... in terms of its 'ecological footprint' according to Stephen Fry. It's a question of the land area needed to raise the amount of meat they eat.

Dog owners are trying to make us all die of starvation! Kill! Kill!

Except for animals with specific jobs that actually benefit Mankind, - ban all pet-keeping by the masses except for Goldfish!!!

And ration meat at British WW2 levels. We eat it too you know.

I long for a sunny future with numerous Land Cruisers gambolling charmingly through sylvan glades.

The price of Chinese restaurant meals will have to rise if dogs and cats are no longer kept as pets.

Yes but you can net the food benefit off the emissions cost.

So next time a dog owner berates me for having a 4x4 I can tell them to get a smaller dog :)

Their other emissions are worse too.

MD and Ted: what could you have missed? Nothing to miss.

You can't get your heads round the idea that there might be a way of reducing every creature's or vehicle's resource consumption to a common standard of acres per year per creature or vehicle?

The slightly annoying Fry also said that according to his sources the world is being used up 40% faster than it should be to maintain stability. Or what's the word... sustainability.

Of course figures of this sort should be treated with scepticism. No one knows it all, or even most of it really. No need to panic yet I can't help feeling despite the mounting clamour from all sides. We can switch to second-class protein almost overnight and many of us would be healthier for it. Ask Perro.

Most of us could eat 25% less and be healthier. The real fatties could eat 50% less and be a lot healthier- that's 40% of the UK population.. Most of them live in Cumbria...

They most likely require a higher nutritional intake to counteract the effects of all the nuclear waste stored at Windscale.

Not to mention the Chernobyl sheep (I said not to mention them)

And the milk. Met a guy, in Wales, whose job then was to measure the radioactivity (Caesium isotopes?) of grass in high rainfall areas, from Chernobyl fallout. Apparently taken up in the silicates which grasses use for structural purposes.

I wonder if the grass in Cumbria is still 'hot', man.

Caesium 137: nuclear half-life of 30 years. Chernobyl: 1986. And apparently the antidote to caesium take-up is a little Prussian blue! Just looked up caesium etc in Wiki:)

It was always a puzzle why those Soviet becquerels went hell for leather to sites near Sellafield and the Welsh nuclear power plants!!
