Veganism rule - Lemmy.zip

I’m probably gonna go vegetarian but I love dairy too much to go vegan
That’s fair. Cutting out meat is already making an intense impact and don’t let purists tell you otherwise.

Cutting out meat is already making an intense impact

i doubt it.

Beef costs 60 kg of co2 to produce 1 kg of meat. Fruits an plants still release carbon in the production, but much less.

Got Beef? Here’s What Your Hamburger Is Doing To The Climate

For centuries, the ethics of killing animals for their meat has been a bone of contention among humans. But the looming specter of climate change has given meat eaters an additional dilemma to consider.

first, i am suspicious of those numbers, and don’t think they tell teh whole story.

even if they did, cutting out meat from my diet would have no impact at all.

Your skepticism based on nothing. Giving them your money supports their negative impact.
i know for a fact that a meat eater died ten years ago. since then, the meat production has only risen. i could literally die and never buy another animal product, and it would not change the industry.

Of course spending trends affect the market. Meat processing facilities are slowly closing all over.

Not that this bullshit, empty-headed comment warranted a reply.

Meat processing facilities are slowly closing all over.

it’s probably just firm consolidation, not a decrease in production.

owid

Meat production

Expressed in tonnes. Includes cattle, poultry, sheep/mutton, goat, pigmeat, and wild game.

Our World in Data
I would never click a link from a bad faith arguement in my life. The meat industry is hurting and you’re a weak little pawn.
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
our world in data is a vast resource paid for by the FAO, which itself is paid for by the UN. if you don’t want to trust CIA propaganda, i tend to agree, but i don’t know of any other resource that totals agricultural output globally.

it’s just a chart. i don’t know why you’re afraid.
