Vegans
Vegetarianism is in vogue. And green is the preferred colour. Although the idea/movement is catching on / is a trend, only a thorough objective analysis will tell if it will stay/ last. The genesis of vegetarianism is rather vague, however the common perception is that it is the brainchild of animal rights activists. Food is for nutritional nourishment. It is a well known fact that a vegetarian diet struggles to provide a balanced diet containing the entire family of nutrients in the most digestible form. The nutrients – to – quantity of vegetables ratio is abysmally low. The very idea of vegetarianism is in itself not practical for the world; is based on loose fundamentals and a misplaced sense of activism for animals. Firstly, nature/ecosystem cannot accommodate an entirely vegetarian population. because it would result in mass encroachment of forest lands for agricultural use, deforestation, excessive use of fertilizers n pesticides and thereby soil degradation, greenhouse gases etc. fertilizer industry has a huge carbon footprint. Animal slaughter may be wrong, but by bringing them into our food cycle we are only ensuring their survival. While cattle n livestock have a carbon footprint, their contribution to global warming as a whole is insignificant. For the survival of all species, it is important for man to protect the delicate ecological balance that is inherent in nature.
