In reply to: chadi 's message, "hunter-gatherer means a gatherer who can occasionally hunt when food becomes scarce. But if food is available, he doesn't need to practice farming that drastically degrades the environment and consume 16 times more water than agriculture, if organic agriculture can provide more than the least required food." on 02:24:19 01/08/03 Wed

What you have have to decide is: are people more important than cows raised for food? -- Sister Bunny, 05:53:55 01/08/03 Wed

I'm confused. Are you saying that people should be vegetarians because they should have a nice environment to live in, or they should be meat-eaters because they're more important than cattle? (NT) -- Former Anti-Chadi, 21:22:16 01/09/03 Thu
