you already heard about it that alot of species are in danger because of the hunting on them. maybe it could happend that we can't eat meat in long couple of years. but every human needs meat, you can survive without it, but i think the world would be in chaos. like no hamburgers, no fancy diners, less choices in restaurants or even no restaurants at all, and you can't forever live on vegetables. even an child needs meat so it keeps growing. i've read on discovery one time that they are trying too solve this problem with clones. clone animals so we can eat them, but they don't work perfectly and it cost much too clone an animal. and its hard too clone so much too feed the world of it. so what's the best way too solve this problem?
There are a few flaws in what you said. People can live without meat, they just need to find other sources of the nutrients that are in meat. How else would vegitarians live? I agree that we could eat more vegies, but I don't believe that we are running low on meat. Those who kill animals for food know that they can't just kill every cow (for instance) that they see. They usually will kill males because females produce the babies. We aren't stupid, we just pay attention to how much we are killing, so we don't overthrow a population. I learned that from the "Dangerous Catch" :P
I agree with that matter, I mean sure at first we can, but then the whole world wants vegtables, so soon there will be a world hunger problem and if there were to be any inch of meat left, the people would probley end up fighting for meat. Also we need iron from meat so yeah.....Hmmmmm...
I would solve this problem, by I don't really know as of now so I can not really say. Also if we don't "kill" other animals, sometimes one species of animal will over run another causing flaws that will conclude to a bigger problem.
ya but babies need meat too grow, not inmediatly when they're born but as soon they can eat meat, they must, els the won't grow good, cuz your body makes new muscles on an older age, and for new muscles you need flesh. but anyway lets keep this topic on the way it is now, :P
you think the best way is too shoot the males and eat them and keep the female alive.
i also thought of an new idea thx too estel, clone female cows, atm 15% of the cloning is an succes, but that is 30/200 cows, the cloning will get better (i hope) the upcomming years, but it can still fail at some moments, and its an big population we need too feed
I don't really think that the Ranchers are having a problem breeding the cows/chickens/etc. are they? I mean in a developing country there is an shortage of all foods so i don't think that is what your getting at, but then in the countries that are quite well off (U.S., Japan, U.K., etc. etc.) there is no problem with meat shortages...unless i totally missed a news report here recently.
Yeah thats true, and i wounder how much good or bad the cloning this will cause in the future...
I mean what if the cloning thing was somewhat cheap so it was a regular thing. And that seems like it could solve a lot of the problem of world hunger, I mean you could send a couple thousand cows to places with no or scarice food.
But back to reality, I too hope someday that the cloning thing will get better and more efficent.
@graham Yes! its not that hard...there's plenty of meat free products that have protein. Actually now that i think about it a good friend of mine has never eaten meat in his life and he's in perfect health.
@gman, that giant growth ray is the sun! It works the exact same, if not, very similar. Anyway, Vegitarians get the same minerals, just in different ways, such as vitamins. I haven't seen a stalky vegitarian, but it doesn't mean they aren't healthy.
i agreed with estel, vegies may look unhealthy, but actually they are, it depents on the age, the problem is that you need meat at an young age too make new muscles, and i never have seen an 3 year old vegitarian baby, because they need it. and if your starting too grow, it doesn't depents on how much meat you eat, your body decide it, so don't think alot of meat will change your growth.
