if humans still hunted for food

what if we didnt have the shops etc... we have now what if we had to catch kill ad prepare are food (excluding the vegies)would you have more respect for food and would this world be as wastefull as it is i dont thinks so?

your views plz..

As a rule I like to think I only eat what I am happy to kill.


If I dont think I could kill it myself then I dont eat it. As long as its done humanly and as less stressful for the animal as possible

I think we'd all learn "kill what you need" and "don't kill it unless you're gonna eat it". We'd also learn to be thankful for what we get, since if you had to hunt for your food you'd actually appriciate the animal you've killed, and it would be much harder to get food then just nipping down to the local store and getting a ready-slaughtered cow or something. And we'd waste less

If i lived by that rule, all i would be eating is bugs

theres a burst of flavour in each one

my thaughts exactly

if humans still hunted for food..... There would be alot of hungry people!

I've thought about this before too, Maxi..
and honestly, if I had to kill it, (aside from fish), I know I never could. So therefore, I would live on fish, and veggies

that would be a more healthy diet wouldnt you miss other meat?

I'd miss only chicken, which I love.
I know you said meat, and chicken is fowl, but I just couldn't kill the poor little things after seeing their eyes..I'd have night mares!!!

Chicken is still meat... so is fish for that matter

my mum used to do that for a living choping there heads of

Yeah, but the fish seem to be more without "emotion", lacking expression in their eyes..that I think, would make it easier..
if not, I'd be a vegetarian
Okay Kit? Satisfied? 8)

You are talking about the hollistic approach which is what river cottage chef hugh fearnley whittingstall is trying to get across to people, that we will have greater respect for the animal and use all availiable parts rather than waste it.

I actually like this idea. It is inpractical for most families who have to live from the happy shopper or farm stores brands because they havent enough cash.

But in principal, i think i could probably only kill poultry. I seriously doubt i could kill a cow, pig or sheep. I would probably be able to shoot a rabbit.

I do think that hunger plays a big part in human nature and faced with hunger a lot of people will suprise themselves with the animal instincts they had no idea they had.

Although i cannot see myself with a gun against the head of a lamb, i would imagine after a certain period the doe eyes and cuteness will not affect me in the same way with an empty stomach.

NO!

Fish have families and they get married and... and... they have babies and love them! It said so in Finding Nemo!
