Yeah thatā??s a nice try but again the amount of people that could be fed by the crops that the animals eat is something like 10 to 1. It really, really a huge difference so this argument also is completely false.

Again I'm not going after you, just trying to show you how all these really old arguments have been proven wrong a long time ago.

Just about the only place where eating animals made since was when people moved to climates where crops and food were not available during the winter months. Of course in our modern society this is totally not the case anymore.

Please donā??t kid yourself, if all the crops that are grown to feed animals were instead used to feed people directly, we could pretty much wipe out starvation in Africa and everywhere else in a very short period of time. Like a year or two.
