The place of large mammal flesh as the central component in the human diet is creating food scarcity because bovines use more food than they produce. But our ancestors didn't scrape and claw their way to the top of the food chain just so their descendants could devolve back into herbevores, a.k.a. prey. So don't go vegetarian, go entomophagarian:

This page is where I
catalogue cool things I've found in garbage bins. From this activity,
I've had a ringside seat for the increase in consumerism and it's
waste. Perfectely good beds, clothes, etc, but I'm not showing those
here. I wash them and donate them to "free stores" in
community centers, if I can't find someone who wants them. I'm remaking this
page, so there'll be pictures on here again really soon. Also, go here to see
some garbage I don't like finding: This

Basic rules for dumpster diving:
I
usually avoid opening bags, I usually scan the top of a bin, knock a
few things around and see what's obvious. I feel bags carefully, if
they feel like clothes I open them to see. Careful about bags, always
lift them from the top knot, pinch a corner or use a stick to turn
them over if you have to. Some people, though they shouldn't, throw
dirty needles
into garbage cans and bins, so they are always a potential hazard.
If
there's clothes and/or other useful items in a bin that you don't
want, it's traditional to leave an article of clothing draped over
the side of the bin to let other potential divers know that it's
worth checking out. It's the scavengers equivelent to squatters'
rights symbol for a building that's good to stay in.
If you're not
taking it, put it back in. Messing up alleys with garbage gives us
all a bad name.
But
most of it's going to the landfill, which are locked up now and you
can get fined for taking stuff out.
Come to think about it, it's
technically illegal to dumpster dive. Consumerism is being enforced
by law now.
