No more meat?

[Poorisolation]

Won't happen.
We'll have crappier, cheaper meat, or starving africans.
Or people will give up on their aversion to grown meat.
You can have my steak when you pry it from my flabby, chubby hands.

*looks at self*
*looks at you*
*looks back at self*
Sounds good to me.

I once met a militant vegan
She told me her name was Tegan
She offered me her body
In a deal most shoddy
For she said no more meat for this wee man

We already have starving Africans now, whenever the rain fails and aid does not arrive, thank you.

And there are other reasons for it not arriving than just Corn being too pricey or something. Including - but not limited to - transportation-networks simply not existing or being marked as 'seasonal'.

All this means is that food gets transported less in poorer countries.
It sucks, but that's the rules we set up when we conquered everything so we have to play by them...
The West won't give up meat, it just wont happen. Failing a sudden shortage due to catastrophe which leaves everyone meatless for a few months and they realize it's not so bad, people will probably gladly turn a blind eye to their purchasing meat brutally screwing over the rest of the world.
"We africans need this land to grow our grain!"
"Sorry, we're raising grain here."
"Grow grain in your own land?"
"Nah, we're raising pig there."

I was watching a nature documentary about the ecology of Monterey Bay. Apparently it is so productive because sediment from the sea bed is channeled up an underwater valley upswelling in the bay. Now this is probably a completely mad idea that will be swiftly ridiculed, but could we not increase productivity in other areas of the world by creating similar upswellings artificially? A long pipe with a big fan blade at the end would seem fairly low tech.

it would be far cheaper to mine a mountain flat and sprinkle it on the ocean.

I want to see inland crab farming to go with the fish farming.

A woman who looked like a steal?
Who bans you from steak, fish, and veal?
I my high opinion
the animal dominion
Aint a good trade for copping a feel

You are assuming that the problems relate to choices made. It's no such thing, although bad choice can make a bad situation worse.

Have you ever compared the profile of Africa-as-a-continent with Europe-as-a-continent?

Or compared the number of navigable rivers on either?

Why do you want to drive cows and pigs into extinction?
Face it, You are a genocidal monster. I just wanna eat some meat.

Might be the end of the world as we know it

[Capitolinium]

Don't gloat, veggie-lovers. Us meatlovers will find an alternative.
Hey, did you guys know that human flesh tastes just like pork?

We've already come up with alternatives. Like soy burgers. And walnut burgers. And almond burgers. After a few months, you can't even tell the difference.

Except soy milk. I still don't like soy milk.

Soy is supposed to be bad for mens' hormone levels, no?

Edit: It seems the research is not conclusive. Though I do have a sneaking suspicion that the far end of a certain political wing would rejoice at anything which results in even a small level of emasculation of men.

[Great Nepal]

Trust me, nothing gonna stop me from eating meat, food shortage or otherwise.

What if no one's actually producing meat anymore?

Buy eggs and produce chicken yourself... before starting illegal chicken farm?

NEVER! The Emperor protects our barbecues!

Although if there's still pizza, it's no big deal.

That's just dumb (and flaming). Enjoy your cardiac infarction when it happens.

Because calling people carnivores when they are omnivores in an attempt to elicit predatorial imagery isn't flaming at all, but using an argument as to why wide spread vegeterianism would mean the extinction of several species is.

[Qazox]

So I guess we'll have to revert to Cannibalism then to get our meat fix.

I call dibs on the brains!

[Manahakatouki]

I'd be OK with that to be honest...

It wouldn't be much a switch from my current food eating habits...

There is no need for any of us to worry about this one bit. The human population after all is not evenly distributed around the globe. Rather as a rule the better living standards are in a nation the less its population grows over time. In other words, by the time our population reaches 9x10⁹ the world population will be even more canted toward poor or semi poor regions of the world (poorer bits of India and Asia, Africa etc.) And it's not like the first, or even second world looses any sleep over people out there starving today. And today we could solve their problem without a significant drop in living standards. So we people (people with a decent internet connection implying a generally 1st or 2nd world standard of living) have nothing to worry about even if human population reaches 20x10⁹. They do.

I can confirm that locusts are actually quite tasty.

And have been a healthy part of the human diet pretty much everywhere across the world other than Europe since before written history. Personally I always wanted to try roaches my self. But newer could find any good recipes for them.
