And thats how it should be now, different if they came in by the official means and pass a skills test.

Hi,
They were all assessed and passed the relevant criteria before being allowed to emigrate.
They were wanted; probably why most fitted in so well.

From the get go we are carnivores as such feeding off special blood(?) in our mother's womb, and omnivores in the first few weeks or months feeding off human milk. No such thing as a vegan from conception.

Save that we are not animals so no animal products from birth. Take your point though. Having said that babies only have milk for a finite time and we are self sufficient for that milk. What though makes us think it's a good idea to take the baby off mum's milk and start them on calf milk...milk designed to get another species, bovine, from a baby to a 1 tonne beast in a short period of time. Crazy stuff (I was raised on milk straight from the bail yard). Plenty of evidence that many early people only ate starch and similiar.

Check this out. Fascinating.

Forget about Australia's population growth, it's global population growth that's the problem. We need something to come by and wipe out 30M people asap. How could someone can look at the predicted population growth to 10B people within 50 years from now and not see an issue.

Biggest problem is most of that growth is in developing countries, so if we bought in a 1 child policy like China had, it would make little to no difference.

WHO is obviously expecting something pretty big to happen between now and then, because that curve isn't going to drop off by itself.

There was an American chap who explained that really well using gum balls.
It's on youtube.

As I said earlier, educating girls causes a sharp drop in the birth rate.

There is a large body of evidence to show we should avoid dairy. This vid is 9 years old but compelling. And a lot of evidence since supporting Dr Mcdougall as to this .

Educate a girl for 12 years compared with 0 years and she is likely to have 4-5 fewer children. It's that simple.
