Think of the acreage to produce one pound of meat vs produce edible wheat. And if we NEEDED to eat meat...I'd be dead. I've been a vegetarian for 16 years and I have a vegetarian and vegan friends who have lived their whole lives without animal products.

Humans have not been part of the natural food web for thousands of years now. We don't curb population growth that way. [/QUOTE]
Don't pretend that you eat meat because you are concerned about herbivore populations.
