Childhood indoctrination

[The Grand Nudger]

But if we actually use our land efficiently to produce plant-based food, which is fed directly to humans, we can solve the human hunger crisis that you base your argument on. I agree that wasting food is unjustifiable in today's world (regardless of the food), but there is no bigger waste of food going on right now than cattle grazing. Whether it's grain or grass or soy or corn, the land used to produce the food that gets filtered through the animals could be used to produce food that humans eat directly, and much more of it. This is where food wastage is really occurring.

We'll need to do quite a bit more than simply use land efficiently. The land that's used to feed animals allows us to turn a commodity that is not nutritionally available to us into one that is (and no, I'm sorry to be the one to inform you of this, but prime cattle country is not sufficient to produce food for human consumption - let alone more food than the cattle themselves provide). Nevertheless, I think you've misjudged "my argument" insomuch as I offer none. I'm not telling you that we should eat meat because people go hungry, I'm telling you that people eat meat because they otherwise -do- go hungry. Im also alerting you to the brutish fact that your veggies are killers as well, killers of animals of all kinds, including ourselves-all the while being quite efficient..btw...and yet still not enough to keep us from starving on a grand scale.

By the by, no, we cant solve our hunger crisis by producing "plant based foods" any more so than we do now (we already produce enough food - that's not even remotely the problem) who told you this...?

(the next time that someone calls a cow inefficient or wasteful I'm gonna blow fucking gasket)
