what do you think the would be the effect if all humans became vegaterians?

Answer 1

Over run by cows and pigs, we might lose our domination to them. We must eat them.

Answer 2

Industries that rear animals for consumption and those that process meat products would go out of business. This would lead to significant global unemployment. It would also affect conutries as they would earn less revenue, this could affect social programmes, welfare, education etc.

However since there would have to be an increase in production of vegetarian foods, both in agriculture/farming) and in processing products/by-products, there wouuld be more jobs generated. This could ease the unemploment situation.

However from an environment view point, this would put considerably more pressure on land resources, with a huge jump in demand for arable land. This could lead to clearing of forests etc and deforestation causes flooding, lanslides, poor water quality, marine pollution and could play a role in climate change. If agriculture is not well-managed the land could degrade and desertification could result. This means less land for farming and starvation in some areas. The demand on water would also jump, with bad implications for meeting domestic water demands, sanitation, etc. All of this would come together to create and/or exacerbate conflicts/wars.

There is a plus side to everything. Such a move could trigger research in to high yeild strains of food crops, super-efficient farming methods, innovative farming methods and irrigation technologies that could solve a lot of these problems.

Answer 3

well it would change the businesses and livelihoods of a lot of folks who make their living by ranching, raising chickens, turkeys, hogs, etc and all the people who make their living at those processing plants, truck drivers, bbq joints etc. And all the accountants that keep track of it etc. But new jobs would be created in growing, transporting, etc. veggie foods. I think it would be a really good thing in the long run. I hope for it. It uses less resources than eating animals. However I think it's unlikely because humans have been eating animals for thousands of years. It's a big shift and we are no where close.

Answer 4

it depends on the distance from you ,speed and size lets say you looking at a comet its not blured but its moving very fast but it you was only 30 feet from it when it pasted the comet would be a blur because it was so big but if it were small like a bullet it would be invisible I'm not sure what the limit that the human brain can perceive images but there got to be a limit im think a type of frame per second limit if the bullet can get threw your fram of sight before your brain can pic it up im sure it leaves it out ,just my thoughts i might be wrong

Answer 5

People would live longer and healthier, for sure. There would be much less obeisity. Land that is currently used to farm animals would become land for produce. We'd probably have an excess here in the States, so we could export it, hopefully to places that need it most. I think the world would be a better place.

Answer 6

There would be a huge increase in the gap in the ozone layer.
Herbivorous animals such as cattle, produce methane when they pass wind, and methane is one of (if not the) worst things for destroying ozone. Presumably, what applies to four-footed animals must also apply to two-footed ones, so the consequence of the whole human population continually farting methane would be to dramatically worsen the greenhouse effect .
Pass the fillet steak !

Answer 7

Certain types of domestic animals would become extinct as they have no capabilities of their own defense (especially cows). Herd animals like deer would be even more a pest as their numbers would not be regulated by hunting.

There would be more forests stripped in order to grow more soybeans and crops as there are too many people in this world already for an total agricultural society.

We didn't evolve to be lowered on the food chain.

Answer 8

People would live longer. Vegetarians have like a third of the rates of heard disease and cholesterol level as meat eaters. But then again, the animal population would probably be outta control.

Answer 9

A much healthier, better world.

Overpopulation of domestic animals? Ha, that's ignorant omnivores for ya...do you realize how many animals are brought into the world JUST for human consumption? Billions. The number of domestic animals would decline if humans stopped breeding them for their meat, milk, and eggs.

Answer 10

there would be lot of stray animals in the world.. ha ha.. but that can be controlled. The brighter side is the longevity of human life with decreased obesity & cardio vascular diseases. Animal killing like any killing is cruel, we have to realise that & stop it. Respect life: it is precious.

Answer 11

Number one; never going to happen, humans have forward facing eyes, which mark us as predators, and incisors (pointy teeth) designed to tear meat, despite what anyone tells you, we are meat eaters, it's how God designed us, ang no, veggie burgers DO NOT taste the same as real beef. Besides, what would we do with all these cows that we've spent centuries breeding to make them to stupid to live on their own?
