I'm really into utilitarianism lately, especially reducing suffering, and two big numbers have stood out: - An avg person eats ~3,500 animals/yr (including shrimp) - A human body has ~125,000 calories of edible tissue So you only have to eat six humans/yr to meet your calorie needs, assuming you're a good cook and don't waste too much. Maybe 5.5 with veggies and sauces. And this saves the lives of roughly 150,000 animals, assuming you can catch a 30-year-old. But even if you just prey on the old and infirm, you're still at bodhisattva levels of reducing suffering. Anyway, I've tallied up the units of suffering and the logic is unassailable. The single best thing you can do - for the climate, the environment and the end of suffering for all sentient beings - is to switch to an all homovore diet. I'm shopping for chest freezers right now and plan to phase out all animals by the end of the year. Who's with me?
