against it. One day, I hope someone with strong power will find an alternative to this nasty form of treatment towards animals.

1. I wouldn't be willing to become a vegetarian or vegan to help save the planet. I believe if we have the whole world become vegetarians/vegans then we would have an overpopulation of animals that we wouldn't have originally. If I wasn't a meat eater, it would change my diet tremendously. I think meat is a great source of protein and I wouldn't be willing to give that up for the rest of my life.
2. Yes, I think that there is a difference between organic and inorganic foods. Organic foods are healthier that inorganic foods. Inorganic foods are grown with many chemicals that aren't always safe to eat. Although, putting in these chemicals in inorganic foods make them grow faster so it helps the economy and the world in that perspective. Overall, organic and inorganic foods are much different,from the way to how they are grown, to how they are packaged and eaten.

3. I don't think animal farming is a good thing. Torturing animals is wrong and even though we need their food to survive it shouldn't be done that inappropriately like it is today. Animals should be treated with as much respect as humans have. I am completely against animal cruelty and I think it should stop!

1. I wouldn't be willing to change my diet. Right now, this is probably the least of our problems. I think we should be worrying about important things right now, like global warming and green house gases. The world has survived this long with us eating meat. This is rediculous because you have to transport plants also.
2. Yes, I think there is a difference between organic and inorganic food. The organic smart balance that I eat is easier to spread than the inorganic. In other words, its all the same, except they charge more for organic.Link
3. I thin kanimal farming is good because how are we going to eat if it isn't around. How would we raise animals if we didn't have animal farming.

1. I think I would be willing to become a vegetarian. Not a vegan, I don’t think I would be able to live that lifestyle. I know most people don’t think they would be able to become a vegetarian, but I don’t eat much meat. I eat chicken, occasionally some pork, and turkey on Thanksgiving, but that’s about it. I don’t usually eat too much. I think I would be able to become a vegetarian without changing my diet that much.
2. I do think that there is a difference between organic and non-organic foods. Organic foods are healthier for us and they aren’t sprayed with chemicals like non-organic foods. I think they do have an effect on our health and the environment. The pesticides that are used when non-organic foods are grown have a negative effect on our environment.
Outrageous Organic Food !
3. I think that animal farming is wrong. I mean, if the animals are being treated right, then I think it’s fine. However, most animal farms today are treating the animals cruelly. I think this form of animal farming is horrible. I don’t like the conditions animals are forced to live in, or the way they are cared for. I think that it’s wrong how people treat the animals, just so they can get more for their own purposes. What makes animals different from human beings? The fact that we can dominate them? People should treat animals with more respect. Would you like to be treated like that? It disgusts me when I think about how animals are treated on animal farms.
Animal Cruelty Must End.

I would not be willing to become a vegetarian or vegan to save the planet. It may sound selfish of me, but this is mainly because I love meat. I would however cut down the amount of meat in my diet. I say this after I see how the animals I am eating have been treated. I do think there are better ways to help the earth, like stop polluting and recycle.
I think that there is a significant difference between organic and inorganic food. Organic foods come from animals that have not been given any growth hormones and antibiotics. They come from crops that have not been sprayed with pesticides and chemicals that could be harmful to your body. Therefore, I strongly support organic foods and farming. Click Here
Animal farming is a very touchy subject. I think that animals must be farmed, otherwise humans could not eat meat. I say that in from biased point of view of someone that is not a vegetarian. I think that animals should be farmed organically though. Before watching that video, I had no idea about the cruelties and horrible lifestyles of some animals: never leaving their stall, bred until they were very old. In a way it reminded me very much of puppy mills. =[ I found it disgusting that people would go to such extreme measures just to make a profit.

