    Narsi wants to know Why isn't the world becoming fully vegetarian? 8 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.

    So, being vegetarian is not only ethical but also makes the world more sustainable. So, why isn't the world not turning vegetarian? Is it because they cannot control their taste buds? That sounds like such a crime!

    What are your thoughts?

      In 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. As usual, the easiest way was chosen by the nature. The necessity to break customs, traditions, habits also is very difficult even in case of comprehensive food supplying and acceptable price on it.
