GS101 Chapter Notes -Soybean, Hectare, Conscientious Objector
Document Summary
There were reasons of dietary health avoiding fat and cholesterol and distaste for the idea of feeding on the flesh of another sentient being. The misuse of food resources in a world where people still went hungry the enormous amounts of grain and pulses fed to cattle to produce a much smaller amount of beef. Meat is seen as a conscientious objection to a system with waste at one end and starvation at the other. The burden of justification should be turned around not why are you vegetarian?" but rather why on earth do you eat meat?". Eating meat is distasteful and unnatural to those that grow up as a vegetarian from birth. In society as a whole vegetarians and vegans remain a small minority. In britain a november 2007 survey by the department of environment, farming and rural affairs showed 2% to be began, 3% to be vegetarian, and 5% restrict themselves to fish and chicken.
