We have a lot of people to feed, of course we'd want to breed animals in a way that produces as much meat as we can. We've been eating meat for millions of years. We've evolved with meat eating because it was beneficial for our survival and development. The meat coming from animals we domesticated probably isn't meaningfully different from meat from animals we hunted. It's a different method to get the same kind of resource and one of the reasons life expectancy has gone up. And of course I can say we evolved to be able to eat meat and then also eat things that we didn't evolve to eat. Saying its natural for us to eat meat doesn't mean we only have to eat meat. We can just as well eat other foods we manufacture, as long as they provide the nutritional and caloric content we need. That doesn't hurt the argument that eating meat is natural. And producing meat requiring more resources doesn't detract from then statement that we breed livestock to produce more meat to feed more people. We accept the additional cost while trying to get as much as we can from the livestock, because the sheer quantity of eating any food isn't the only factor we consider. I never said that we should only consider how many people we feed, I said we breed animals to produce more meat because we have a lot of people to feed. But we also want to be able to feed them more than just vegetables and fruits. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
