I'm pretty sure those stats only apply to Feedlot beef.

Agriculture in general, which is what most of our water is used for, but especially cattle, the greatest producers of methane, which is considerably more harmful than CO2. Interesting stat--it takes 16 lbs of grain to produce 1 lb of beef, and 12,000 gals of water to grow 16 lbs of grain.

Give us a little clue, George.  What industry are they talking about?

Subject: [Dialogue] Saw Cowspiracy last night

Wanda and I got to see Cowspiracy last night at our local library.  I would highly recommend the film, especially if you are interested in conservation, global warming, climate change and saving the planet.  I wonder if others among us have seen it?  You can look at it at Cowspiracy.com.
