That would keep the population down, decrease the meat industry and deal with unwanted children. Edited by jamiemartin721 (18 Jul 2017 3.33pm) I'm in. We should prioritise those that are rich in nutrients such as people that eat a lot of vegetables.

What a ridiculous answer. We were discussing intensive farming not population growth

Originally posted by jamiemartin721 It is arguably though a different question, as its a moral argument about the absurdity of religion vs the morality of consumerism. Yes but the common denominator is still cruelty. I see a lot of whining about factory farming which is by and large controlled by legislation but not much about the cutting of animals throats with knives, without stunning, and for no sensible reason. There is far too much pandering to religion and this is just one example.

Originally posted by Midlands Eagle What a ridiculous answer. We were discussing intensive farming not population growth Not as ridiculous as introducing British consumption of meat while ignoring the obvious relationship between the rise of factory farming and population growth. There is also a link between prosperity and demand for luxury food. Have you ever wondered that maybe that is one big reason why people in Asian countries eat less meat? Most Indians also happen to be Hindu, many of whom prefer not to harm or eat animals on religious grounds.

pefwin Where you have to have an English ... 18 Jul 17 4.23pm
Personally, I prefer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's approach to farming. People should know what that they are eating, it should be reared humanely if an animal, all parts of the animal should be used. It would help if kids did not think sausages come from plastic packages. "Everything is air-droppable at least once." "When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."

Originally posted by pefwin Personally, I prefer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's approach to farming. People should know what that they are eating, it should be reared humanely if an animal, all parts of the animal should be used. It would help if kids did not think sausages come from plastic packages. This is a guy who pushed people to eat more mackerel as cod was running out, then when everyone switched to mackerel and it became endangered, put out a cook book all about fish. Ultimately, if everyone wants to keep eating meat and fish at the levels we do, rejecting intensive farming ain't an option. Either it becomes incredibly expensive, or we use up the vast majority of land mass in the world to produce our meat. Already over a quarter of land on the planet is used for livestock purposes. In st world countries, we now have a fairly simple decision to make. DO we want our food to involve mass murder and suffering, contribute enough greenhouse gases on its own to reach the 2 degree threshold of global warming, and contribute to adverse health issues which scientists currently can't keep up with, because livestock farming is developing so rapidly. Or do we make a fairly easy switch to eating food which increasingly tastes the same, costs less, is less harmful for us and the environment, and isn't predicated on killing an innocent living being. A mass conversion to vege/veganism would counteract what Trump is doing with pulling out of the Paris agreement. People who are defeatist about tackling climate change need to realise this. If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

At what point in the hierarchy of living organisms do you regard the killing of them murder? We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
