RE: You Can't Be A Vegetarian

in #health7 years ago

Hah, I have to say I agree with you. Actually I don't mind people become vegetarian, be the point is I hope them don't just simply pretend that they are in higher class than the others. I see a lot of them just seem like look down other who eat meat! Like they will say, no, how can you eat meat which killing animal. Come on, you are killing a plant!

Sort:  

You have to 'kill' infinitely more plants in order to eat meat, because animals eat plants. Lots of them. Therefore, if you want to save as many plants as possible, you should still go vegan.

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.

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.

yeap. moral hypocrisy
