Most of us are health conscious about our food, but a few become "health nuts".
"Health nuts" usually have a form of an obsessive-compulsive emotional disorder.
Likewise, you don't have to be an environmental OCD nazi to be a real environmentalist and protector of the earth.
Take a pill people.
'Cows don't cause global warming'...
In the past environmentalists, from Lord Stern to Sir Paul McCartney, have urged people to stop eating meat because the methane produced by cattle causes global warming.
However a new study found that cattle grazed on the grasslands of China actually reduce another greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide.
In certain circumstances, it can be better for global warming to let animals graze on grassland.
The research will reignite the argument over whether to eat red meat after other studies suggested that grass fed cattle in the UK and US can also be good for the environment as long as the animals are free range.
PS: Anyone who has visited Garden City Kansas knows that cattle feed lots are bad for the environment. Locally at least.
