FINAL THOUGHTS

Excerpt Chapter 13:
FINAL THOUGHTS

An Idealistic Theory

I have an idealistic theory: There are 6.5 billion people in the world. Each day each person learns something worthwhile. That means that each day the world as a whole gains 6.5 billion person-days of maturity and wisdom about how to live. I dream of waking up some morning to headlines that say:

World Reaches State of Enlightenment

War and Crime Disappear

Sales of Meat, Milk, Eggs Drop to Zero

Wait a minute—a news flash! NASA says a plant-based diet is the diet of space: Astronauts living in a long-term, self-sustaining space station or space colony will have to eat a plant-based diet. In a small space, there will be no way to grow farm animals, deal with animal diseases, and dispose of the poop. Maybe NASA is taking notes from the plant-based diet of the mythological starship Enterprise where replicators make all the food—out of pure energy. I assume there eventually will come a time when more humans will live out in space than here on Terra. That means that someday a plant-based diet will be the diet of a majority of humans.

The plant-based diet was the diet of the past, and it someday will be the diet of the future.
