From plastics made from feather protein to diesel fuel made from fat to organic fertilizer made from poultry litter, the USA's top meat producers are developing new uses and markets for the animal parts that humans won't eat, says Tom Cook, president of the National Renderers Association in Alexandria, Va.

This may take time and maybe lifetimes to build up to that tipping point, but we have to use everyone and every resource we can. Is a vegan's efforts at advocacy worth more than a vegetarian's or even a meat eater's if they happen to agree on the same issue? I do think that there is a real elitism in the movement, however.

If you've ever wondered why I have a clinical view of the meat industry, it's because I worked for three years in the accounting department of a very large shrimp importer that also sold finfish, shellfish and value-added products (ie. I was afraid of this. frozen seafoods with sauces, etc.) Factory farming does not only happen on land.

The quail, guans, ducks and pheasant are hunted for their meat. The very least that one could do is opt to have only one child, which will minimize the pressures and demands on the natural resource base. In the Far East they keep birds of prey which they use to capture other animals such as foxes and rabbits. It is quite simple.

The Botai did not just herd horses for meat. As humans tend to do, early ones looked around them and saw everything and everyone as resources for their use. The site was where northern Kazakhstan is now, the culture was called Botai and the date was around 3500 B.C.

But with so many other topics to cover, such as water and oil, that message that happy meat is acceptable doesn't even get any airtime.

The meat industry loves to squeal that “the cost of bacon will rise” whenever it’s faced with pressure to change. In addition, producing more meat worsens worldwide hunger and food insecurity by dedicating precious farmland and water resources to the production of animal feed.

There was no meaningful discussion about our inefficient use of resources (grain and water) in the feeding of animals to kill to feed people. And the wife says that one thing the family does is eat less meat and eggs (and they raise the animals on their land), but even that is glossed over. But they dismiss food.

I long for the realistic hope that one second will pass without torture and slaughter and enslavement, and I know perfectly well that that second, despite Earth Days and Earth Hours and Meat-Free Days, isn't going to happen. I rescue, I adopt, I do TNR, and I connect others to resources to do the same. People are simply too selfish.

The fact that geese mate for life, and that the mate of the poor goose that was slaughtered would step forward, was enough to make me swear off meat forever, if I hadn’t already. But one consequence that Mr. Kristof doesn’t note is that meat prices would certainly be substantially higher.

The Rhinoceros Hornbill is the state bird of the Malaysian state of Sarawak ( source ), which unfortunately does not prevent hunting of the bird, not only for meat but also for the feathers. This behavior is likely to reduce resource competition by exploiting fruit that is too large for smaller frugivores.

There are self-interested, health-based reasons to go vegetarian: The major killers of Americans--heart disease, cancer, and stroke--are all strongly positively correlated with meat consumption. Plant-based diets significantly reduce one risk of these chronic degenerative diseases. Why not try it for yourself for 21 days?

The elimination of vultures had its own knock on effects, such as the increase in feral dogs (now that there was more meat available for them) and corresponding increase in rabies. That doesn’t translate into action if the money and resources aren’t there to act on such ideas.

Consequently, one ought not to eat meat until actual practice is changed. The question that must be raised, however, is how the conclusion not to eat meat follows from this. So, if one wants to change the present practice, the best means is to stop eating meat. Consequently, one ought not to eat meat. milk production.

One paper – describing research conveniently done at the university campus of Chittagong University, presumably close to the canteen – looks at resource partitioning between this bee-eater and another one, the chestnut-headed bee-eater. So, basically, the two species do exactly the same things.
