Similarly, I think there's a new point, of contention with banning of meat. Scientifically speaking, we're omnivores. Although we are also adapted to eat vegetables, we also require meat, for the most part. There have always been a lot of deluded vegetarians out there, who think that just simply switching to vegetables is healthy. Most of the time, it is not--vegetarians often have to take supplements because they are off meat. This is not to take it to the extreme, eating lot's of meat has been linked to numerous diseases. Eating it in porportion, say three or four times a week, has not.
Honestly, I don't forsee any action done in this area with regards to global warming simply because of the natural order of things. Eating Meat is the natural thing to do--it's hard to argue against ideas of natural order--especially seemingly basic ones. Pragmatically imagine how many natural order debates have come up against non-traditional relationships (homosexual, etc.) Now imagine trying to go up against the meat, with the "it's just natural" clout behind this.
I really think this is more related to overpopulation. Most people have issues with how the meat gets to the table, which has been reduced to very poor practices due to neccessities of feeding large populations.
I'm also a bit confused about humane meat farming--it seems very hypocritical to me. When something ends in killing the animal, is there any humane part of the process? Don't worry bambi, I'll kill you in your sleep.
