Unhealthy, but nutritious. Cruel, but delicious. The debate about the future of the planet’s carnivorous diet is very complex! (National Geographic) 

National Geographic (Portugal) published an article on feeding the world, the consumption of meats and cereals. It could be argued that, if Americans eat less beef, more grain would be available to hungry people in other latitudes. Using an economic model of the world food system, IFPRI researchers projected what would happen if the entire developed world halved its consumption of all types of meat – a change radical. Senior Research Fellow Emeritus, Mark Rosegrant stated, “The impact on food security in the least developed countries would be minimal. Corn and sorghum prices would go down, but the most important food cereals are wheat and rice. If Americans ate less beef, Iowa corn producers would not export wheat and rice to Africa and Asia.”
