Quote by: StrongHeartsWin  I don`t think Kuldeep when he posed his question meant a sudden shift over night to vegetarianism. It would definitely be gradual, and with gradualism there is ample enough time for adjustments to come about without the automatic grim picture you have painted.
Your depiction is what is shortsighted, because the change to vegetarianism would definitely be a farsighted event in the future. That said, wanting the world to adopt vegetarianism is not shortsighted -- it is indeed farsighted and the most practical way to feed a burgioning population. |
It was never specified that everyone turning vegetarian would not occur over night but over a lengthy time span, so I went with the assumption that this was being presented as a "what if this suddenly happened?" question, not a "let me make a thread to convince everyone of a Utopian idea." So, if we're going to get detailed, exactly what time span are we talking about? A month? A year? A century?
If it were over a short period of time than yes, it would kill a lot of people. Do you have a counter argument to this? And regardless of whether it happened over night or over 10 years, it would drastically change numerous cultures; if you deny this you're very ignorant to what a small change can do to a society, let alone one as drastic as what's being presented.
