You're an idiot. Meat is not a vital source of food, its a vital source of proteins. It is not the only way, there are THOUSANDS of ways to receive proteins other that eating red meat and chicken. Don't forget you still have fish, nuts, and tons of other ways to get the daily source of proteins. So krn get your facts straight before making such an idiotic post.
And no, I'm not a vegetarian, but I know of plenty of people who are.
As to the shortages, wow, looks like it won't be long before the whole battle of the fittest ordeal comes if we get more idiotic politicians.