I am a vegetarian already. I decided to make the change when I saw how animals were being treated on factory farms. It does help to be a vegetarian because factory farms produce alot of waste and just dump it in places. The antibiotics used could mutate into viruses that could cause an epidemic, like mad cow disease. Many farms put these "downers" into the food supply.
I think there is difference between organic and nonorganic. Sometimes though the farm might feed animals organic feed, but still treat them inhumanely. They still might not get to actual be outside. So you have "organic" meat but the animals might be treated horrible still.
Click Here
I think animal farming is good when the farmers own small farms and not large corporations. When a farmer has a smaller herd he or she can fully understand their animals' needs. So many family farms have been taken over by the corporations, that now they have to follow the company's standards. These company's want mass produced "products" which is not humane.

I would not be willing to become a vegetarian or vegan even if it will help the environment. I'm still not convinced that by not eating meat, the environment and many other problems will be solved. It would also be too difficult to resist eating meat because it is part of my lifestyle.
I do think there is a difference between organic and inorganic food. Organic foods are grown without synthetic chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Organic food consumers are exposed to a third less residue. Inorganic foods maybe exposed to various pesticides and other unnatural things for various purposes. However, inorganic foods are much cheaper to produce than organic foods.

Although in animal farming, animals are cruelly treated, they are our only source of meat. However, I am 100% against their ways of producing meat. The ways animal are treated are inhumane, so I do think they need to change the way they treat animals.

I believe cutting down on your meat intake can make an impact on preseving this planet. I would not become a vegan but I would lower my meat intake. I believe humans were meant to be omnivores, but I think that can always go to far. I understand the idea of becoming vegan, but I would not do it myself. I think you can do other things to change the course of the world.
There is very much a diffence between organic and non-organic food. Non-organic food hurts the enivronment and potentially yourself. I think there can be a big risk in non-organic foods.

I believe animal farming can be a good thing if it is not harmful to the animals and is in safe conditions. If animals are getting hurt or not treated the way they should be then it is an awful thing.

I do not think that I would go completely vegan or vegetarian. I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. And yes, I will cut back on my meat a little bit. Even if some people stop buying the meat, the companies might still go on producing it. You obtain a lot of protein in meat and you need the protein. It is as if the Circle of Life or food chain. Treating the animals bad before killing is NOT good! What if people were treated like that? We are somehow related to animals, if you think about it. As for eating vegetables, they are imported from foreign countries just as some of our meats are. I don't really believe that becoming vegan will help the planet that much. Turning off the water when brushing, recycling plastic bags, and recycling in general can make a difference.
There is a difference between organ and non-organic foods. Non-organic foods have all these chemicals and pesticides may be present. They can very well end up in your body or the earths' rich soil. That is obviously not helping the planet Earth. Organic is all the earth, man! When I hear the word "organic", I think of natural, safe, fresh, and good for you, too!
I believe that farming animals is good, but they have to be treated well. If they are tortured before they are made into meat, maybe the meat won't taste good. Your last moments should be nice and peaceful and not bad and torturous like the poor farm animals. I don't think that they have a choice in all of this. They can't speak or stand up for themselves! Cruelty is never right to animals or to anyone!

I am not vegetarian; however meat is not a large part of my diet. I think that other people should also reduce their meat intake, but they don't have to become completely vegetarian. I think that there are many other ways to help the Earth and "stay green" other than merely changing your diet. Many say that meat is a good source of protein, however, it is not the only source. If I had to become vegetarian, I would have no problem with supplementing my protein. Protein is found in nuts, beans and other foods.
There is a big difference between organic and non-organic foods. Organic foods are far healthier for your body, since it does not contain as much chemicals as non-organic foods. Although organic foods are more expensive, they are healthier for the environment and yourself. The pesticides in non-organic foods can have lasting effects.
Organic foods!
I am fine with the idea of domesticating animals. However, I am not okay with cruelty or mistreatments of animals. Animals deserve rights. Increasingly, these rights are being overlooked. I understand that eating animals is just a part of the circle of life, however cruelty should not become a habit of humans.
Stop Animal Cruelty!

