See?!That is how cult Buddhism has become!Value animals more
than human beings.TS should google starvation.
Yes, you are right about starvation, you should also google what
causes starvation. All the grains which are supposed to
feed the global poor are diverted to feeding animals for
humans' consumption. That is how starvation comes about.
By being a vegan, you are helping to ease global starvation.
Buddha has the wisdom which many people like you and I do not
have, that is why you think by eating animals you are easing
starvation. The fact is by eating animals you are causing
starvation.

regarding the food shortages crisis and the issue of feeding the
growing world population, the following was published:
VEG, NO MEAT: We can feed the world but we will have to change our
food habits. Tens of billions of animals are raised for food every
year but the grains fed to them could feed billions more people
than the meat does. In a thirsty world a huge amount of water is
used in raising these animals. Add to this the biofuel that is
consuming the food that sustains humans and we have a recipe for
disaster. A return to a vegetarian and vegan diet would take off
some of the pressure.
