| 56. The average American's coffee consumption requires lots of land |

Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 03:38 PM by HereSince1628
On edit: changed my title because I couldn't point to a website source for the average acres required for coffee.
The idea that vegetarianism is environmentally friendly doesn't work for me.
By definition, having a "top" omnivore (like humans) eating on the lowest level of the food pyramid energy is diverted that could support the top of the food pyramid. There are not other consumers eating us, at least in significcant numbers.
Just considering vegetarianism, expanding human population would still require increased diversion of energy flow out of natural systems and habitat destruction which dooms higher order consumers and herbivore competitors.
Civilization requires fixed place agriculture, fixed place agriculture isn't environmentally friendly particularly when it is support 5-7 billion people.
