TDB, the Vegetarian

The Dragon Boss may have to become a vegetarian. They're saying there's gonna be another 2 billion people by the time he's 40 and there may not be enough water for all those people to get protein with every meal.

Or even every fifth meal, which is the global average right now. But to support 9 billion people in 2040, protein can only be 5% of the global diet.

Apparently, one third of the arable land in the world is planted to feed animals, which means that a protein based diet requires 5 to 10 times as much water as a vegetarian one. Vulgar bulgur, anyone? That means you, TDB.
