Thread Name: BS: food
Subject: RE: BS: food
Yes, there'd be more food if people stopped eating animals... but it'd still be in the wrong places. There's too much food where there aren't so many people and too many people in places where food doesn't grow worth a damn. Anyway, the argument that livestock is eating food that people should be eating only holds up in developed countries where animals are actually fed by their owners. In most underdeveloped, overpopulated and underfed countries what livestock there is subsists on wild vegetation or slop not fit for human consumption.
