Topic	Vegan: I Refuse to eat anything that comes from a living creature
Doctor Foxx 06/17/17 3:45:13 PM #32:	Playsaver posted... NightMareBunny posted... Vegan: It's not the same! if it can't act or respond to anything then it's not the same as eating a living breathing sentient creature So you like to prey on the weak and helpless. Living things that most of the time can't defend themselves in anyway. (This statement is directed at Vegans, not the creator of the topic.) Then there is the probability that if every person in the world went Vegan we would have to use all the land that these other animals live and eat on, to grow food that humans can even eat. So in the end we would have to kill them all to be able to eat food that isn't from an animal. That's not really true. Livestock require land for grazing and for their feed production. It's leading to great environmental destruction to keep up with the demand of meat eaters. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/04/veganism-could-save-world-new-study-argues http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160926-what-would-happen-if-the-world-suddenly-went-vegetarian More vertical farming efficiency will greatly help with this issue. Meat requires more land used for agriculture. The BBC article discussing the ramifications for impoverished nations really does need to be taken into account. That's a serious concern. As is the greenhouse gas emission situation for continuing on a meat heavy diet--in time the climate change from that agriculture will also lead to further poverty, mass migration, agricultural collapse, and mass deaths. Something has to change. Purely vegan may not be the way to go, but meat consumption really does need to be curbed for the benefit of the planet. --- Never write off the Doctor! <cite>Doctor Foxx posted [p:881299724] in Vegan: I R...
