the problem is that it raises questions concerning industrial farming as over against--well nothing, actually.

sample sarcastic response to intellectual drive-by
click to show [SARCASTIC RESPONSE]The professorial tone employed by the author of the attached quote implies that he (atleast) takes himself quite seriously. As we observe, the author utilizes the frequent modus operandi of applying apparent intellectualism when challenging the presentation or syntax of topics he may disagree with (or not fully understand), thus misrepresenting the content of the OP and wearing us down with tedious dissection and run-on sentences. [/SARCASTIC RESPONSE ]
The "OP" was purposely sarcastic, but not veiled. The adverse impact on the environment by all aspects of the livestock industry is a significant issue by proportion, but is rarely discussed or addressed.
I did not suggest that we all become vegetarians, discount the numerous other factors impacting the environment, nor question industrial farming. The UN link was included as a piece of background for the topic. The point of the "OP" was apparently simple (enough) and understood by the majority of responses.
