To address your point on oil - I don't have the energy it would take to make all the necessary quotes and whatnot to continue the discussion about meat for the moment - it very much is a global rather than an individual problem. As a consumer, I would love to drive a car that uses less gas, or even one that doesn't use petroleum products at all. Put simply, that's just a matter of money. But governments need to conspire to make such technology affordable and available. As it is now, I'm not going to buy a hybrid car that not only costs me more, but is less convenient to refuel. Investing money in improving the technology and making it more widespread is both wise for the environment and wise for business, but as long as governments are in bed with oil producers, we shouldn't hold our breaths waiting for any significant changes to occur. I'm about as far right-leaning as anyone on this board, but I'll be the first to admit that corruption is so rampant as to allow major corporations to have world governments wrapped around their little fingers.
Edit after noticing that I used the word "major" three times in two sentences... (edited by Silvershield on 04-19-06 03:34 AM) |

This is only somewhat related, but, isn't it crazy how in some countries people are starving to death, while in others they're having contests to see who can eat the most?
Anyway, not that I'm real anxious to get back on the subject of victimizing animals, but what happened to the original topic? (edited by emcee on 04-19-06 05:08 AM) |

You can eat bugs and bugs are perfectly healthy.
If eatings bugs was more main stream and farmed, we'd feed them less and get more out of them than cows and other live stock. Yes, I would eat bugs. As for global warming, don't even go there, please. Yes, global warming is happening, but it isn't catostrophic global warming, it's a pattern that the planet goes through. Look up the "Medieval Warm Period", where it was much hotter than it is now. |

I think where this thread went way off track was when people decided to discuss real world morality rather than hypothetical issues that would arise from an altered state of things. |
