People are dumb about eating meat. If you eat the things that come from meat (milk, eggs, cheese; ice cream, chocolate milk, parmesan pasta), you get plenty of protein without having to lose your source. You kill the fucker, and you eat the fucker, but then there is no more fucker to get more fucks from.

LOL. I am all for being "socially responsible" also but I think you're right...this does go a bit far

Well fear not, if things continue as they are won't be many people left in Africa after aids gets done in the next 20 + years

Simple economics... kill the cash-cow, it stops producing cash. Is killing the cow really worth the deceptive pleasure of eating the beast?

Rigged

lemme think...yes

Well, eating more or less meat may have have legitimate health reasons behind it, but i'm not doing it just to bring the corn prices down. The idea is downright counterproductive - most of the really starving economies are agriculture based, so when prices are low, they are simply unable to compete against larger, more efficient Western agribusinesses. Higher prices give all those small time 3rd world farmers a fighting chance... If demand for corn goes down and prices drop, you'll be destroying lives of the people who produce something in favor of those who do not.... Seems kinda pointless to me.

Ever milked a bull? All the above products come from cows (and in one instance chicken)... you only need a few bulls really to keep the rest of the food going. So no harm done.
