I think life is a catch-22, period! Naturally speaking, I don't think we can ever escape the paradox that is life. Luckily, its 100 years at best and we're outta here!
Don't plants thrive best when we use animal manure to grow them?
I don't disagree with the atrocity that is the beef industry, (and I am happy that I don't consume beef in particular). But I wonder how much plants would thrive if we, for example got rid of 90% of domestic meat animals. Would they continue to produce healthy nutrients to feed humans healthily? As it is, in most places the soil is depleted of nutrients due to over-farming.........

Nitrogen-rich fertilizer comes mainly from animal urine and feces. Fish-based fertilizers also contain a lot of nitrogen and other valuable nutrients for plants. Nitrogen helps to keep a plant green.
Some fertilizers have phosphorous. Phosphorous type fertilizer comes from ground-up animal bones from slaughterhouses.
Iron-rich fertilizer may have dried animal blood that came from slaughterhouses. Iron is used for plants when there is an abnormal yellowing in the foliage (a sure sign of iron deficiency in plants).

Eating a healthy vegetarian or vegan diet, reducing consumption of foreign oil, decreasing air and water pollution, and developing cleaner energy are GOOD for us even if global warming is a farce!
