20.It is not necessary to become vegetarian to lower our environmental footprint. Some vegetarians eat an unhealthy diet, drive SUVs, and consume eggs and dairy products produced at factory farms (CAFOs). Some meat eaters use solar panels, ride a bike, grow their own vegetables, and eat free-range organic meat. All of a person's actions make a difference—not just a single act such as eating meat. For example, biking instead of driving for 5 miles can neutralize the greenhouse gas emissions from eating one quarter-pound hamburger patty. [24]
21.Vegetarian diets can cause the death of animals too. According to a 2003 study by Steven Davis at Oregon State University, about six animals per acre, or 52-77% of the animals (such as birds, mice, and rabbits) that live in agricultural crop fields, are killed during harvest. [118]
22.Becoming a vegetarian is not the best way to improve safety for workers in the meatpacking industry. The meatpacking industry can be dangerous, but the solution for improving the safety of slaughterhouse workers is the strengthening of workplace safety rules, and increasing the monitoring of factories for safety violations—not to stop eating meat. Many jobs can be dangerous, but that does not mean that these jobs should not be performed. According to the US Department of Labor, 278 workers died producing crops in 2009. [113] The most fatal occupation in the United States in 2009 was construction work (818 fatalities), followed by motor vehicle operators such as truckers (660 fatalities). [112]
