Prepare to Become a Vegetarian: Scientists Say Spare the Meat, Food Shortages & Water Scarcity Are Coming

The droughts of 2012 and a heavy fear of “overpopulation” have caused a few scientists to sound the alarm on the possibility of a global food crisis.
“Water scientists” warn that because of a scarcity of water and a depletion in global food supplies, we “may have to switch almost completely to a vegetarian diet over the next 40 years to avoid catastrophic shortages,” the Guardian reports.
About 20 percent of our diet comes from animal-based products, according to the report, and “water scientists” argue that that number needs to drop to five percent if we plan on feeding the 2 billion people expected in 2050.
“There will not be enough water available on current croplands to produce food for the expected 9 billion population in 2050 if we follow current trends and changes towards diets common in western nations,” a report by Malik Falkenmark and colleagues at the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) said.
“There will be just enough water if the proportion of animal-based foods is limited to 5% of total calories and considerable regional water deficits can be met by a … reliable system of food trade,” the report adds.
While these scientists issue their water warnings, the U.N. is preparing for a possible global food crisis, the second in five years. As mentioned earlier on TheBlaze, the U.S. droughts (as well as droughts in Russia) have caused the price of raw commodities to rise. And while this hasn’t necessarily affected the average American citizen, it has been unpleasant for the foreign countries that depend on U.S. output.
“Oxfam [a human rights group] has forecast that the price spike will have a devastating impact in developing countries that rely heavily on food imports, including parts of Latin America, North Africa and the Middle East. Food shortages in 2008 led to civil unrest in 28 countries,” the Guardian reports.
Scientists argue that that the West should adopt a vegetarian diet because it will spare the water necessary to grow more crops.
“Animal protein-rich food consumes five to 10 times more water than a vegetarian diet. One third of the world’s arable land is used to grow crops to feed animals. Other options to feed people include eliminating waste and increasing trade between countries in food surplus and those in deficit,” the report explains.
But — but — vegetarian?
“Nine hundred million people already go hungry and 2 billion people are malnourished in spite of the fact that per capita food production continues to increase,” the scientists say. “With 70% of all available water being in agriculture, growing more food to feed an additional 2 billion people by 2050 will place greater pressure on available water and land.”
The report will be brought before a body of world leaders, including 2,500 politicians, U.N. bodies, non-governmental groups, and researchers from 120 countries, who will then try to decide what’s best for everyone.
“We will need a new recipe to feed the world in the future,” said the report’s editor, Anders Jägerskog.

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 1:41pmSacredHonor1776- I’m pretty sure Glenn has just been saying IF that ever happens for some reason or another, personally(meaning lose your job) or a natural disaster or whatever, then it is good to be prepared. Let me know if I am mistaken but I know Glenn has talked about crops not being harvested b/c there are not enough “hands on deck” to help get everything done. Because there is a shortage of helpers in the field, a portion of the crop dies b/c it was not harvested in time. This doesn’t sound to me like a shortage of food, but a shortage of people willing to do the hard work of agriculture. I don’t know how to better explain it this.

“In other words, you’ll just stick your head in the sand until it all hopefully blows over.”
No, it’s irrational fear mongering. I think what Detroit Paperboy was referring to is that throughout our history we have had people like this who are so “in the box” when it comes to ideas and thinking that they get people all worked up over stuff like this. (overpopulation, food shortages, water shortages, etc)
There is nothing wrong with being prepared and looking ahead. But to say that we must change our entire way of culinary life, based on a far flung perceived threat, is absurd. Humankind has repeatedly proven throughout history that we can invent and manipulate our environment to survive. We will continue to do this and everything will be OK.
Food? As was pointed out by another, stop making fuel out of it. (that is a huge drain on certain crops) We can grow more food per acre now than we could even a couple decades ago when people were clamoring over stuff like this. Water? We know how to desalinize sea water into drinking water, and the last I checked (according to these same type of people) the oceans are rising.

“[By] 1995, the greenhouse effect would be desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots…[By 1996] The Platte River of Nebraska would be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers.”

“Second people have been hunter gatherers & then herders for hundreds of thousands of years. Are genetics is geared to meat consumption.”
True, but our ancestors ate far less meat then exists in the average Americans diet. We treat meat like the main course, when our ancestors used it like a condiment.

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 12:51pmThose of us with diabetes who are serious about “normalizing” our blood sugars, NEED MEAT-BASED proteins, not beans or other plant-based, carbohydrate dense protein sources!
A moderate portion of meat based protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs or dairy–whole milk, full fat cheeses), a double portion of leafy and other non-sugar vegetables, and a portion of healthy fats (butter, cream, etc.), and those berries that are low sugar, can almost normal blood sugar for type II diabetes and will significantly lower the amount of insulin needed for type I diabetics.
This is a more satiating way of eating, the carbohydrates are kept low (source of carbs is from the veggies), and the fat eaten keeps the ingested carbs from spiking quickly.
Beans and grains contain excessive carbs for the degree of nutrition they provide. We are becoming diabetics because of our grain-filled diet, not inspite of it!
See the teachings of Richard K. Bernstein, MD, 75 year-old, Type I diabetic who has eaten this way for over thirty-five years. Still practicing and healthy!

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 12:55pmThere is an abundant meat supply… Because if it gets as bad as the scientists, Glenn Beck, and others claim, people will resort to cannibalism!
Anyone seen The Road? or similar post apocalyptic futures?
Better hope you are prepared, if this comes to pass.

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 12:37pmNo thank you, I need protein. Don’t get me wrong I eat veggies but I like my meat too. God made us omnivours for a reason.

… you realize there are plenty of non-animal protein sources as well? Like soy, peanuts, beans, etc…

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 5:17pmYeah Locked.. and that is why so many vegans I know have more health problems than most of the 10 big mac a day eaten fools…. I agree people need to eat more veggies and less meat, but the sources you listed are only good for short term. You body demands certain complex proteins that can only come from meat/animals (or can only be produced from molecules gleaned from eating meat). I am not going to insult you for your opinion, but all you have to do is look at base biology to see you were designed to consume meat in addition to veggies.

git-r-done – don’t be a fool. it’s not about controlling you – it’s about living sustainably. man didn’t evolve eating meat three times a day. half of our country is fat cows. are you?

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 12:36pmYep and we are burning corn for ethanol, what a waste, the whole ethanol thing is a waste, even Al Gore admitted that he did it, not becasue it was environmentally friendly, but to help the corn farmers in his home state of Tenn. The whole ethanol thing is a political crock !
