⬇️ This is a fact. ⬇️

It’s not a meme. It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact — a fact I wish everyone could accept, take to heart, and use to motivate action!!

@breadandcircuses @steve Meat heavy diets have a much larger footprint than plant based, regardless of the profits being made.

@erispoe @breadandcircuses @steve veganism is definitely a more eco-friendly diet, and if you enjoy it, do it. But it would be much more impactful to stop the massive corporations dumping pollution constantly. That said solving the climate crisis is a “yes and” more than a “either or”

I recently read in the Guardian that "Detailed analysis finds plant diets lead to 75% less climate-heating emissions, water pollution and land use than meat-rich ones."

If that's true that is HUGE. Then moving to a vegan diet becomes obligatory for progressives that have the option to, IMHO.

Beef is a thief.

Vegan diet massively cuts environmental damage, study shows
