RE: You Can't Be A Vegetarian

in #health7 years ago (edited)

That wouldnt change anything when it comes to the amount of 'killing' going on. Turn a wheatfield into a forest and you'll have huge massacres going on every day. Plants killing insects, insects killing plants, fungi killing everything and being killed by almost everything.

The only impact humans have in that cycle, really, is changing who gets to kill whom. If you weren't feeding soy to cattle, than the space of the soy field would be occupied by wild cats killing squirrels.

The only thing a vegan/vegetarian is reducing is the variety of his/her diet.

Sort:  

Actually the soy could be fed to people who are currently starving - if the world went vegan, world hunger would be solved.

  • If the world stopped burning food to keep market prices up, world hunger would be solved.
  • If someone turned the vast unutilized stepes of Russia into pastured, world hunger would be solved.
  • If African agriculture was modernized (I'm not saying industrialized) world hunger would be solved.
  • if there was large scale seawater agriculture in the worlds deserts, world hunger would be solved.
    ...

World hunger is quite solvable. Charities are either blind, stupid or dont want to be out of a job.
