Good point. There's no way to feed anywhere near our present population an omnivorous diet with wild stocks, but, morality aside, the most efficient and least expensive way to feed six billion would be to adopt a primarily vegetarian diet.

Meat is rarely an economically efficient food, as it takes ten or fifteen Kilos of grain, fish meal, &c to produce a kilo of commercial meat.
Better to treat the meat as a luxury item and just consume the grain.

Grains and beans are concentrated, easily transported and need no refrigeration or special preservation, plus, a given population could be fed on much less acrerage if half the grain didn't go to meat production.

I agree with this. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. Considering the reaction to the Health Care reform, imagine the outcry over food culture reform. :cover: (Although at some point I don't think we'll have a choice unless we are willing to control our reproduction.)

But still, considering the way my spiritual and philosophical upbringing has trained my viewpoint, I actually feel the same way about industrial plant production as meat production, since it still constitutes a mechanical processing of life.

So there will be no dancing and card playing in heaven along with no meat.

Yep, and that's no place for me.
