A Malthusian article on why the world will soon be vegetarian. The point: people love their meat, but its unsustainable, so governments will outlaw it in order to focus on less resource intensive food sources. The author's suggested date for the beginning of the meat famine: 2025.

Giving the gov't the ability to force sterilization sounds like a horrible idea. It opens up a huge potential for misuse.

I don't see this as an either this or that; it's a false dichotomy.
