I won't argue with that fact, humans are the most lazy and wasteful animals on this planet AFAIC. I walk or ride anywhere "close" unless I need the weight carrying ability of a vehicle, cannot say the same for a lot of my friends and siblings :-(
Just a little tid bit - it takes 2,400 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef, while it takes just 25 gallons to produce a pound o f wheat.
Not only would seriously cutting down consumption of beef/red meats dramatically reduce the need for so much land and water for such little return on quantity, but with that land and water you could easily produce enough food to feed the world. Also, the fact that so many consume so much red meat these days is a big part of the obesity problem around the world, never seen a fat vegetarian.
