Would you give up meat to feed others?改變飲食改變飲食人口增長(zhǎng)并不是造成糧食短缺的唯一原因。我們的飲食（習(xí)慣）也難辭其咎。現(xiàn)在，越來(lái)越多的人居住在城市，人們吃肉越來(lái)越多。為了生產(chǎn)肉類(lèi)，我們必須用更多的土地和水，以種植喂養(yǎng)動(dòng)物的糧食。加工肉類(lèi)也要消耗更多的能源。結(jié)果是，我們使用了更多的土地和資源，卻生產(chǎn)出了更少的食物。如果每個(gè)人都變成素食者，我們就能輕松養(yǎng)活不斷增長(zhǎng)的人口。但誰(shuí)愿意作出這種改變呢？你愿意放棄吃肉來(lái)養(yǎng)活別人嗎？Feeding the World 譯譯文文G
