Fixing world hunger.

[Atros]

The problem is that people keep trying to solve world hunger by giving the hungry food, so the hungry just eat the food and after they've ate it, they continue starving, so it doesn't really solve the problem.

And about some farm animals getting better fed that some people, if you don't feed the farm animals, they die and you don't get food from them , contributing to starvation. Also even, if you convert all ther land to growing veggies in 1st world countries, it would not solve the problem, you just get a lot of veggies in the supermarkets, actually, more food is grown in many countries than they eat, but since no one buys the surplus, farmers start growing less food. and they won't transport the food to 3rd world countries since the thrid world countries don't have much of transport networks, most of the food would likely get lost or rot due to the long travel times, and the 3rd worlders can't afford to import the food. The real solution is to enable the 3rd world countries to have self sufficency.

Anyway, what weirdo would want to just eat veggies every day of his life???

"Nobody would be healthier if we banned tobacco."

No, we shouldn't BAN it, but what if almost everyone DECIDED to quit smoking?

Same with meat--we shouldn't BAN it, but shouldn't people be free to decide to quit eating meat if they personally want to?

I will NOT be compelled to eat more meat, or smoke cigarettes, just to save someone's job--that's absurd.

If I want to abstain from something, that is my unassailable RIGHT. No room for discussion there either.
