"To produce one pound of meat requires, on average, about 5000 gallons of water. Compare that to 25 gallons for a pound of wheat. A vegetarian needs 300 gallons of water per day, while a typical meat-eater needs 4000 gallons. It takes energy to transport all that water too, and this means more greenhouse gas emissions."

I used to read about how much water it takes to make meat, and I found very different results from different websites. Beef is really the killer when it comes to water consumption I found, but I don't think the number is quite 5000 gallons of water for 1 pound of beef. Probably because they use plenty of growth hormones to grow them.

Though still, the difference between a vegeterian and meat eater is still significant in water consumption, but I think you should have been a bit more loose with that estimate.

It is good that you wrote this article hopefully some more people will open their eyes from reading it to one of the main, if not the main, cause of global warming.
