Re: Overpopulation?
We would lose a lot more than protein if we said goodbye to farm animals, they give us a lot of things really including the green and pleasant landscape our country enjoys. Some breeds are the only things can exist in some areas like mountain sides etc, you can't grow crops on mountains or salt flats etc but they can be used for sheep and goats etc.Re: Overpopulation?
Re: Overpopulation?
To be honest I don’t think it matters what we eat, the Earth has it’s own defences against being overpopulated with any species including us. I think of the Earth as one enormous natural garden with all kinds of everything growing in it, we grow in it, flourish and die in it, then the Earth gobbles us up and we grow again. If the garden gets out of control and one species starts becoming dominant by taking over the whole garden they are weeded down to manageable size, all done the way Earth has being doing it since the beginning, by disease, wars and natural disasters, so I wouldn’t worry about over population. I remember reading an article back in the 1960's saying the Rats would take over the World at the rate they were increasing then, frightening stuff, but I think now there are the same amount of Rats per human as there was at the time of Christ.Re: Overpopulation?

...Mark a number of countries do not have land capable of food production and for some people their whole existence is based on tending a few animals.
