Probably, the best solution is that we use lots of sources of energy, or sources where their effects would cancel out each other. OMG! Solar panels are going to drain energy out of the sun! | ||

For me it was ethical and political reasons for changing such as: * Eating meat is a waste of resources since so much energy is lost in the process of breeding cattle. * I couldn't personally kill a cow so I shouldn't ask somebody else to do it in my place. * The way many farmers "store" their animals leads to diseases spreading amongst them. The farmers react to this by putting antibiotics in the animals' food in order to stop diseases to spread. The problem with this? We get antibiotic-resistant germs, which any doctor will tell you is quite a problem. | ||

EDIT:A quick google search will also tell you that they dont put antibiotics in the animal food in sweden since it has been outlawed since 86. They still use it but not they way you claim. It is still an issue in other countries ofcourse. | ||

I have the impression usa is in dire need of cheaper healthy food and more expensive unhealthy food. but in development countries the situation is completely opposite of this ; meat has a more appropriate price-tag and vegetarianism is FAR more common. | ||

* I couldn't personally kill a cow so I shouldn't ask somebody else to do it in my place. Thats, in my book, the best reason to not eat meat. | ||

This threads interesting, it's funny seeing what a big spectrum of opinions there are on this subject. | ||

There are adequate alternatives, none that I'd like to consider however. Bodybuilding.com has some answers. You really have to get the full spectrum of vegetables to maintain a diet like that. I really hope I die before vegetarian is the new thing. | ||
