Cheaper and better. Decades ago I knew somebody [Bruce Pasalich] who was vegetarian, very healthy [an airline pilot] and he had made a bean pie. It was really delicious. <That’s where the beans come in, since they provide all the nutrition of fancier food at a fraction of the cost. “Don’t scoff at the beans,” Cowen encourages readers who might feel unsettled by his dystopian view of America’s future. Cooked with freshly ground cumin and pureed chili peppers, he insists, they can be quite tasty.> Decades before that I was working on Auckland's wharves as a wharfie and a man there was vegetarian, which was a novelty to me in those days. I had thought that vegetarians were sort of sickly [a stereotype I had believed, because I didn't actually know any]. This man was like a Greek god. He had long hair in a pony tail [before long hair was a big deal] and had a very muscular physique and for all I know, seemed to be as healthy as humans could be.

It's only a reduction in lifestyle to be vegetarian and eating beans if somebody thinks it is.

Cultures change, people adapt. Maori ancestors liked to eat "long pig" [human]. I doubt that many modern Maoris are disappointed that they are no longer permitted to eat people. I'd bet that given the choice, they'd stick with KFC. Give them another decade and they might switch to bean pie [for health and happiness].
