The real problem is our industrial food system and the 1,000 mile meal. If we lived by our food there wouldn't be the cost to refrigerate, package, process, transport, retail, and carry by car said product home to the refrigerator. All of which uses oil, natural gas, coal, road maintenance. This is the real problem.
But go ahead--starve yourselves on a vegan diet. See if I care.

One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Sorry, buddy. That's just the way it is.
