If some other country cant feed themselves that is their problem. Plus you haven't addressed how taking away all those jobs are justifiable. Why feed hundreds of millions of other people people at the cost of six million American jobs?.

Also, In this thread it was mentioned that clear cutting for pasture is damaging the earth, Where the fuck do you think we get more farmland? Just thought i would address that too.

ok i see you're point now
meat = death
if we didnt have the meat industry then there would be a lot more death wouldn't there

ur a fucking idiot if u remove 6 million jobs that increases unemployment percent, witch will cause a even deeper economic depression, witch will fuck over the whole country

you say f the world but for some reason have respect for your own country? why do we need more farmland? you think we need additional plants to feed humans without livestock?
not sure why i even responded to this...
lol first i never said meat = death. your economics dont account for any of the positive benefits which make 6 million jobs look like nothing. think about it. we are doing more work to get our food which is inefficient. these people can do much more useful work now, i dont understand why you dont see it that way.

Well Your the one saying if we cut out meat we can feed Over 9000 moar people.

Is it more moral to force people to stop eating meat or allow people to exercise free will?

I like hunting for shits and giggles. That way, the carnivores don't have to work for their food.

So basically you say fuck 6 million people and take their jobs for ~7million Americans out of ~307million can be happy? I see no justification.

qft

This guy is so retarded.. Reads one thing off the Internet and instantly believes it. Yeah some farm animals have shit injected into them that makes them worse for us, but so do fruits and vegetables. If ur so woried about getting cancer and dieing from eating meat then u should start growing ur own crops or moving to europe. Have u seen the size of some tomatoes? Disgustingly massive.

Ok firstly, you say you are in perfect health, but perhaps you should actually compare yourself to someone who eats meat and check your protein levels. It is definitely not superior to a meat diet, unless of course you are eating too much meat but if you are eating too much of anything then it is bad for you. As long as you eat the correct amount, then a diet that has meat in it is healthier than one that goes without. The chickens I eat are always free range chickens, so yes I have seen them and they are living a pretty happy life. So are the cows that I eat. I never eat an animal that has been tortured its whole life. Your body does create amino acids, but that is not enough to depend on. You still need to eat protein. And as for the last sentence, that is just bullshit. Meat makes us a fuckload of money. Compare how much meat costs to how much fruit and vegetables cost. I can guarantee you that a meal involving meat will cost a hell of a lot more than a meal without.
