Overcome with insatiable greed, however, modern society blindly pillages the earth of valuable resources, and thus robs billions of people in developing countries of their God-given quota of food.
This statement is clearly corroborated by the fact that more than one-third of all grain produced in the world is being fed to cattle and other livestock. It appears, therefore, that the solution to world hunger lies beyond the boundaries of expensive and exhausting humanitarian solutions at the root issue: individuals and nations must honestly acknowledge, and then end, their selfish gluttony.
This is ridiculous and you know it. We still pay farmers to not grow food to keep prices up. People starve because of distribution of wealth, not because the world is incapable of growing enough food to feed the number of people it's holding. It's an lousy situation, to be sure, but an omnivore becoming a veggie isn't going to have any effect - if anything, there will just be more western farmers recieving subsidies. Also, the out of control birth rates in most 3rd world countries doesn't help, but the only thing that seems to slow that down in practice is getting up to a 1st world standard of living.

Also, you've been trolled.
