If only those one million people in Sudan, who are currently starving to
death, would just stop struggling ........

Like energy.

Quite possibly. But we are completely incapable of extracting it, due to the
conversion inefficiency. Depending on the terrain, it may take several square
miles to support one human for a year.

It doesn't add calories to food. It enables you to eat things you can't eat
raw.

Food supply is always the limiting factor.

Depends on the final outcome, as yet unknown.

Yes. Although it may not be good for the individual.

Abolishing farming would mean abolishing most of the six billion humans on the
planet. How does that fit in with your holistic approach ?
> how do you know? have you ever eaten raw to compare .?
I eat raw as often as I can, although most of the commercially produced meat I
have available to me I have to cook.
> even if for doing so you have to hold on tight on your arogance .?
You'd rather die than be arrogant ? I find this hard to believe.
