			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Rodney Heitschmidt and Jerry Stuth point out that “[h]umankind has historically fostered and relied upon livestock grazing for a substantial portion of its livelihood because it is the only process capable of converting the energy in grassland vegetation into  an energy source directly consumable by humans.” Nineteen billion metric tons of vegetation are produced by plants in grasslands and savannas, and we can’t eat them. Humans and ruminants are not naturally in competition for the same meal: this is where the political vegetarians have gone wrong. Yes, industrial culture has been stuffing grain into as many animals as it can. But it’s the logic of industrial capitalism that’s dictating that diet, not nature.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>Rodney Heitschmidt e Jerry Stuth fanno notare che &#8220;storicamente l&#8217;umanità ha fatto affidamento sul pascolo del bestiame per ottenere una parte sostanziale del proprio sostentamento perché esso è l&#8217;unico processo capace di convertire l&#8217;energia della vegetazione erbacea in una fonte di energia direttamente consumabile dagli umani&#8221;. Le piante delle praterie e delle savane producono diciannove miliardi di tonnellate di vegetazione, e noi non possiamo mangiarle. Umani e ruminanti non sono naturalmente in competizione per lo stesso cibo: ecco dove i vegetariani politici sbagliano. Sì, la cultura industriale ha stipato cereali in quanti più animali possibile. Ma è la logica del capitalismo industriale che sta dettando la dieta, non la natura.</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>The fact that the ideological distinction is artificial was first spotted by Albert Camus, who pointed out that both Western industrialism and its communist version achieve similar results through similar means &#8211; industrialization and specialization of labor. In the 1950s, in <em>Défence de L&#8217;Homme Révolté</em>,  Camus accurately predicted that if the communist experiment were to fail, this  would be misunderstood as an ideological victory by the West.<br />
Camus also indicated a specific failure of both systems: their  inability to provide creative, meaningful work. We see this failure in the very  high rates of depression. We attempt to define depression as a psychological  ailment, but it is a symptom of a cultural failure: the inability to make life  meaningful or enjoyable. Depression in the face of depressing circumstances is a  symptom of unconscious rebellion. Although the rebellious can and are medicated into  submission, this does not address the underlying problem.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>Che la distinzione ideologica sia artificiale fu notato per la prima volta da Albert Camus, il quale evidenziò che sia l&#8217;industrialismo occidentale che la sua versione comunista raggiungono risultati simili con mezzi simili &#8211; industrializzazione e specializzazione del lavoro. Negli anni &#8217;50, in </em>Défence de L&#8217;Homme Révolté<em>, Camus predisse con accuratezza che se l&#8217;esperimento comunista fosse fallito, ciò sarebbe stato frainteso come una vittoria ideologica dell&#8217;Occidente.<br />
Camus indicò anche un preciso fallimento di entrambi i sistemi: la loro incapacità di offrire un lavoro creativo e dotato di significato. Questo fallimento è evidente negli alti tassi di depressione. Si cerca di definire la depressione come un disturbo psicologico, ma è un sintomo di fallimento culturale: l&#8217;incapacità di rendere la vita sensata o piacevole. La depressione di fronte a circostante deprimenti è un sintomo di ribellione inconscia. Anche se i ribelli possono essere e sono curati perché si sottomettano, ciò non affronta il problema soggiacente.</em></p></blockquote>
