<p>Ultimately, I don't think vegetarianism is the solution to health, moral, or environmental problems. In some cases it's a misunderstanding of nutrition, in others a flawed sense of morality, and for some a noble (but futile) attempt to save humanity. In the end, I think that a much better philosophy to advocate (and much more realistic and with better probability to give good results) is community self-sufficiency. By relying on resources within your area for basic necessities, your community will be more sustainable: it cannot consume more than what nature can provide, plus less transport of produce across the globe and therefore using less gas, etc.; less dangerous to game population: by hunting animals in your area, your community will notice when the population is growing or shrinking and know whether you should be hunting more or less each year; and healthier: the diet will consist of plants and animals from your ecosystem, in proportions that are healthier, and it will promote exercise in order to grow/hunt the food you eat, as well as creating positive social interaction between community members while obtaining these foods.</p> <p>Ultimately, I don't think vegetarianism is the solution to health, moral, or environmental problems.

<p><i>September 15<sup>th</sup>, 2025, EDIT:</i> My opinions on this matter have developed over the last few years. Some of these points require better justification. I hope to develop this further in a future blog post that is more informed by some points made by a vegan who read this article in my blog and contacted me.</p>
