All I can say, is wow.

It's not a need though, it's a want. If everyone in the world was vegetarian, there would be no world hunger....You can feed 10x the people using the same field for crops than if you use it for raising livestock.

If everyone ate meat, once the animals started getting thinned out we could start eating each other and regulate the population. Your 10x comparison is invalid.

/\ and that would be your choice to die

I disagree. Guns have feelings too, don't dismiss them.

Flat out untrue.

/\ It's at least 5x. I've seen this statistic in many different books and studies.

Vegetarianism is not the solution to world hunger. LOL. That is the most absurd thing. People aren't starving because there's lack of food to go around the world. LOL.

 

[Casey]

/\ The fact still remains. I'm not saying the cause of world hunger is a lack of food, of course there's political and economic issues, but the point is still true. Even if just 10% of the world became vegetarian it would help a lot.

 

[S O F I]

How is the point true? If all people were vegetarians, there would still be hunger in the world.

The point is that you could feed significantly more people if you used even just some of the land that's currently being used for livestock, for crops instead.

 

[S O F I]

OK, that I can agree with.

I'm not going to ask you to edit the other post.

 

[Casey]

You know I was being facetious for the sake of making a point. It's an idealism, but if it were not for politics it would be true.

how are they going to grow vegetables in parts of Africa?

ever heard of desertification?

 

[Flipmo]

Many countries in Africa are extremely fertile - more than any place in the world, while there is desertification and it keeps expanding more and more. Most countries in Africa, if the political and economic will allowed it, are able to produce enough food for themselves and help other nations if done properly. I shit you not. Zimbabwe for example, is one of the select countries in the world that is capable of producing enough food for themselves without the need of importing it. The only problem is, all this land is given to incapable farmers who have ties with higher authorities, or it's given to corrupt government officials who don't have a clue about proper farming - so they settle with that genetic Mosanto crap.

so what do the animals eat?

Plants do grow in deserts, you know.

That's correct. They are starving because they don't know where the good restaurants are. And because Israel has a blockade in place, fucking little Eichmanns!

I get no thank you's even though my article makes at least as much sense, backed in the same amount of science!

Well, the two articles address two different ways things can go bad for us if we continue embracing this use-and-throw consumer mentality.

The real problem is the exponential growth in the human population and our advances in fields of medicine and surgery keeping the earth from killing people off at the regular pace. We have to start sending people to Mars to cultivate the planet.
