Eat More Greens part 2

Here are a few facts:

- "Free-range" chickens never see the light of day. They live in a crowded shed and cannot make it to the little door leading to a small patch of cement. 



- Livestock accounts for 21% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. That is more than all forms of transportation combined!

- Farm animals consume 70% of all the antibiotics produced.

- Milk cows are repeatedly artificially impregnated and confined to milk stalls and milked to yield 15 times the amount that they would under normal conditions. The calves are unnaturally removed from their moms who mourn the loss by moaning (crying!!!).
