约翰.罗彬斯的答复:
我想在下一个世纪,素食主义將会有所成长,因为它是如此的有效率。我们將看到在那个时候,会有饮水短缺与食物短缺的问题。相较于一个等量的资源(土地、饮水、能量、劳力---制造食物所需的所有必须因素)所能养活的肉食者人数,少于你能养活的素食者人数。饲养场里要让牛增加一磅的肉,需要用到16磅的谷物。然而制作一磅的面包或米,仅需一磅的谷物。
Patric,
I
think that in the next century, vegetarianism
will grow because it is so much more efficient.
We are going to see increasing water shortages,
and food shortages. You can feed many more people
a vegetarian diet with the same amount of food
resources (land, water, energy, human labor ---
all the inputs that make food production possible),
compared to the amount of people you can feed
a meat based diet using the same amount of resources.
It takes sixteen pounds of grain to make a single
pound of feedlot beef. It takes only one pound
of grain to make a pound of bread, or rice.
I
wish your efforts all the best, and yes, you can
translate what I've written and put it on your
website.
Thanks,
John
