I AM A TREASONOUS CARNIVORE!

.

Personally, I am pro-meat

.

(This is not one of my satire bits, I really am a carnivore!)

.

One of my favourite jokes is,

.

“I am an animal lover,"

"that is why I eat so many of them!”

.

My vegetarian Wife, as you can imagine, is unimpressed!

.

(The poor woman has put up with my crap jokes for years,)

.

But Logically,

.

When you realise how land-intensive meat production is,

(compared to plant-based production).

.

And that the Very Conservative estimate of exponential human population growth 1.2 every 20 years.

.

The Vegans of the world MUST “Win!”

.

This is without taking water resource used into consideration!

.

(PS: Note I said exponential growth, If you think 1.2 is merely a small number then get a math teacher to explain the concept of ‘exponential growth’ to you!)

.

The only other option is, some future,

.

‘Marvel Thanos Infinity War’ Type Tyrant in our future culling our population manually!

.

“When Good people Get Desperate then Bad Things Happen,”

.

.

.

Why 1.2 Exponential human population growth.

.

(Super conservative estimate! It is actually much higher than this!)

.

This is not just bad!

.

THIS!

Is VERY bad!

.

1.2 sounds like nothing.

1.2 sound pretty insignificant.

Most people would love to only have to pay 1.2 taxes!

Most people would have a riot if they only got a 1.2 pay raise!

But 1.2 as expediential growth it is actually a huge number!

.

.

So,

What is Exponential growth?

.

A Chinese Emperor once wanted and artists to produce a marvellous piece of work for him.

.

The artist produced an 8x8 chequered board and said,

.

I will be most honoured,

.

All I ask for in payment is a single grain of rice on the first square.

.

And for each day I work you double the number of grains each day until all the squares are used up.

.

The second day they Artist would receive 2 grains of rice,

.

On the third day, he got 4 grains of rice.

.

On the fourth day, he got 8 grains of rice.

.

An 8x8 Chequered bord contains,

.

64 squares.

.

By the 64th square, you get to an amount of rice that is far more than that has ever existed in the entire biological history of the earth!

.

And that artist became the richest man in ancient China,

.

(Other versions of the story have the Emperor simply assassinate the Artist for being a smart arse!)

.

1.2 every 20 years is similar.

VERY SIMILAR!

.

Count every 20 years as a single square on a chequered board.

.

But instead of 60 squares, you have an unlimited number extending into the future of the entire human race.

.

You are NOT simply adding 1.2 every 20 years!

.

You are multiplying by 1.2 every 20 years!

.

Even at the supper unrealistically low number of 1.2, you are looking at the human population doubling in only 60 years!

.

.

Why 1.2??

.

Based on the cliche of a household having 2.4 children.

.

That means individual adult if producing 1.2 children.

.

Most people have a second child around their early 20’s (ish).

.

.

Ahh, but people are dying all the time.

.

That only changes the math significantly if they died without ever having children.

.

Plus 1.2 is super unrealistically conservatively optimistic.

.

If you want to have nightmares then look the actual world population growth up yourself!!

.

.

.

.

...and now a very silly (RUDE & UNFUNNY) joke!!

.

.

.

.

Women DO NOT represent their husbands

Men DO NOT represent their wives...

.

.

Two people in a couple CAN have totally different views.

.

.

.

It is NOT the 1950's anymore!

.

.

.

.

You can now be in a couple but still, be individuals.

.

.

.

.

.

You are NOT ambassadors for each other anymore!

.

.

.

.

.

.

For instance, my wife is a Vegetarian...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And Me?

The meat-eater?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Well,

I happen to like Eating...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

...I happen to like Eating Out...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

...I happen to like Eating Out the pussies of Married Vegetarians..!

...That is...

.
