With environmental control and spending at an all-time low thanks to the large mass of pastoral farms, the economy is benefiting while the people are suffering. A small group of scientists have discovered a form of farming that has the potential to save the dreadful environment.
[validity] Valid for nations that don't have compulsory vegetarianism, a terrible environment, and a Good+ economy.
The Debate
[option] "I call it, unpastoral farming!" announces @@RANDOMNAME@@, the overly-enthusiastic scientist in charge of the anti-pastoral-farms group. "Unpastoral farming is the idea of farming smaller protein rich organisms like snails, butterflies, and best of all, earthworms! With this form of farming, minimal land is required and the land that is under use of farming may never go bad thanks to the magic acts of earthworms! You'd be crazy to turn this idea down, considering all these organisms are fantastic sources of protein! Sure, a good bit of nobody's will refuse to eat these animals because they look gross or whatever, but they don't matter!
[fallout] Fried earthworm with a side of baked butterfly wings is the nicest delicacy @@NAME@@ has to offer.
[option] "I'm really beginnin' to question whether or not this idiot really is a scientist!" grumbles @@RANDOMNAME@@, a farmer who owns well-over 600 acres of farmland. "No sane human would eat those disgustin' bugs, and with nobody bitin' no money's bein' made. Don't you see how gosh-darn terrible this would be for @@NAME@@'s economy? Although I can't deny that the environment is quite a problem, this ain't the way to deal with it. How about ya put a cap on the amount of land a farmer can own instead, like 1,000 acres tops?"
[fallout] @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ can't travel a 10 kilometers without seeing grazing cattle.
[option] "Screw the environment!" @@RANDOMNAME@@ exclaims as @@HE@@ kicks over your favorite flower pot. "Meat production means money, and placing stupid regulations or making us eat bugs is the dumbest thing you could do! Bump up the tax rate a wee bit bit and begin subsidizing the meat industry! We'll become a farming empire!
[fallout] Cattle outnumber @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ 10:1.
[option] "These fools don't know how bad all these meat products are for them," states @@RANDOMNAME@@, an extremely competitive middle school gym teacher as @@HE@@ drops down and gives you 50. "How about instead of people eating their own food, the government hands out approved ration packs? It'd be cheap, and people would get nothing but vitamins and nutrients in every bite. You'll be sacrificing people's right, sure, but they shouldn't deserve that right if all they munch on is rotting carcasses!"
[fallout] McRonald's has become the #1 stop for swiftly-made ration packs.
Please recommend a name change, I don't like the current one.
