I did not do this.

You didn't! Because:
1- I'm sure he'll be back, probably with some joke about spending time in a Guatemalan insane asylum
2- Even if he doesn't, the credit belongs to Argo who has turned into a ruthless account-vanquisher

Argo is out of control. Who will be next?

I have never vanquished anyone.

You're painting in big, bold, highly slanted strokes here. Methane emissions as a cause of greenhouse gasses are mostly coming from cows (and grass-fed cows at that), but there are so many other animals, produced by other methods, that can be eaten without any serious GHG consequences. And rainforest deforestation as a result of animal protein production? This isn't 1992. Palm oil (a favorite ingredient in vegan and gluten-free products) is a far more worrisome cause of deforestation these days.

Rainforest deforestation to make room to grow and pasture cattle. It's not 1992. It's 2017.

So don't eat cattle then. Eat bison, or chicken, or fish. Or be vegan for the other reasons you listed. But that one reason is so bogus. It'd be like if I said "The Ford Pinto is an unsafe automobile, so I've decided to give up driving."

I think Argo has something against cows. I think he wants them eradicated.
