true propaganda is still propaganda and serves a political agenda.
oh that we could convince liberals this is true.

the movement is growing
google trends says otherwise
do you think .world admins care?
it is possible to feed a vegan world, and it would actually be easier
it’s even easier to feed a world with no living creatures. that doesn’t make it desirable
We could grow far more food by repurposing that land.
if that were the case, why aren’t we? it seems there must be a good reason that in the over half decade since this paper’s publication, surely we could have revolutionized our food production. instead, even though veganism saw a steady rise from before the publication of that paper until 2020, it’s been in decline since then. somehow i don’t think that paper captured the whole scope of our agricultural system.

this seems to say (near the bottom there) that basically everything a cow eats (52 of 54 units or there about) is either grazed grass or crop residues, with only like 2 or 3 of those units (so about 4-6%, in round numbers) comes from crops grown to feed them. i don’t really know the dietary composition of a chicken or swine, but, cattle, at least, get essentially no direct crops at all.
one calorie of meat requires 6 calories of crops.
ah, but much of the crops that are fed to animals are the byproducts of our own agricultural processes. by feeding them to cattle we get more calories than we would, since we won’t eat, for instance, cottonseeds and corn stalks.
99% of male calves are killed immediately after being born
that’s not true.
I don’t feel that I ever ask you to respond at all. I feel I’ve been right this whole time and you just don’t understand the topic well enough to discuss it. enjoy your vacation.
so long as i can still choose my own actions, i can’t say that other people’s reactions caused me to act in any way.
at no point have i proposed that the production is desirable, only the consumption.
At this point I really am unsure whether you are just trolling since this is not rocket science.
this is an appeal to ridicule. youre right that it’s not rocket science though: that is provable.
it’s not an analogy. it’s a hypothetical. and in my hypothetical you can see that your proposed causation falls apart. even in your amended version, when do i lose free will?
ever heard the term “blue maga”?
