My statement was in response to:
I’ll have disagree with what you say about resources in regards to production and transport. Many vegetables can be grown locally. There are 1.2 million acres of organic vegetable production in 48 states. And many vegetables can be preserved in cans. The animals we eat have consumed enough soybeans and grain to feed over a billion people. With that in mind, I dont see how you could think that meat production takes less resources than vegetable production. And then there is also the fact that meat production does great damage to the environment at the same time.
I may seem like a lot of things to you when my words offend your culture. I can’t really put much of what I have to say about where the world is going into good terms. Arguing against a destructive force I would not consider selfish.
Obviously we dont think the same way, but I would like to hear your ideas about where humanity should be headed. Are you one of those mainline Chrisitans that is apatheitc about the future because you think God is going to destroy the Earth at the apocalypse anyway?
If you use electricity, then you fuel the companies such as Enron. YOU seem to be more aware of these twisted companies than common folk, but yet you still choose to support them. (Unless you use solar power)
If you purchase oil or gas, then you have helped fuel slavery and poverty in some countries, and/or even terrorist organizations.
The truth is you can never be sure where your money goes once it leaves your pocket. It that really our fault?
You seem very passionate about many subjects, but you seem to show little hope for humanity.
I say what I do about vegetarianism because it is an aspect of our lives that we can opt for an alternative to corporate production. This is how change begins. Our society requires you to support corporations, and they are consolidating even further. Even you can recognize that corporations are bad things, and this is what everbody needs to wake up to. I don’t have much hope for humanity, it just seems that we are reinforcing our pending destruction each and every day. Environmental ruin, atmospheric destruction, global control, nuclear war; these are all imminent threats to our planet. Do you consider me ignorant or illogical for thinking this?
I am still under my parents control, I am not able to make all of my own decisions about what corporations my lifestyle supports. For some amount of time I plan on being part of a community that lives in redwood trees, but I will eventually get out of America and invest in alternative resources. I feel that the most anybody can do is inform others.
