Hey, VeggieJuicer, thanks for your input.
Animals raised in the US for for food produce over 20 times the manure than the waste produced by the US population. Feeding grain to livestock animals greatly increases the demand for grain and keeps prices much higher than they could be. This is one reason for the high levels of starvation in some lesser developed countries. If everyone in the world would become a vegetarian, grain prices would be so much lower.
In principle it sounds like a wonderful idea. And yes the US wins the cake for grand producer of waste throughout the globe, of grand polluter and general decline of intelligence, culture and integrity. I know, I was born and raised there. Fed on the "traditional" mind numbing, sugar-frosted cereal diet just like many of you (Coke – have a can of dumb down today – it’s the real thing!) And I make my brazenly slanderous remarks from first hand experience, as an eye-witness to the barbarism and terror spawned by my degenerate nation.
Ah, but dear me. I digress. We all have our topics we're passionate about. Where was I...
Right. It's a grand idea in theory. There's just one problem. Biologically speaking we are omnivores. If some people choose to destroy their body through radical diets, they're more than welcome to hop on the band wagon of trendy New-Age-fascism. I too endured an era of my life (a 4-year long one at that) of vegetarianism when, at the tender age of 17, I bore witness to the foul and inhuman acts committed within a Detroit slaughterhouse. And consequently, I became anemic, emaciated (despite all efforts toward the contrary) and suffered from a host of other related ailments, all of which
I had imposed upon myself. I will never have a problem with slaughtering an animal for consumption. It’s the most natural thing in the world – down right spiritual even. I only question how the animals are slaughtered, how they are reared and how they are bred.
As for starving countries. That’s another massively misconceived idea. If every charitable organization succeeded in aiding those in need, the world population (which is already supremely oversized) would quadruple in 9 months, and then again one month later, and on and on. To go back to my earlier statements about the harsh realities of mother nature, it’s sad but true, and if all Americans became vegetarian for the sole purpose of using the extra grain to feed starving nations, you’d be only injuring the planet that much more. I’m not saying down with charities, but I am saying there are consequences. I’m with VeggieJuice on this one. I’ll not injure my health and live outside my biological makeup just to help reduce the mass production of grain thank you very much.