If I had to change my eating habits to save the earth, I would probably not change to a vegetarian or a vegan because it takes a lot of change just to stop a habit. In addition, you need to eat meat for vitamins and minerals. Being a vegetarian or a vegan is hard because you can't have any meat or products of animals. Finaly, being a vegan or a vegetarian would be a hard thing to accomplish because when you are born, you are exposed to the environment of meat eaters, put also plant eaters. So we are omnivores.
I think that there is a difference between organic and non-oranic food because organic food is more fresh and doesn't have the use of pesticides. Pesticides are chemicals used to kill harmful animals or plants. Pesticides are used especially in agriculture and around areas where humans live. Some are harmful to humans, either from direct contact or as residue on food, or are harmful to the environment because of their high toxicity, such as DDT.
Organic vs. Nonorganic
Yes, I beleive that animals can domesticated and farmed, but they should not be treated cruelly. We obtain TOO much of this food group. It is all about the circle of life, the cow eats the grass, and the human eats the cow. I, do not like to see animals being harmed in any way shape or form, to make that clear.

It is all about the circle of life, the cow eats the grass, and the human eats the cow. I, do not like to see animals being harmed in any way shape or form, to make that clear.
Animal Farming
This idea kept me thinking, and I had to ask myself a couple of questions before I could actually choose a side. Even though I believe that eating less meat might help the environment, I don’t think I will change my diet and become a vegetarian or vegan. I would eat a little less meat though. I think humans were made to be omnivores. We were made to eat meat and vegetables. Besides, during the interview, even Mark Bittman said that eating a little meat is okay. I believe that if everyone became a vegan, the harmony in nature wouldn’t be as catastrophic as many people think. If everybody was a vegan, then it would be fairly useless to keep domesticating cows and other farm animals. This would keep other animals in check via the domino effect; the cow’s predators would adjust accordingly to the amount of cows available and so forth.
There is certainly a difference between organic and non-organic foods. A conventional farmer would use chemicals to promote plant growth while the organic farmer would apply manure and compost to help the plants. While the conventional farmer uses pesticides to reduce the insects, the organic farmer would add scare crows or predators that attack the insects. The list could go on forever. The attracting and appealing look of the non-organic foods definitely beats the odd-shaped, varied colored organic food. Along with the looks and the high costs of organic foods, pesticides also play a large factor. The pesticides sprayed on non-organic food could endanger the environment because of its pollution. For this reason, and for the health issue, many people tend to go organic. Researchers have proved that the amount of pesticides in the food is not high enough to cause a dangerous health risk. There are still experiments to prove whether organic foods are better in nutrition.
I hate those farms that treat animals cruelly. I have heard about many situations where companies and factories torture animals from their birth to their death. For example, veal is made from calves that were separated from their mother. To make veal tender, they need to limit the uses of muscles, so they tied the calf to bars to keep them from moving. I think that they should let these animals loose. It’s basically violating their right to a life. It’s unfortunate that these animals were born into these ill-fated circumstances. I understand that they need to keep production growing to supply the people’s demands. To stop these violations, but still keeping a person’s wish to stay an omnivore, we should gradually cut back on meat. For example, veal should be prohibited in the United States. Our country is pretty influential towards the rest of the world. We should use this to our advantages.

I would not be willing to become a vegitarian or a vegan to help save the planet. I might cut down the amount of meat I eat, but I could never cut it out completely. I have been raised in a strong 'meat and potatoes' family, we always have meat of some kind. I can't imagine going without meat. I think it would be difficult to convince my family to stop eating meat. I like meat too much to give it up. Also, one individual giving up meat is going to make much of an impact. There are other ways to help save the planet.
I think there is a difference between organic and non-organic foods. That does not mean I would go out of my way to buy organic foods. The differences might only be in size, shape, color, and cost. I think that as far as health goes, it can go either way. The organic foods can be healthier, or they can be exactly the same. As for the enviornment, organic foods are meant to help the enviornment. The practices used to grow them reduce pollution and conserve water and soil.

I think animal farming is a good thing if the animals are being treated well. Family farms where animals are treated with care and compassion are good. Factory farms where animals are caged and abused are terrible. I think there is no reason those animals can't be treated well, even if they are destined to be killed for food. Click if you dare!

