Sokullu’s Argument

The nutrition habitudes change. Most vegeterians do it because of their philosophical believes; they know how precious a life (you name it; soul or intelligence) is and they don't want to kill animals. Our technology allows us to stay alive without eating animals; we can produce vegeterian meals that taste almost exactly like beef, and with exactly the same nutritive (vitamines, proteins etc) composition as naturals.

In time, we'll understand that killing animals for nutrition is no different than slavery or colonization. We'll be ashamed of our past.

The next step of this will be to become autotrophic. We'll figure out that killing plants is also a sin! And as our technology allows it, we'll start injecting chlorophylles into our body and just like plants, we'll start producing our energy by ourselves and working with the solar power. This will allow us to stay alive without killing any living and this will be very cool! If no one does, be sure I will!!!

no chance

That is the worst idea I have ever heard. Killing things for consumption is not a sin, there is no such thing as a sin because that view of the world is so primitive. I am not a god-fearing person because there is no god to fear. If you have not already figured it out, everything is everything. Take a look at some Buddhist scripture. We will always eat delicious food because thats the kind of culture we have. People love to eat and that will never change, no matter how much technology we have. Sorry to burst your bubble.

This is ridiculous. Everything we eat is life. Plants and animals aren't very different from each other, that is where vegetarians get corrected.

To hard to win

The prediction is too vague. It doesn't stipulate that the autotroph must live for any length of time. I could fast tomorrow and claim for that day I produced my own food. But I still disagree with the intent of Sokullu's argument, I don't believe in a hundred years we will develop the technology to support human substance without food.

Media outlets didn't sensationalize the story? In the United States it was on most channels constantly even though there had been less than 20 confirmed deaths or cases, and details were never given whether or not there were other factors involved. This story was as sensationalized as you could get, given the fact that there are more deaths in this country due to our open Southwestern borders on a monthly basis than there was due to he swine flu. And I guess unless you lived on a U.S. border in a border state you would have absolutely no concept of what is actually going on there. And they do quarantine animals in England for over 12 months in order to protect the animal populations there. What a spin. Do you happen to work for the mainstream media?see online :
