You learn something new every day. From PETA, I recently learned that cows run on oil.

Raising animals for food causes environmental devastation on a massive scale, and oil spills can be blamed in large part on the oil-guzzling meat industry—which owes its existence to the meat-guzzling public.

If you think this is hyperbolic, here’s the proof:

According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it takes more than 10 times as much fossil fuel to produce a calorie of animal protein as it takes to produce the same amount of plant protein.

Fuldkommen Gak! The animules are made of oil!!!

And in case you’re still not convinced, here’s how to oil a cow.
