Noah Zarke – who is only brave enough to write under a fake name – criticises vegans/vegetarians for responding to arguments put forward by letter writers in defence of meat-eating. Nor is anyone forcing you to stop eating animals. Your suggestion that there’s no other way to feed the world’s burgeoning population other than with meat certainly calls for a response because the reverse is true. This means that 13-20 times as many people could be fed if those grains were simply eaten by humans. Likewise, it takes around seven pounds of grain to produce one pound of pork, and 4.5 pounds of grain to produce one pound of chicken.
