Reply #7: there are areas in africa where a vegetarian diet is completely impossible [View All]

[pitohui]

there are areas that are in just such bad shape that you've GOT to have a goat (because a goat changes thorn tree into usable meat and/or milk) or you've GOT to have a chicken (the chicken changes insects it scratches up into usable meat and/or eggs)

being a vegetarian often seems to be a "class" thing for a reason

when you're living at a subsistence level, you have to be more practical

that goat you have staked out chewing thorns growing in a ditch could be a real life saver in some parts of the world

IMHO people should not impose their religious beliefs in the vegetarian diet on hungry people
