RE: What if Whole World Went Vegetarian? Wait! Is it even Possible?
What about leaving everyone to their individual choice on what they want?
We are omnivores- eat a mix of plant and animal. There is a reason food pyramid exists.
BTW, people in Burundi eat a diet that is 95%+ plant based and are one of the lowest meat consumers per capita in the world. However, Burundi is one of the most de-forested countries in the world. Suggesting that if the world become vegetarian we will have a green world around us is a fallacy.
I think we are all well aware of the fact that we DO have the choice about what we eat. This article is certainly not suggesting that we all become vegetarian. It's a fact-filled article and I think it's very important that we have more knowledge about vegetarianism in general. The more knowledge we have, the better informed we are to make the right decision for ourselves. If, with more knowledge, people still choose meat then that's absolutely fine but being informed is important.
I have, in previous posts, questioned and demonstrated that many of the 'facts' in this post are based in fallacy and obfuscation. The main reason for most people to learn about vege lifestyles is to know why to avoid them.
amen
The more information that people have, the more likely they will choose to eat healthily raised meat, if they have not already damaged their brain with poor dietary choices.
Thank you for the Burundi info, It is a valid argument. It must also be considered, the part meat consumption plays in the success of the human organism in the context of success of their culture. Many of the more successful cultures are consumers of healthy animals. There is also evidence to suggest that animal consumption in human evolution has been a driving factor in the development of the human brain, an energy hungry, organ that is composed of and fueled in large part by consumption of healthy animal fat.
Everyone should be free to make their own choices. They should also be able to have access to the information that will enable them to make wise choices, should this be their desire.
