Heat production requires relatively more hand than crop production. some people think that as land is becoming scarce, the world's nay consumption should be reduced. What measures could be taken to reduce the world's meat consumption? What kinds of problem might such measures cause?

There has been a conflict as to what measures can come into account to decline world’s meat consumption due to lands being used for meat production. In my point of view, encouraging people to consume vegetables rather than meat could be a way, while it can lead to some problems such as scarcity of some nutrients needed for body. In terms of the measures to be taken into account, spurring people to be vegetarian through advertising or enacting some laws can be mentioned. For instance, negative consequences of eating meat can be advertised on TV such as animals’ right to live. Moreover, replacing similar foods made by meat with those made by crops could be another way, though they may not taste as well as those made by meat. Take soy as an example, it might be an exquisite one to take place. As a result of these measures, some nutrients might not be ubiquitous among crops while they are available in meats. Hence, they may lead to detrimental effects for health. Vegetarians, for example, use some pills to satisfy their needs, which might have some side effects unfortunately. In addition, some people might get depressed while they have not consumed meat since they might cherish from eating meat, or they have been used to it. To sum up, although by advertising or replacing meats reducing meat consumption can occur, some problems may happen. I, however, think a balance between meat and crops consumption could be a solution. By doing so, not only can authority figures cope with lands, but detrimental impacts also can be prevented.
