Well.... most of the domestic animals would probably die out as there would be no need for them. Impart from that.... not too much.

Build a giant spaceship and blast them off to Beta Ceti 6.

The domestic animals would probably be turned into pets or something...come to think of it, having a pet pig might be kind of neat.

Wild Cows would return to the American landscape. McDonalds would have a hissy fit.

Well, by and large cattle are bred to be dumb and worthless for any purpose other than eating, as are most domestic chickens. They'd all die of dieseases, starvation and cold really quickly. Pigs might be able to get by with eating roots and crap that they find in the woods, they are reasonably clever creatures.

you could join that group though

you would proabaly be better off as you would all have free range stuff that wasnt fed steroids, hormones or antibiotics and would therefore be healthier in the long run plus the meat would taste better I am sure.

if the world stopped eating meat/animal products - there would be a period where a bunch of animals would die off if they stopped taking care of those animals and let them free and there would be a whole shitload of people that wouldnt know how to cook for themselves in a healthy fashion as well.

underground dairy/meat prices will explode and sadness will reign across the land.

Well, then we'd just kill 'em for fun, I suppose.

I'm not living in a world where most people have lentil cassarole while Rosie O'Donnel chows down on free-range organic beef.

It all or nothing.

We'd see the advent of meat-eating-as-perverse-fetish, that's what.

I would capture and slaughter as many animals as I could.
Then I would build a giant tower of their bones using glycerin-based glue.
From the top of this tower I would cast horrible necromantic spells to cause the spirits of the dead animals to come back and destroy the world.
I would then rule over the remaining population of people who happened to be in cities I liked with my evil necromantic powers.
Fwahaha.
Not bad

The price would go down for those of us who did not stop eating animals.

We'd get a planet full of skinny vegans with no boobs. :(

I liked LGs idea though.

*Give me a steak for dinner, and make sure it's still mooing.*

"Just bring out the cow, we'll slice off what we'll eat and ride the rest home."

What would happen if we decided lead was the most valuable commodity in the world and gold was worthless?

*Brain explodes*


*gets fragmented brain particles*
*glues them together*
But its all based on how much is available. There shit loads of lead and relativly minimal ammounts of Gold...so I dont really see how that comparison works.

that was answered in a cartoon...

basically, a king, who had all his country's gold found himself the poorest when everyone changed their money from gold to radishes.


so basically, all the geeks would be rich with all their Lead Minature figures they've collected over the years. :D
