Tyson overstepping its bounds based on emotion

Every day we complain about emotion instead of science ruling the day well here is Tyson contributing to the problem. Drovers reports":

As consumers grow more concerned with animal welfare issues, Tyson says beef producers will have to follow on-farm requirements for animal treatment next year if they want to work with the major meat processor.

Hey here is the news flash 99% of the consumers have not a thought about animal welfare. More times than not we create the buzz instead of answering it. The American consumer does not think about it because they only care about access, quality, safety and price. Another undercover video comes out and we do our self more damage than the video did. 

Nothing here Mr Tyson that hunger would not fix. If you want operate as the EU meat companies have done maybe you should relocate over the pond

Cowboy Math

So if 314 million Americans go Meatless on Monday's it reduces GHG's by 0.2%. So if 10,000 Norway's soldiers go Meatless on Monday what did they accomplish? A weakened Army.

Like it or not, you need to have facts from the High Plains Journal

GreenHouse Gas facts

In the United States, 6 percent of all GHGs are emitted from agriculture. Of that, 3.4 percent of the total are from livestock agriculture while it is believed that roughly 1.4 percent come from beef production. Mitloehner has made the case that if Meatless Monday were to be mandated with all 314 million Americans, the reduction of GHGs would be only 0.2 percent. This is so insignificant in the big picture, and we all need to be armed with facts like this that we can repeat as often as necessary to set the record straight.
