Well actually it's rather irresponsible to eat meat...the resources needed
to produce beef far outweigh those to grow crops."

Indeed. The water it takes to produce an 8 oz. hamburger is enough to 
provide for a family of four in a third world country for 2 days. 
(To be fair, beef is the most water intensive foodstuff, but almonds come 
in second (no, I don't eat almonds either)).

That's the main reason I'm a vegitarian. It's a responsible way to live, 
and it can be much healthier as well (tho it's very possible to eat just 
as poorly or worse as a vegitarian).
