Which details? Eg. that you overlooked the fact that food production for animals in these underground bunkers would be an almost closed system? Hence the need for fresh water would be much lower than in the current system.
When you said my numbers were not quite right, you were referring to the numbers I stated for water usage. That is what I was replying to. Then you went off on your SF musing.
Don't you read your own thread?
Yep. Don`t you read the OP of threads you join? You began going off on the "something has to die" tangent. It was clearly stated this thread is about the
environment as it pertained to vegetarianism.
If you want to talk about killing cauliflower or brocali in leiu of animals, or go off again on a reductionist argument, then make a thread for that or discuss it on the threads where that has been a focal point of discussion.
That's what I answered to. & what nice_gaijin wrote is not a necessity, but depends on the agrarian system.
Yes, I know. The plan with animals in the underground bunkers. <snicker>
It isn't? Oh my. Why then did you muse about Mars? Why not just ignore the point?
I guess I am not immuned to getting pulled off.
I address what others write, whether it is directly related to the thread title, or not. If the discussion drifts too far away, we can always split the thread. If you want to dictate what others write on your threads, you could always open your own forum, where you make the rules.
How do you know I don`t have my forum? I will leave you to guess.
But anyway, did you make this forum? Don`t think you did. But, FYI here is one of the rules for you to review:
STAY ON TOPIC:
Avoid posting messages that are out of context or irrelevant to a topic.
Keep the discussion on the
environment, please, -- like the OP sets up the discussion for.
What makes it so personal if I address this statement? But, if you like, I rephrase my question:
Does the above mean that you think, nothing that needs to be killed for consumption should be eaten, like eg. cauliflower or broccoli?
"Should" is implying or insinuating morals or right/wrong as it goes to taking life for consumption. This thread is not about the morals of killing animals or plant life for that matter. If you want to talk about the morals of killing plant life create a thread for it. If you want to talk about the morals of killing animals for consumption, visit one of the threads that already has an active discussion on that.
The topic here is the environment and the thread was created to focus specifically on that.
