"The Meat Industry is Draining This Country Dry."

"We often hear about water shortages in areas such as Southern California, where citizens are recurrently requested not to wash their cars, not to overwater their lawns, and to use low-flow showers and toilets. Good ideas, all. But you never hear city, county, or state governments combating drought by urging their citizens to cut down on meat consumption, even though the water required to produce just ten pounds of steak equals the water consumption of the average household for a year.” – Excerpt from the 1998

book Mad Cowboy by Howard F. Lyman
