Food shortages could force world into vegetarianism, warn scientists

[longship]

51. Where I live, omnivorous living is sustainable.

There are far, far more white tail deer and wild turkeys here than the relatively small population could devour, even if that was all the meat we ate. Hunting is everywhere, often year round, under the table -- most likely to put food on the table.

Thousands of deer are killed by autos on the numerous rural two lanes here, many unpaved. In my county there is nothing but two lane roads, except for one four lane divided. Few on that highway exit in this county.

So, we would be self-sufficient omnivores here with truly range raised, and all natural. It is a more or less way of life here, in an area which has been grieviously impacted by economic conditions.

Posted just to provide perspective to this thread. And yes, there are veggie gardens everywhere as well. After all, this is really rural.
