Will the world have to become vegetarian by 2050? page 2

how?

Off the top of my head . . . widely available and free birth control to whoever wants it, offer incentives like those voluntarily sterilized without having children get a free college education, eliminate tax breaks after a certain number of children (after two you get taxed at a higher rate) and so on.

that's cute, did you just graduate?

You really ought to crawl back under that crazy rock you came out from under.

at least my rock is real and not an imagined rock

I've no doubt . . . .

I've no doubt . . . .

you're a do-gooder, and do-gooders by definition live in fantasy land. Earth is not somethign you impose ideals on, it lays its laws on YOU.

I think I found a great plot for my NaNoWriMo novel: A satire of a near-future dystopian society who buy into the idea that they can only eat vegetables... until, over time, the world gets over-populated with animals who rampage human society.

Perfect.

This is a novel I would read! And yeah, they kind of overlooked the issues of animal overpopulation, which would put an additional strain on the ecosystem. What will happen to all of those tasty cattle if we don't eat them?

[oxide]

get rid of the whites

Demographically this would be least efficient as whites are not a majority population and are definitely not a major producer of offspring.

you realize that the situation is self correcting. Notice rates of "neolithic" disease.

what is happening to Monsanto products will happen to humans.

Pretty soon mother nature will expect to be paid and she will be paid well as famines and disease run rampant throughout the globe. her life blood will be returned and none of us have to do anything but watch and eat whatever your primal substitute for popcorn it.

Well, way back when I learned that the use of energy in consumption is always roughly 9:1. So plants use 10% of sunlight they get to build new cells, herbivores use 10% of the plantmatter they eat, carnivores use 10% of the meat they eat.

So yeah, eating meat means a higher waste of energy. Whether or not we can deal with that, who knows. Maybe growing steak in the factory is the future
