Theos-Talk Archives (October 2009 Message tt00191)

I am not anti or pro vegetarianism - however, if we suddenly stopped eating meat, or cows and sheep were off limits - would we destroy the balance of nature - would we then be overrun by the animal kingdom and how would we feed them all?

>Suppose that people will eat meat less and less, animal industry closes their animal farms one by one, farm animals decrease by number gradually, more soybeans and vegetables will be available to hungry peole all over the world, since animals eat much more than people in quantity to become meat, more soil and water will be available for people to live with. We will have a more healthy earth with less pollution (created by animal farms).

>There are a number of excellent documentarys on the evolution of farming and farming equipmentthat realte the how and why it was fundamentally necessary to improve machine farming in order to supply basic demands levels of the world ever increasing populations without wich society would have had rapid collapse and contractions and the remaining industry would have been burial of the starved billions. Hoards of ill educated youth will agree with the most mindless ideas Here small animal life prevents necessary sustenance improvemments due to the protected species act in several different areas and regions preventing needed work that would improve conditions. Animals are not senior to humans, sorry, they are in the ranks of creation but no one will convince me to agree with radical politically motivated assininities.

>It is interesting to speculate what happens if most people were vegetarian today. Whjat would cattle, sheep, chicken , turkey, and other animal ranchers do? would they continue to feed animals that they cannot market? I don't think so. Then what would they do with all the animals? Set them free? Cut the fences of their ranches and abandon them to retire on a pension somewhere? What would happen to all the Farm Equipment Mfgrs? With no one to seel their product to they would fire the workers and shut their doors. What about all the other Source Suppliers that sold them all the parts and steel and rubber, plastic and tires and all else they needed, thye could all go out of business also and fire all their employee's who then could carry signs protesting animal rights lol. 
>
>What about all the supermarkets that carried all the meat , chicken, lamb, salmon (oh BTW the Indians would still eat meat and salmon, and chickens etc lol) what would they do when they couldn't supply it anymore because there weren't any more dairys or animal husbandry businesses and now there isn't any need for Bar-B-Que sauces or other sauces, spices, flavorings. And what about the Feed Companies that supply feed to the Ranchers and hay and Chicken feed they go out of business also. And what about the truckimng companies that had steady regular contracts to transport and deliver the evil products to market? They go out of business also and fire all theiur employee's who go on un employment and and then welfare like all the other happy crowds who npow are very satisfied that animalsare senior to humans but not senior to potheads lol. 
>
>And what about the huge loss of revenue in fee's and taxes to city, county, state and federal governments because all the businesses that used to support in some significant way the traditional diets of sane people went to hell in a basket? They also must contract and furlo many people and staff who also can go on unemployment and later welfare with the many millions of other evil people who worked to feed others belly. 
>
>and remember the activists are also against using land for raising soybeans which are used to make soy based meat substitutes which it is posited that people would eat when they went vegetarian. So when theere is no meat, fowl, lamb, chicken, fowl, fish , eggs, or insects like snails (a life form) chocolate covered crickets or many other living animal lifeforms that are traditionally eaten

>I do think that the Meat , Fish, Fowl, Products constitute the major part of income for Super Markets. Lettuce is very cheap comparatively and more importantly much less profitable as regards margin wise and I seriously doubt thety would continue the business with out the Protein supplying animal products. So 100,000's of thousands more will be fired when the doors close and go on unemployment and later welfare like all the rest. BTW our local Health Food Co-op has a splendid Meat, Fowl , and Fish Section all "Organic" for those who worry about evil contaminations. Wonder why that is lol?
