It's a pity that before we've even begun creating a new civilization, we've started issuing dictates. I really hope that this policy is purely for pragmatic reasons and not the personal pollitics/ideology of one person being put upon others.
- w1ntermute 14y ago> in line with his own personal ideologies Sounds like this is at least partially personal. However, there are practical reasons for this too.
- JshWright 14y agoThis is simply a matter of practicality. It has nothing to do with idealogy, it's simply a fact that anyone going to live on Mars (a least in the beginning) will need to become a vegetarian if they aren't one already. Eating vegetarian is dramatically more efficient, energy wise (I'm not trying to be a vegetarian apologist here, I am quite omnivorous myself, it's just a statement of fact), and any martian colony simply won't have the resources to waste on meat. Meat is a luxury.
