Many meat products are made out of cows, cows produce methane which is a colorless, odorless, flammable gas and is the second largest cause of greenhouse gases in our environment. This article further explains: http://www.brighthub.com/environment/science-environmental/articles/48663.aspx Because of the demand for meat being so high, we have slaughterhouses packed with these cows they are producing to grow up quickly to be sold for food. If we had less people eating meat, the environment would suffer less as well as the animals. I also found this article, which i though summed up some of the facts well: http://timeforchange.org/are-cows-cause-of-global-warming-meat-methane-CO2
