You'd have to raze thousands upon thousands of acres of land to feed this nation alone based on a vegetarian diet. To put it in something that would make sense, to feed the world on a vegetarian staple we'd have to destroy the entire rain forest to produce enough legumes, grains, fruits, and vegetables to feed everyone meagerly. Aside from the sheer amount of natural landscape being destroyed (which would put several plants and animals into extinction) you have to add in the "commercial" aspect of regulating massive vegetable farms. I'm talking billions of dollars thrown into genetic engineering, pesticides, forced reproduction etc. and if the amount of grain being produced doesn't kill an ecosystem the chemicals and "insect-resilient" plants will. | |||

Adding onto it, we're not herbivores we can't go out in our backyard and munch on grass and tree leaves because we'd get incredibly sick and suffer malnutrition, so we're kind of forced to grow the strings of plants that are considered "edible" to us which would starve out a good portion of natural herbivores because they tend to be selective with food sources which in turn would harm carnivores.

The worst damage to the environment is mankind himself, we have no natural predators, we are one of the longest living species, we breed with no concern (no innate ability to stop as some animals do when they crowd their space) and we consistently change the landscape. In a few decades we'll be at 10 million, in a century well beyond that til we starve ourselves out cause of food shortages so essentially we're going to breed ourselves into extinction.
So if you really care about the environment buy a carton of Marlboro reds hang outside the middle school and hand them out, a little cancer by the age of 30 is a good way to equalize the population and prevent stagnation of critical ecosystems. | ||
