the fact is it takes 5 times the area of land to produce one kg of meat protien versus 1kg of vegetable protien. In a world where the oil is running out yet the population has exploded to around 7 billion, Efficient land use and food production will become an increasingly important issue. Studies have indicated that without any fossil fuels, the arable land of the world and manual farming methods can only support around 2 billion people and even then can likely only do so if we maintain a strict vegan diet and compost absolutely everything possible including even the bodies of the dead!!

Large concentrated factory pig farms run by huge corporate entities such as the one owned by smithfield foods in mexico are essentially virus amplification and diversification laboratories. The pigs are fed a constant diet of antibiotics to keep them alive in the terrible conditions resulting in the release of bacterial organisms that are resistant to most of our available antibiotics.
Previously this recipe for disaster resulted in the outbreak of swine flu. Next time it might not be such a mild pandemic if mixed in with bird flu elements..

Selfish pragmatism dictates that you should just give up meat. Even if you don't give a shit about cruelty or care about any species but human beings. ( Of course any sentient non sociopath would also have to add the horrific systematic cruelty element as a major factor in the equation!!)
