Quote by: strongheartswin  This is not the whole picture. One has to factor in the animals that were killed in the combines that were used to harvest the grain to feed the animals. With that added in, because it takes more acreage to grow meat for people than the acreage needed to feed people directly from crops, the net total means far more are killed in the combines aiding to producing meat than they are in the combines producing end use plant food for people. |
So it's simply scale of suffering that matters, is it? Mao was a fucker but Pol Pot, well he can't compete so must be much much better, right?
Tell me, do you care about the number of insects that are killed by pesticide? It's a bleedin' massacre every square metre when it comes to li'l beasties. And what about the germs I wash off my hands?? Argh crap, I'm a monster!
