Subject: Major Changes Coming Soon

[Guest guest]

Interesting article. I don't know why you would

worry about vegetarianism being effected any

more that a meat based diet. I would think that a

vegetable based diet would be easier to sustain

under those climate conditions than would a

carnivorous diet; it takes way more plants to raise

a beef cow than it would to feed humans.

Maybe we who are used to living on plants will

actually be better prepared.

Major Changes Coming Soon

 

This affects vegetarians because, frankly, it's a luxury lifestyle

these

days. We need to plan ahead and I'm not sure we can ensure that

we'll

be

able to continue our chosen lifestyle in the very near future.

 

This also explains the insane behavior of our Ruling Elite lately.

They

are panicked to position themselves well for the future.

Because a vegetarian diet is much harder to procure, from scratch, one's self.

Respectfully, you must not know much about subsistence farming.

Not really. That particular vegetarian cliche is based on agribusiness, not on

subsistence farming.

 

In modern agribusiness, cattle are fed grain and other fillers during the

fattening stage. However, if you raise cows yourself, for your own use, they

are usually grass-fed. In modern agribusiness, it therefore takes more

growing-space to raise a cow than it does to use grain to make bread. This is

not the case in subsistence farming.

 

Since humans do not eat grain, and cows do, they are one of the cheapest animals

to raise for subsistence. Goats are up there too. So are chickens.

Most people who are used to living on plants are also used to buying them at the

grocery store. HOw " prepared " does that make them?

 

People who don't know how to grow their own food may be in for a rude awakening

and possible starvation. Growing one's own food is very hard work if one wants

to have a balanced diet. Do you know how many soybeans it takes to make one

pound of tofu? How much wheat to make one pound of gluten?

 

I have grown my own vegetables in the past. I will do so again when we buy a

house later this year. However, if the situation does become critical, the

first thing I'm going to do is get a cow and a couple of goats. I won't eat my

cow or my goats- I will milk them. Raw milk is a very nutritious and

protein-rich food. I'd also get a couple of chickens for eggs.

 

I'm not speculating on the report or its contents- I'm just saying that the idea

that vegetarians are somehow better prepared for collapse of a petroleum based

economy is not accurate.
