38. Possibly, coffee is a luxury as is meat
Meat puts more stress on the ecosystem than does non meat food items. It's not necessary to eat meat, but it is necessary to eat, thus have vegetable crops. Vegetables do not stress nature in the way that consumed meat does.

If we didn't have agriculture, the country would starve. Not everyone owns their own land or has the room to grow their own food.

BTW, I don't drink Starbucks, I think their coffee sucks.
