Fact: If we keep basing most of our diet on meat, the pollution caused by the countless defecating cattle will reach epic proportion.
Fact: The methane farted out by the cattle would actually cause more damage to the atmosphere than cars.
Conclusion: Basing the world diet on meat is unsustainable.
Now, would you be able to live without meat? Soy beans instead of steak? Miso soup instead of stew? Veggie patties instead of those lovely juuuuuicy burgers?
Could you cope?

FACT: enough fresh rainwater flows into the ocean annually from a small lake in British Columbia to provide for all the water needs of california for several years. (several hundred square miled of lake, and 33 feet of annual rainfall)
Canada kicks ass!!

canada fas enough farmland currently that we could feed the world, without any other country producing any food at all, so I think we need not worry too much about the whole population thing, we'll feed them.(and if you worry about the whole freshwater thing, don't, canada owns 1/5 of the world's freshwater, and we're trying to get permission from the government to export it...)

That's what I'm saying, the only way we'd effectively manage to feed ourselves in the future is by pretty much becoming vegetarians and eating like the Asians.

...eating like the Asians.
That struck me as really funny for some reason.
"Wow, you've lost so much weight! What's your secret?"
"I eat like an Asian."
"Don't you mean a b-"
"Asian."

who cares? ID EAT THEM ON PRINCIPLE!
I'd rather have a well-fed human race and a clean world than eat a hamburger.
*shrugs* It's not that hard to go with out meat for days. Mind you, I do grab that stake when I get a chance 
Sides, you're projecting only for cattle. You forgot chickens, pultry, wild game (Deer, Bison, both are, by the way, more healthier, and more enviromentaly friendly then our farm raised cattle), pigs, fish...
There is more then one way to get meat then cattle.
The most efficient farms in the world are small Japanese apartment block farms I find that pretty funny

I'd be impressed if all that weren't completely fabricated daydreams with no scientific basis at all.
It's called "Vegan propaganda"
Cow shit isn't pollution, it's called FERTALIZER that crops CAN NOT GROW season after season without. [ 08-17-2002: Message edited by: Maradön² ]
"If people weren't ment to be eaten, they wouldn't be made of meat."

Aanicat had this to say about John Romero:
Did run across a nice little bumpersticker..."If people weren't ment to be eaten, they wouldn't be made of meat."
Ah yes. One of my fave sayings.
er...
so I've heard...
Really the "theory" is just a collection of completely unsubstantiated speculation that isn't even fit as a worst case scenario.
In Reality Land, raising cows for meat rather than eating the grain the cows would be eating isn't anywhere near as inefficient an energy conversion as the extremist, dope-smoking, lanky morons would have you believe, and it provides the agriculture industry with an INVALUABLE source of cheap fertalizer that crops can not grow in the same soil year after year without.
As for methane, apart from being a completely clean burning source of energy, it does the exact opposite of depleating the o-zone layer and actually creates more o-zone gasses in the tropopause. While it's not really a positive effect, it certainly isn't nearly as damaging as propaganda spreading idiots would have you believe.

ACES! Another post by Niklas:

I'd sooner reduce the world's population by 50% with a paring knife than give up meat.

Aanicat's account was hax0red to write:

Only after they've had the chance to move around a lot. That's why the younger you get them the more tender and tasty they will be.

Hamster Mack Boo had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
The only problem with canibalism is that if you eat parts of the brain, you can contract a deadly disease that eats away at cerebral cortex (sp) and causes loss of motor skills and eventualy death.
Oh isn't that called MS? And why is it that generations of people have eaten cow brains and yet it was never reported to cause any harm? Why would human brains be any different? Or monkey brains? I think it was anti-cannabilism propiganda.
Just like the Donner party story has been re-written so many times to be politically correct that I doubt the original story exists anywhere.
