One constant we can count on for the near future is worldwide human population growth. It is projected that by the year 2015, there will be seven billion people on earth. With more stomachs to feed, we will need better methods of food production and distribution so that we can minimize the number of God's children who go hungry. God loves vegetarians because they utilize food that has been produced more efficiently. Incredible waste is incurred in the production of livestock when compared to the production of non-meat nourishment. Vegetarians not only refuse to participate in the slaughter of the members of God's creation, but they help reduce human suffering by supporting more efficiency in food production.