There are so many good ways to improve your environment. Recycle at home and at school, shut off the lights, conserve paper/energy/water, take short showers, walk to school, etc. The list can go on.
I would not become a vegetarian or vegan to help "save the planet" unless meat was a main part of my diet. If I ate more than eight pounds of meat a week, which could possibly be standard in some American households, then I would consider revising my diet and eat less meat. Since I usually eat mainly rice and vegetables in my diet, I think that I should just try to conserve as much meat as I can and convince my parents to buy grass-fed or organic foods. Ideally, if everyone ate natural foods like fruits and vegetables for 80% of their diet, our society would be a lot healthier and ecofriendly, and nobody would have to sacrifice eating meat. It would benefit America's well-being and environment all at the same time.
I think that it is important to buy organic products that have a good reputation and that actually say, "certified organic" on the package. If it's "all natural" or "naturally grown", it doesn't necessarily match all the criteria that a true organic product does. Baby food, strawberries, rice, oats, milk, bell peppers, bananas, green beans, peaches, apples, and other thin skinned fruits/veggies are the most important to buy organically because pesticides can seep into them, leaving you at risk. This link supports my statement.
Animal farming can be cruel and inhumane. I think that some of the procedures that the farmers use to breed, milk, or feed the animals. These inhumane ways to raise the animals are RIDICULOUS. These practices, such as force feeding, holding animals in small crates without letting them get fresh air, and other forms of abuse should be outlawed. The Humane Society of the United States
has been working towards improving the lives of factory farmed animals. I think we should take this issue as seriously as this society does.

1. I already am a veggietarian; for what i believe are religious reasons. If i wasnt, i would probably not change to one. This is because I would have to give something up that i have been accustomed to for my entire life, something that under most circumstances I would not do. However, i might reduce the amount of meat that i eat, for the good of the environment.
I believe that organic foods are far better than inorganic. Inorganic foods are made by using pepcide, and putting chemicals into animals. hese could potneially cause an outbreak of a lethal virus. ALso, organic foods are generally healthier.

I am against animal farming. I dont think that these animals need to be treated the way are. It is unethical and cruel to just for higher profits. Taking away anythings right to move at will should not happen. I believe farms can still produce a vast amount of food from aniamls without torturing the animals.

I would not become vegetarian or vegan in order to help save the planet, but I would decrease my intake of meat. In my culture, there are sometimes when certain types are meat is used for celebrations such as when a baby turns one month old. I would decrease my intake of meat though, because of its benefits. It is a small way that benefits yourself and the earth as well. Aside from limiting your meat intake, you can also do other simple things to help the planet.
I believe that there is a different between organic and non-organic foods and their impact on the environment. I think that non-organic foods have more of an impact on the environment and humans too. If non-organic foods are grown with pesticides the pesticides probably filter into the earth too. Also, because people eat the produce, then they are affected as well. Organic foods are grown in without pesticides and therefore, they do not harm the human body as non-organic foods would.
Go Organic!
I believe that animal domesticating animals is ok, but to treat them inhumanely is uncalled for. If you wouldn’t treat your pets badly, why would you treat any other animal differently? To me, if the animals raised are going to be a source of food for the population, at least let them live a good life with enough air to breathe.

1. I would be willing to become a vegetarian in order to save the Earth, though it would be a reluctant decision. My family eats meat for nearly every meal except breakfast. I would only be willing to convert if I felt that my sacrifice would be directly beneficial to the Earth’s condition and have a significant impact on the environment. Because I am not necessarily convinced that becoming vegetarian would have such a large impact on pollution (though it would severely hurt the economy, (which may be a good thing if you believe that such companies were abusing animals to make profits)), I would not change my diet, or only reduce my meat consumption slightly.
2.I believe that there is a big difference between organic and inorganic foods. However, I do not believe that it is as major as advertisers would like us to believe. While organic foods may be slightly healthier, inorganic foods can sometimes contain more essential vitamins and other desirable characteristics. Furthermore, organic food, in many cases, negatively impacts the environment due to the high shipping costs and maintenance cost of crops which often are grown far frown where they are sold. If faced with a decision between organic and inorganic foods, I would most likely base my decision on cost alone. I would only opt for the organic if there was an insignificant price difference between the two or if I truly believed that the organic version was significantly better.

