Keep in mind this guy is the reason that the term “Moonbat” (as in “Moonbat Monbiot”) is used to describe far left eco-wackos.

It a better time, these sorts of intellectuals would just stop writing, shut up, and go away.

I find this a rather well reasoned mea culpa article from a guy who is predisposed to be a liberal moonbat. I’ve got to give him credit for writing it, given his general biases.

Kudos to him for admitting he was wrong.

I’d still argue with the basic premise of these guys though (ie. “how can we possibly produce enough food!?”).

There is simply no connection between starvation anywhere on the planet and our global ability to produce food.

Frankly, we’re generally awash in it.

The problem is money. Of course money comes from development and productivity, and therefore must be banned.

That “ecological cock-up” of feedlots are a direct result of federal regulation in the name of food and worker safety (unions again). Because of the hard work of federal regulators at the USDA we have neither.

You want quality meat produced and processed locally... get rid of the USDA. The government IS the problem.

Hey I went on a Vegan diet for a month and lost 30 lbs and by 6 weeks my cholesterol dropped 100 points.

Of course I had to fight the constant desire to scratch SUVs with my keys and cry at rainbows but I it actually changed the way I look at how I eat.

Didn’t the founder and longtime editor of Vegetarian Times magazine call a press conference a while back to announce that he was no longer a vegetarian? The veggie fascists went nuts over his heresy and savaged the poor schnook.

I love animals. They’re delicious.

A good article! It’s especially fun to hear a liberal eat his own words, 1,000-fold over.

Another interesting book written by a former vegetarian is THE VEGETARIAN MYTH by Lierre Keith. Vegans so hate her that they follow her around to disrupt her speaking engagements. I don’t agree with everything she says about modern agriculture, but it was eye-opening just how sick (literally) the vegetarian movement really is.
