- re:religion in general
- mostly, i agree with your letter. my problem with it is your comment about
- using religion as a reason of abstaining from the consumption of animal
- flesh. you say instead of worrying about religion, we could be solving
- world hunger. the key to solving world hunger is surprisingly simple.
- if all americans became vegetarians, we would be able to feed the world
- three times over!!!!! albeit, religion is not a good reason for this, but
- it works just the same. i agree religion of any kind is bull, but some of
- it has good ideas: like not killing people or animals. i am also glad that
- someone pointed out that christianity is not the only culprit. all
- religions are is a way to explain things without thinking.

- the info on world hunger can be found in VEGETARIAN TIMES(i'm not sure what
- issue).