3.I have mixed feelings on animal farming. In no way, do I support or will ever support any method of “efficient” farming involving inhumane treatment to animals. However, the definition of humane is subjective and the subject of much controversy. The U.S. does not have enough space for open field farming to sustain future populations coupled with expansion of urban areas. While I understand the cost-effectiveness and practicality of animal farming, I would be willing to pay more for food knowing that no “inhumane” (in my definition) practices occurred.

1. I think that I would maybe become a vegitarian in order to save the planet. I don't like to eat meat but I don't have much of a choice. My family would have it even if I was a vegitarian. I wpuld also be worried about my body not getting enough protein and other things that it needs. I don't think that I could go without eating something that makes up a fairly good portion of my diet.
2. I believe that organic foods are better for your body and the enviornment. It causes less pollution for the enviornment and has less chemical stuff in it that could be bad for your body.

3. I think that animal farming is very bad for the animals. Their whole life is made just so that they can be killed. They go through harsh conditions that in my opinion could even be considered animal abuse.

well i really like meat and i think humans were design to it meat so it would be hard to change to a full vegetarian diet. if i really wanted to i know i could achieve it hopefully but as for now its not looking to good. even if i become a vegetarian I'm sure it won't make a big difference in the world. i do very much think that organic food are way better than non organic food. organic food most likely contains no chemicals and has been handle more carefully that's why it cost more. as for non organic its cheap and they can do anything to it just to make more profit Click Here I don't like the fact the animals don't have the freedom to walk around just so we can eat a better meal. i would rather let the meat be hard so that a cow or pig can rome around the earth freely. i don't like this big farm compaies haveing so many animal that are abused. maybe one day this will all change.

1. I am currently eat meat and veggies, and I wouldn't change that habit if it were to save the earth. First of all the overall impact would be great, but over population isn't good either so the balance must stay equalized or relatively stable. Continuing off that point, there would be a more need for agriculture and that costs money too. If you took away animals from your diet, you would be causing more loss of jobs in the farming industry, which is bad. We as humans can adapt to things, but I believe we are supposed to have a variety to get nutrients and fitness. A little change would not hurt, like maybe cutting down a day of meat or two, but an entire change is a little far fetched.
2) In reality I really don't think it matters if the food is organic or not. As long as the food does not have something bad in its composition,I'm ok with it. This again affects cultivation, but it can be dealt with. If two things had the same nutrients but they were made differently I honestly would not care. From the link I learned that there are some problems with the pesticides, but not immediately.

3)From what I've seen in the link, I'm starting to have a second thought about animal farming. The process looks immoral, and for the greed of the people who are recieving the profit. The following link shows various ways they raise animals to be used in animal farming.

1.would not be willing to become a vegetarian or vegan to save the planet because I think it is a ridiculous theory. I also religiously believe that the animals were put on the planet to feed us. If I truly believed this theory would work I may consider becoming a vegetarian, but the whole plan would back fire.
2.ganic food is much better for the planet because the amount of pesticides used is bad for us and our planet and everything that inhabits it.

I would not become a vegetarian to save the earth, As much as I love the earth (as you can tell by me email), I firmly believe in a "circle of life." By this mean that what goes around comes around. We eat the animals to survive, we feed the animals so we can eat them so we can feed them, and so one, so forth. Now, we all know it's not that simple, but I wouldn't be able to do it. I am a kind-of vegetarian, because I don't ever eat red meat. It is the worst kind of meat as far as electricity goes, because the processing and packaging of it sucks energy like you wouldn't believe. Plus, I don't like the taste.
There is definitely a difference. Organic foods are usually healthier and always better for the environment. Also, organic food tastes purer, and better.

I think animal farming is terrible. Treating animals in such ways is unacceptable. If we are eating these animals, shouldn't they be treated well? You would think so, but they aren't.
