[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 1615738, member: 112460"] Meat production globally is inefficient. As a rough rule of thumb it takes 10kg of plant material to produce 1kg of animal flesh. This is a huge loss of available energy and makes meat a luxury product if global energy economics are taken into consideration. Having said that there are some places that will not grow plant crops that can be fed to humans e.g. high altitude where sheep can find grazing and desert regions where goats can find forage plants that humans cannot consume. These farming examples support a limited number of humans only. You may only want to eat meat but this could not work for the current population of the world. Also, unless you are an Inuit you are not adapted to survive without a dietary source of Vitamin C. Scurvy is not fun! [/QUOTE]
