What if???!
What if???
Lets just say that Ashley and Sarah get their wish and everybody stopped eating animals and cows sheep pigs etc were basically extinct, except a few who have now been given equal rights and can now vote and have paid jobs in offices etc!
The countryside is covered as far as the eye can see with potato and carrot crops. What happens if we get a Potato blight like the Irish did over 100 years ago. It ruined their crop and thousands if not millions died of starvation in the ensuing famine. What would we eat then if animals were off the menu?

Im talking about a general crop faliure. It could be through disease, a pest problem. Flooding or drought. I just used the Irish problem to point out that sh1t can happen

if we aren't suppose to eat the animals. . . then why are they made of food????
LOLLERSKATES!
each other
fruit, bread, salads, fish (if they still inhabited the oceans), nuts, the list is endless ... each other ??
Hey! and i was wondering why insects were so many!...
The blight would normally only effect one type off plant eg: Potatoes so we would still be able to eat other root vegetables, we could also import the food from other countries which was not done one hundred years ago.
If we did just grow crops it would reduce the carbon emissions and increase oxygen renewal ending global warming.
Twinkies
Marmite sandwiches of course....
And all the other things that us veggies eat...we don't just live on spuds you know!
Oh look everybody-here we have yet another troll hiding behind a computer screen asking bogus questions.
I'm with bluegirl
The same thing we do now when herds of cattle develop Mad Cow Disease or when flocks of chicken develop avian encephalitis.
We eat something else.
Ask yourself this - Why did the great Irish Potato Blight happen over a hundred years ago? Read up on your history before you start quoting from it.
...no history book? How about that computer you are typing away on! LOL
We'd eat all the infinite varieties of land & sea plants that weren't affected by the disaster.
Your arguments are nonsensical:
1. If animals were extinct, how could they be on the menu in the first place??
2. If all the plants were destroyed, there couldn't even be a few animals left, they are herbivores who could not exist without plants to eat, last I checked, we can't eat the nonexistent.
3. A leading cause of today's starvation is not for the lack of animals to eat, but the lack of arable land due to the unnatural over-breeding of animals by humans. It is the greed of the industrialized countries for animal agriculture, which disproportionately takes up farm land at the expense of those in developing nations.
"In fact, livestock are increasingly being fed with grains and cereals that could have been directly consumed by humans or were grown on land that could have been used to grow food rather than feed. THE DEVELOPING WORLD'S UNDERNOURISHED MILLIONS ARE NOW IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH THE DEVELOPED WORLD'S LIVESTOCK - AND THEY ARE LOSING...Over 60% of US grain is fed to livestock...BEEF CATTLE RAISED ON FEEDLOTS MAY CONVERT AS LITTLE AS 2.5% OF THEIR GROSS FEED ENERGY INTO FOOD FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION...LESS THAN 5% OF THE PROTEIN IN FEED BEING CONVERTED TO EDIBLE ANIMAL PROTEIN. These figures are especially damning since the diet of cattle at the feedlot consists largely of human-edible grains." Gaverick Matheny, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics
"The world must create five billions vegans in the next several decades, or triple its total farm output without using more land."
Dennis Avery, Director of the Centre for Global Food Issues
"FEEDING A VEGETARIAN POPULATION ALLOWS MORE ANIMALS TO EXIST THAN FEEDING AN OMNIVOROUS POPULATION. With only one-fifth of U.S. beef cattle grass-fed, the negative effects of overgrazing on wildlife populations are already well-documented (Donahue 1999). THESE RUMINANTS GRAZE ON 160 MILLION HECTARES, WHICH IS ABOUT THREE TIMES THE LAND AREA USED TO GROW CROPS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. What would happen if the number of grazed animals were multiplied by ten, as Davis proposes? More forest and grassland would have to be converted to pasture, more soil erosion and watershed contamination would occur, and more wild habitats would be destroyed." Gaverick Matheny, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics
We would eat another type of crop. If the world had no greens, then there would be no animals. Therefore, as long as there are some greens, there will be a food supply for humans. There is no excuse for killing innocent animals, so please stop trying to come up with one. You need to throw out any meat from your house and buy all vegetables and fruits. You will be healthier and you will not be harming the innocent ones.
Well most of our food is imported so your argument seems immaterial. But if we assume that all crops fail then what would you feed the animals on?
YOUR AND IDIOT! WHAT A STUPID QUESTION!! PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND SHUT UP!!!
