![]() "pearl" wrote in message ... "Jim Webster" wrote in message ... "pearl" wrote in message ... except that they are still eating more and more meat Some are. Others, many millions, are starving because land that had supported them sustainably for generations was expropriated by and for a meat-eating 'wealthy elite'. You ignore it, because -you- 'profit'. sure, and explain how I profit out of meat production in china? I didn't say that you profited from meat production in China. '.. two-thirds of all soybeans and meal imported into the UK came from Brazil, the primary source of non GM soy in the world. .. http://www.pgeconomics.co.uk/pdf/PGE...ments.01.p df 'In Central and South America, ever-increasing amounts of land are being used to grow soya beans and grain for export - to be used as animal feed. In Brazil, 23 per cent of the cultivated land is currently being used to produced soya beans, of which nearly half are for export (13). The Oxfam Poverty Report explains that the subsidised expansion of the EU's dairy and livestock industry has created a huge demand for high protein animal feedstuffs and that the demand has in part been met through the expansion of large-scale, mechanised soya production in Brazil. Smallholder producers of beans and staple foods in the southern part of the country have been displaced to make way for giant soya estates. Soya has now become the country's major agricultural export, "however, it is a trading arrangement which had proved considerably more efficient at feeding European cattle than with maintaining the livelihoods of poor Brazilians." (16) ..' http://www.viva.org.uk/guides/feedtheworld.htm And I hardly think the Chinese shopper who buys a live chicken and takes it home and wrings the neck of the animal themselves is going to worry about whether it was killed in a heartless and industrialised fashion These people are eating more meat, Chinese government planners are ensuring that they have the output to supply people what they want Chinese planners are worried. You posted the following on 09 January, (it's from: http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=35910 ). exactly, and they are worried that they will not be able to provide them with enough meat, so are making sure they can By abandoning an alternative fuel, and increasing imports of grain? Grain from where? See what you snipped. What you've ignored. they aren't worried about a long of whinging westerners, if they want a bizarre ideology they already have one, they don't need yours What "bizarre ideology" do I have? A healthy diet? Food for all? Recovering and thriving wildlife and ecosystems? Oh, excuse me! Why do you morons keep crossposting this rubbish? |
