RE: The difference is your attitude.
upvoted cause i can tell you mean well and have an attachment to this post. but realistically consider this... the United States produces enough food annually to feed the entire globe. thanks to these mass production plants for food which are actually mostly ethical, as ethical as mass slaughter of food for the good of humans can be. the real problem lies in preserving food and distributing it. if we could solve those those two problems imagine humanity as america is able to feed the entire world, not just eliminating hunger from the United States but from the world forever. so is it wrong to sometimes mistreat our food if we can literally make sure no human ever has to know what the word hunger means. i think even most vegans would agree that scenario is acceptable. unfortunately the efficiency of the mass production of food cannot be celebrated until the majority of it is no longer wasted. points to france laws like the one France passed to outlaw food sellers from wasting edible food. as much food as the U.S. produces youd think we would be on board with that kind of thinking.
Thank you for upvoting @hellhoundz BUT the issue that you're bringing up -Yes, food transportation could solve world hunger but that's unrealistic. World hunger can be solved by simply living a vegan lifestyle. Simple as that. Plus ANIMAL AGRICULTURE is the issue here. The effects of animal agriculture are horrific. Please watch 'Cowspiracy' on Netflix and then tell me if it changed your opinion.
Actually, producing meat is one of the greatest contributors to world hunger...think about all of the land in this entire universe. The idea that there isn't enough land to support growing crops for the hungry in other countries is a joke. Majority of all of the grains in the east are actually sold to the rich in the west in order to feed the livestock that humans are consuming. If currently the U.S. produces enough food to feed the entire globe then why are so many still hungry? Yes - distribution of food is completely out of whack. But I think that starts at the source.
Also, it takes about 2500 gallons of water to produce only 1 lb of meat, which is equivalent to growing about 50 lbs of fruits and vegetables. Think about that for a second. So much water is being wasted so we can continue a very cruel and gruesome act in order for the taste palate to be satisfied for just one moment.
all very good points here kbvictor. my point was the waste really, the numbers i was going off of are almost a decade old but i can only assume weve gotten better at production not worse so... i think simple laws like france has could at least help actually put a dent in hunger even if just for those that go hungry in the u.s. (laws regarding edible food being thrown out)
