and could it be economicly feasible to do in a way that people would rather have it than killed food.

im not saying eat rocks ands dirt only protein in a different form we could make it look and taste like anything we wanted with out causing harm to animal or plant animal populations can still be managed people can still have fun food supply can be monitored for quality and continuaty and there might even be money left over in the budget to help people with negative past life expireances

yes it is natural to eat but what we eat is allways a choice on the the bassis of whats available and what we are familiar with and what we like.

and if i could get a really tasty thick juicy animal protein burger on the dollar menu it certainly wouldnt hurt my life any.and if i could teach others how to get one also that would be charitable

true diversity is key to survivle as a whole as is moderation to well being and quality of life.most of us get to enjoy our fredom of choice in the foods we eat and there is certainly no harm in having more choices if a safe and ample supply is being offerd besides foods are good buisness

No it wouldn't, animals would overpopulate, and we'd end up killing them just the same. Look at how many stray animals are killed in the pounds each year just to keep them from running rampant. Ever hit a deer with your car or see a dead deer on the road? Think how many more deer there would be splatted on the road if it wasn't for hunters.
Besides, meat is yummy =)

No, because in an enclosed system you have to kill something in order to survive. Either you're going to kill them or their population growth will kill you both when an opportunistic disease takes over or they eat all of your food.
No, because its fun & people who don't enjoy killing animals have a twisted sense of reality where their self consciousness has overtaken their sense of self. Losing sight of the fact that you're an animal is bad. Its like wishing there was no water & lots of land to frolick on... It may be a fun vision in your head, but its stupid to everyone else. Its not something to idealize.
No, because I think eating rocks and dirt would be crappy. We would have to develop stone faces that would make it hard to kiss.
It would be cool to photosynthesize in the short term. It would not be a good property to have when the sun blows up & we need to move to another planet. Its not a good strategy.
No, because killing is part of all life. Every type of animal consumes something else living. If we would cease to consume other animals & plants, I guarantee you there will be another animal that doesn't have a moral dillema making us its prey. Being prey sucks.
Edit: I do not believe an artificial means for consuming protein would be wise. Genetic diversity is key to organic life's ability to survive. We would be opened up to a wipeout when something comes along to destroy that genetic strain. Take for example the frankenfoods being pushed to poor african nations. They are not a sustainable source of food becuase of the lack of genetic diversity. The corn will sustain a large population until something like a bug comes along that will eat that genetic strain. Contrast that with the 40 or so genetic species of corn that grow in countries like afghanistan. They don't have a large supply, but there will never be one catastrophic event that will affect all naturally occuring morphs of the food. The same process would have to be employed for artificial hybridization that you suggest. It would be cool if we could do it, but realistically, there would be only a few strains that would support the specific mutation you suggest.

It would be nice, but even if you're a vegetarian, you're still killing plants to get salad and vegetables and food like that. So it depends on how you look at it because no matter what, the act of eating something is the act of killing it.

It's idealistic, but the reality of the world as we know it is that the nature of nature is to kill lower forms to survive. Man can survive by being a vegetarian, but he has to kill plants to do it. Besides, I have yet to see a healthy looking vegetarian, especially men who look like wet limp noodles. We have canine teeth, so man must have been a man eating species early on. In other words, it's natural and part of our nature for us to tear and eat meat.
Oh, go tell the Eskimos to eat their vegetables instead of their meat. Fresh, right from the Artic garden.

Wouldn't it be nice if people had something more to do with their life than becoming vegans?
Wouldn't it be nice if people actually did something instead of mourning for carrots?
Wouldn't it be nice if everybody had something to eat instead of some people dying of hunger whilst other people have so much food, so much time and so little worries that they become detached from reality and start feeling sorry for a banana?
