Vegetarianism ...

Lorne suggested that if everyone turned vegetarian / vegan that this would
take all the grazing pressure of the native habitat.

However, we would then clear the land for all the extra crops that would be
required, and much of this would then be irrigated.  We would be replacing
one set of problems with another.

I find many more birds, reptiles, etc in the pastoral country than I do in
the agricultural areas.
