I have to agree with michael because almost all our habits including eating meat affect each other on a global scale. With issues like intensive farming being a major contributer to global warming due to methane emmissions and the clearence of forests for grazing to name but a few its clear that your meat eating does affect me. More than half the worlds cropland grows animal feed while 40,000 children starve to death each day. I've only barely touched the list of ways your meat eating affects me, so dont say i'm preaching or impinging your rights. Make yourself aware of all the facts before you bite into your next burger. Oh by the way on average we consume over a gallon of pesticides a year and 55% of that comes from meat. And if all americans became vegetarians your oil imports would reduce by 60%.
