Now that we've hit 7 billion people, I started thinking about a college prof of mine. He stated that the earth can 'technically' only sustained food for 10 billion people.

Pfft. Look into how much grain is wasted used to feed animals for meat while people are starving to death TODAY. We don't have a food problem, we have a compassion problem.

I'm what they call a flexitarian. I usually don't eat meat but goddamn I need the occasional burger or a couple of tacos. So I'm definitely part of the problem. That just means that I'm a hypocrite, not that the problem doesn't exist. Can't be helped though, I do loves me a tasty burger!!

Most of the time if it's suggested that we eat less meat people will actually eat more as a big "fuck you", usually while putting a "If we're not supposed to eat meat then why did God make animals so tasty?" bumper sticker next to their truck nuts. What can you do?
