[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4616898, member: 63856"] I have had many Facebook battles on the subject with animal rights folk, they just don't seem to appreciate that not all parts of the planet will grow foods that humans can use, to the same level of efficiency that's possible with ruminant grazing... nor that the pulses and legumes people would need to survive on this theoretical vegetarian planet do not grow in enough areas to support our population, no matter how many plastic tunnels we can weave out of flax, or how many solar ships cart things across oceans.... it isn't feasible to save our planet this way. Nor do they want to hear the truth, much easier to get shouty... It's not really much of a stretch to see that the best thing for our planet is to hide the keys and leave it covered up as much as we possibly can - even farmers are in denial that this is factually correct - so we as a species are in trouble. Plenty on here fall straight into the "oh but we can't do it here" defense the moment you suggest that there are more efficient ways of food production so.... our best hope is to evaluate and question our actions as opposed to just crack on with doing what has worked in the past. The past isn't where we're headed. [/QUOTE]
