Are we all really just cannibals?
 

Read this interesting article questioning what would happen if the human race turned vegetarian / vegan. This is not to say I am one, though I try to eat less meat, but it would have both positive and negative consequences. At present it is simply unrealistic but it seems to me that eventually, perhaps some centuries into the future, we will be viewed in the same way we view cannibals today.

What Would Happen If the World Suddenly Went Vegetarian?

I enjoy a good ribeye steak or a juicy "smash" burger and fries. I get my veggies on a sausage and pepperoni pizza by the tomato sauce and occasionally a few mushrooms. My father was a meat and potato man and lived into his 90's. Why ruin a good thing with veggies, when you can eat those animals that enjoy their veggies? Give me a Brazilian steak house any day over a salad bar.

Tastes like chicken?:icon_hungry:

Secondhand vegetarian diet. Only eat animals that are vegetarian. No meat eaters. Seafood is the reverse.

So you can be a second hand veg by eating deer? Asking for a friend who is a vegetarian.

I am an unrepentant carnivore, but love my vegetables as well.
Especially the ones I grow myself.
Many moons ago, ate some of the animals we raised as well.

I hope the carnitas in my lunch tacos did not come from long pig.

Dealing with the present...
 

and very near future is enough for me. I think a person has to be a bit of a masochist to worry about the future when I won't exist.

Imagine if George Washington had wondered if there would be people who would want to end free speech or freedom of choice.

It is a fools errand to wonder such things when the light at the end of the tunnel could really be an oncoming locomotive.

Cannibal means a person who eats the flesh of another human. I sort of doubt we are going to turn into that. I also doubt we are all going to be chewing the cud like cows anytime soon. Our teeth tend towards omnivore.

I'm mostly a carnivore...:icon_hungry:

Maybe it’s one way to reduce greenhouse gases.

I stopped reading after this. It's a well known fact that vegetarians produce more gas than meat eaters.

When I read this statement, the author lost all credibility.

Mostly????? Do we want to know more?:bigbow:

Great!
 

Great! More methane! :ohdear:

Better question What if Bill Gates was buying all the cattle land so he could rid us of beef (polution crap) and make us eat ...... eeeewwwww I just can't say it.

but you get my drift.
