Vegetarian

Vegetarian

Let me set the disclaimer first.
I love meat. Hamburger, hot dogs,
chickens, fish, turkey, well you get the idea.

But if the idea of e-coli in the meat keeps
up and if the pump up shots for quick growth,
and the possible side effects on humans
keeps coming.. well, it makes you start to look
at exactly what are you eating. Being most of
us don't raise our own anymore.

So we feed (no pun intended) into the idea that
being a vegetarian is the way to go, what would
happen if we ALL became vegetarians. Worldwide.

First would be the lost of cattle ranches, as I doubt
they would raise them for pets. Same for pig farms,
and chicken farms.

Then there is the feed stores for all of those animals
we are no longer eating, so no longer needed, so don't
need the feed. So down the tubes goes the feed ranches.

Next up is the butchers and slaughter houses. The trucking
companies will see a decline in their need. Fast Foods will
have to down grade their grills and etc.

Next would be the Fish and Game money. As there would
be no need for license and tags for deer, elk, and bears and
the rest. No ducks, turkey, pheasant and other bird hunting.
As there is no way the public is going to let the hunting go
on for just the trophy hunting.

Up next is all the leather products. No jackets, belts, and
all the other things that are made out of animal hides and
other byproducts.

I suppose some ranches could raise cows, pigs, sheep and
etc. for pets or maybe like a zoo of domestic animals. Kind
of a gentlemen's ranching. Would their be retirement ranches
for animals?

And what happens to the fishermen? The whole fishing fleet?
Crab trappers and lobster trappers. And all the little business,
that they support. Marina's and etc.

These are just what is on the top of my head, of the side effects of
everyone becoming a vegetarians. Sorry guys, I have to help
support all these people out of work because of it, so I will
keep buying my hamburg, chicken, and fish. Some one pass
the butter for my lobster.
