Although he makes several important points, it appears as though Mr. Salatin is missing the big picture that he preaches to others about.

I think that you are also missing the point. The reason that animal agriculture is causing so much damage to the environment is because of scale and lack of a natural cycle. Before factory farming, farms were mostly self sustaining, running on sunlight water and hard work. Which is how Joel runs his farm, its a beautiful idyllic place, with rolling green hills, plenty of pasture, trees, bushes and microecosystems, exactly the kind of place you'd want to live. His farm helps to capture carbon from the atmosphere.

If you practice vegetarianism or veganism that is your choice and you should be free to make it, but omnivores should also be free to practice their lifestyle, especially if they are doing it as conscientiously as Joel is.

"Food miles don't feed climate change – meat does", well one of the main sources of GHGs from animal agriculture according to World Watch is "Refrigeration and transport of meat around the world." Plants also need refrigeration and transport, one cannot separate one from the other.

We have a broken food system in the first world, and it will take diversity to change that, with good, concerned people like Joel Salatin.

The cigarette companies should get this guy to peddle their poison. All the stuff they need can be found in chapter 12 of this presentation.

Perhaps Mr. Salatin would do better to read more himself as he suggests others to do. Here are somethings that I would recommend:

"Food miles don't feed climate change – meat does"
http://www.newscientist.com/article/...meat-does.html

From the United Nations, "A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and the worst impacts of climate change."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...meat-free-diet

As much as 51% of GHGs are the result of animal agritculture.

Salatin is undoubtedly an American Christian. His entire presentation is done in the style of Evangelical preachers lecturing on creationism.
