I admire your decision to become a vegetarian.
Like you, I grew up (in part) on a farm, eating meat. Your points about a vegetarian diet feeding more people, from a simple farm to nations, are correct.
But most importantly, eating meat causes much unneeded suffering in the world.
- roc 17y agoThanks to the green revolution hunger is now solely a political problem. We have plenty of food and plenty of capability to grow more were it needed. But we can't even get the food we already produce for the hungry to the hungry because of the political machinations of our fellow man. So the point that livestock require far more resources than comparable amounts of vegetables is irrelevant to the question of whether we can/should/must move toward a vegetarian diet.
