Have McCabe and everyone else watch this if they are really interested in doing something.

The CowSpiracy is an ode to ban red meat. However, little consideration seems to be given to the type of production. In the US where this movie is made, most emissions are not accruing on the pasture-based cow-calf-operations, but in the feedlots.

Much needs to be learned about how intensive rotational grazing could circumvent the problems of feedlots. This method requires labour inputs, but hardly anything else. It may not be consistent with the image that many farmers have from themselves, and may require a shift in who produces meat, how it is marketed, and how it is consumed. But what is the price of an earth? So many young people actually believe the only hope for mankind is moving into space... if some adjustments to our production methods could make this cosy earth quite sustainable.
