Whole Foods Market / Boycott

From cheese to vegetarianism. From an animal welfare point of view there is no real sense in being a vegetarian. If you consume dairy then you are responsible for the deaths of countless calfs which are required to keep the cows milking. Vegetarian cheese is a red herring. If you going to kill the calf anyway surely it's more sustainible to use it's stomach to make the rennet rather than just burn it and make synthesised rennet.
Vegan's my respect goes out to you, it's a pure stance and one which makes more sense than veggie.
But, In certain geographical/topographical conditions you might find it quite hard to survive. As such the vegan v meat eater argument for sustaining a world population is a false on. In the temperate zones where arable land is the most productive then veganism (is that the right word) makes sense but an inuit can derive greater energy from his/her environment than he would be able to as a vegan by eating other animals. Is it a coincidence that the vegetarian religions are found where grain is most plentiful?
That'll do for now. Oh, by the way, I sell dairy, just declaring my interest.

I'm a vegan (wherever humanly possible :D) and I never really understand the 'what if' stuff. Of course if I was in a load of snow or on a desert island or something I'd do whatever I needed to survive. As do the people who do, no doubt. But, you know, I don't need to eat animal produce. So I don't.
