Narsi wants to know Why isn't the world becoming fully vegetarian? 7 months ago
All right, you could say I take a high moral ground while asking this question, but there it is.
I am a strict vegetarian by choice, and my preference is guided primarily by ethics ("killing animals when they don't harm us is wrong"). But I am here not to discuss the ethics of vegetarianism (which I will be glad to discuss on My Desk), but the sustainability of being vegetarian.
Apart from the obvious greenhouse gases increase owing to the large number of cattle population because of non-vegetarianism, there could be other aspects that hinder a progress to sustainable world.

What are your thoughts?

Answer this question / Share a linkIn this dispute the serious thing is missed. Not only proteins are necessary. The meat and fish can give to man's organism the largest quantity of irreplaceable amino acids. To receive all complex of amino acids through vegetative food very difficult due to necessary quantity of food and by a necessary variety of vegetative one.
