[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 122701, member: 189"] And this person replied.... The problem with this kind of article is that all you accomplish is preaching to the choir. Of course the vegetarians will agree and enjoy the article, it's pretty much an echo of how they think and they wouldn't be vegetarians already if they didn't subscribe to that kind of thinking. Don't we all love reading something on MI confirming how right we are in the way we live our lives? Unfortunately the condescending tone you exude (whether you realise it or not) is going to put off your real target audience, the meat eaters. Telling people what tantamounts "your meat eating habits are evil and will ruin the world" isn't going to make anyone listen. This coming from someone whose last three meals were completely devoid of meat. Sadly most of the problems you describe and attribute to the practice of eating meat isn't simply due to that dietary choice. Rather, it's the mass-marketing meat industry pushing for cheaper and cheaper meat that is at fault. It's the greedy trawling boats having to satisfy the lust for cheap fish to the point where they openly fish in marine parks (Pulau Tioman, anyone?). Wanna solve those problems? Push for sustainable farming and fishing. Punish the corrupted officials that let them get away with it. Oh sure you can say that when the demand stops the killing can too and all that, but keep on dreaming; the demand will never stop. Humans are omnivores and there is no getting around it. It is when they pass the line from omnivore to pure carnivore when I would get worried. Really want to make a difference? Educate people on the benefits they get when they opt for meat produced by sustainable farming. Expand their diet to not just eating the same old few meats, chicken, beef, lamb fish... Did you know locusts and sago larvae are perfectly edible, high protein/low fat to boot? Sadly, most people will go EW at the thought of eating insects, since they have been taught that eating insects is icky but yet have no problem eating the by product of an insect (honey). Simplest of all to do, convince people of the benefits of eating less meat (but no need stop completely). Most people nowadays eat far too much meat. Actually, they eat far too much food, period, but that's a rant for another time. In short, the message shouldn't be: "DON'T EAT MEAT". It should be "THERE ARE OTHER THINGS BESIDES MEAT AS WELL. THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOOD TASTING. TRY THEM". By having two people simply eating less meat (quality over quantity) and learning to enjoy a more varied diet you'll get the same effect as one person going vegetarian, minus the self-righteous stigma that goes with it. And other people might actually follow the example, too. :happysingh: [/QUOTE]
