Al Gore Admits Meat Eating Dangers–Not Going Vegetarian Yet
Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 in Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink, Politicians.
Al Gore has finally come clean about his thoughts on meat consumption and the environment.
“I’m not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat,” Gore told ABC Television from New York.
Gore had been criticized in the past for claiming to be an environmentalist, but not discussing the effects of the meat industry and global warming, especially in his narrated documentary on the environment, An Inconvenient Truth.
“It’s absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis – not only because of the CO2 involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process.”
“You could add in the health consequences as well.”
Gore advocated eating more fruits and vegetables, but is not quite ready to go vegetarian or tell anyone else to, for that matter.
“I’ve made those changes, and while I don’t go quite as far as Nick saying everybody should become a vegetarian – partly because it’s difficult enough to get the agreement without adding that on top of it – it is a legitimate point of view.”
Ah, come on, Gore.
Don’t be such a faux wiennie. Just cut the animal out of your dietary equation, okay?
