Ah, yes... beautiful. Control of the unwashed by those who know best. A wonderful philosophy. History. It's really cool. Check it out. When the few make decisions for and control the many, it never ends well.
I know.. that was incredibly condescending and snarky, which is rarely my style, and is far from being kind. However, it was my honest gut reaction to asserting that any human has the right to legislate how many kids a family may have.
We should be good stewards of our environment, locally and globally. There is no question there. We should not take pleasure in suffering, whether animal or human. We can do better in all aspects of our lives, including decreasing the environmental impact (whether or not it's as dire as you suggest.... and it isn't) of farming animals for food, and treating the animals raised for food more humanely. Suggesting that we need to ABANDON eating meat because we are destroying the planet by doing so is just... well.... wrong on so many levels.
You believe what you wish, and live as you wish. Again, I have no issue with that. I take GREAT issue with the condescending attitude that you are correct and that those who disagree are wrong.
