I don't agree on this Veggi stuff. I mean if everyone in the world were vegans then the animals would over populate. And also we would consume double the vegetation than we consume now to replace the meat, now don't forget about the animals consume rate also. We would eventually have to start eating grass! That is if the animals don't finish it first....
You sound oh so smart right now, I'm truly jealous of your intellect
You are absolutely right in that the world cannot sustain the current human population on foods of non-animal sources, but that does not mean that the rate at which we kill them, as well as the manner in which they are raised for the sake of dying, should remain how it is. As is, people waste food, throw it in for no reason, and consume a meat-to-fruit/veggie ratio that is just generally unhealthy; these people are wasting their own health as well as others' lives - that's the main reason I became a vegetarian, to at least
try to compensate for those disgusting acts.
For the record, as I said, the typical American diet ratio (meat-to-fruit/veggie/etc - made it up) is way out of whack, eating large portions of meat at every meal, and having most vegetables coming from V8 or potato chips that have '1 serving of vegetables!'. It would way more than double our consumption of vegetation if we switched to a 100% vegetarian diet. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "now don't forget about the animals consume rate also." (I think it's just grammatically silly, but it is about 4:00am, so maybe I'm just reading it wrong), but if you were talking about herbivorous animals, then yeah. We give them foods as it is - more, in fact, than they would ever get in the wild, especially fat-rich foods. Animals would typically just eat grass and leaves, and things like that, with a side of vegetables when available. Also, just for the record, humans can not live on grass as you implied (at least in my interpretation - again, 4am, but yeah). Grass is almost entirely sugars. It doesn't taste terrible actually, in my opinion, but it can only extend a life of starvation for a little while - it's good for quick energy when you're in a bind though.
