Presentation Day Cont.

We watched the final presentation today in class, and then we graded ourselves and our fellow group members. Everybody in my group did a really good job, so I gave them high scores.
We also talked about the pros and cons of cannibalism and how to solve world hunger.
Personally, I think cannibalism is unreliable. Humans weren't meant to eat other humans, so it's unhealthy and hard to digest. Also, while overpopulation and world hunger would both go down, quality of life worldwide would go down, which isn't better.
I've found a reliable solution, although some would find it controversial: worldwide veganism.
Studies show that around 90% of the world's crops go to feeding livestock, and the meat, eggs, and milk from that livestock only feeds a small percentage of the population. By cutting out the middle man and eating the crops we grow for livestock instead of the livestock itself, there'd be much less starvation in the world.
Im researching this now, and I've found that this is actually a really great solution to world hunger, the US' obesity epidemic, and pollution (most of the plastic in our oceans is from fishing gear.)
Unfortunately, many Americans (most of them probably being part of the obesity epidemic) refuse to give up animal products because it's what they're used to. In my opinion, this is cruel. Rich, overweight Americans and other people in first-world countries are letting others starve because of their own laziness and greed.
