Mr. Vice President,

I would like to hear your thoughts about the connection between livestock production and climate change.

I don't expect that most Americans will stop eating meat. But surely we can begin to talk more openly about the environmental catastrophe of factory farming, which keeps meat artificially cheap by externalizing the tremendous costs we all pay to support this industry.

What can environmentally conscious Americans do about the problem of factory farming?
