If everyone became vegan?

The Earth would be overrun with animals that humans eat. And human evolution would start to go backwards as people become gradually weaker and sicker, both physically and mentally.

Most cults use vegetarianism to help create a chemical imbalance in people's brains that makes them easier to "brainwash". You need the proteins in meats to help your brain cells work properly.

factory farming isn't helping the environment in any way. if everyone became a vegan we would cutting down the rain forest for land for cattle and crops to feed the, waste from animals would stop polluting the water as much, gases emitted but animals would go down and we cloud use the food and water we used to feed animals to give to other people.

For some reason people seem to think that animals would overpopulate the earth if we didn't kill them but we're the one's that are breeding them (they're too sick to do it themselves. besides it more efficient if we did it.). even if that were true, a population doesn't keep on growing and growing. when it gets too big there is a decrease as there are limited resources. That is how it happens in nature.

Good question. There was a time when the Earth was populated by much fewer humans, and those - even though they hunted - couldn't have made a big impact on the eco system one way or another. I'd say the Earth would survive even without us eating meat and/or animal products.

These animals are not a part of an ecosystem. They are a part of a factory. It would honestly have no negative effect on ecosystems. It may actually help them, tremendously.

It would actually be a positive thing. If you look at our closest evolutionary relatives, they eat insects and plants. That is actually our proper diet. I know there are a lot of cultures on the planet that do eat insects, but I can't get past the gross out part of that. It would actually be better for our health and the environment if we stopped these factory farms and ate locally grown plants and veggies. And we would be healthier if we ate bugs, but again, can't do it.

edit: lol, yea this one is not that progressive. I don't think I could handle something trying to escape as I was eating it...

There wouldn't be too many if we stopped killing them, if we also stopped "producing" them all the time. We MAKE them. Then we say we have to kill them so there wouldn't be too many? Priceless, absolutely priceless how ridiculously brainwashed people are these days.

We destroyed the balance in nature, and now we use it as an excuse to keep doing it, because stopping would "destroy it even more". Please.

^Cliff is an idiot who's been trolling here all night.

But you can't assume if everyone went vegan that it would happen overnight because it wouldn't. People would go vegan one person at a time until there were fewer and fewer food animals produced. If all our domestic food animal species stopped breeding and died out, it would have no negative consequence on the ecosystem because they were never part of the ecosystem in the first place.

Added: A good point was made about the bugs too ... maybe if we ate them instead of killing them as pests? I used to eat grasshoppers and crickets before going vegan and they were quite good.

We would have to use more fossil fuels to transport all them grains, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and fruits, as most are not grown locally in most places, so no, it would not help the eco-system.

btw, its affect not effect.

There's a rather convincing argument that such a scenario would mean the end of world hunger.

Aside from the obvious changes one thing I think would happen is a drop in the weird diseases people are getting. A LOT of diseases are from contact with food animals. Anthrax, Ecoli, H1N1, bird flu, maybe even hiv.

It wouldn't be possible. Too many humans on the planet to grow enough food for everyone. Just listen to the ethanol debate on making it the main fuel source. If it wasn't for modern agricultural technology we wouldn't be able to keep up with the omnivore society.
