But I like feeling like a real manly man when I eat my real manly meat in a real manly way with my real manly bros, surely that’s worth a few hundreds thousands human lives a year ?
(And btw, plant-based diets could also save 100 million animal lives a year)
I think it you want to see the environmental benefits, is less of saving animal lives and more ensuring that 100 million animals a year never exist?
Edit: Not sure what is controversial about this. We stop eating meat to stop farming of livestock. No livestock lives are saved, just new animals aren’t born into the mincer.
What benefits? The animals fart methane. You probably do too…
Two animals farting methane is worse than one, but also, fewer energy transformations.
Sun -> Plant -> Human
vs
Sun -> Plant -> Cow -> HumanIt’s just physics.
So if cows don’t exist, then earth happy?
Equation solved, eat all the burgers…
When you buy flesh they just use that money to make more cows.
When you stop buying flesh they stop making more cows.
That’s just economics. Now say some more glib bullshit to show how deeply unserious you are.
Both problems can be addressed at once. Eat all the bovine, and stop breeding bovine…
The problem will never be solved just by avoiding meat. Eat all the meat!
Also, if you follow my instructions, eat all the meat, then cows go extinct, which fixes the majority of the bovine methane issue.
Preach! The whole foods plant based diet is the healthiest.
Make plants free to eat then.
It’s not possible to make them free. Do you think plants grow on trees? Don’t be ridiculous
At least subsidise it, like my govrrnment does (Germany)
200,000 extra people alive? I’m sure they’ll be happy but that’s going to do a lot of environmental damage from meeting their needs and other activity
If that 200k includes you, do you mind not being saved so that you won’t be the cause to environmental damage?
Everybody wants to go to the party. nobody wants to stay and clean up.
Yes but we’ll tell all 200,000 to go vegan or else we’ll go back to killin em.
But if people don’t eat the cows, then there will be more methane, ammonia, etc in the air.
Seems to me we should be eating more meat to reduce the cow population. Either that, or convince the farmers to breed less cows.
🍔
Eating less meat is exactly what encourages farmers to breed less cows.
Have you ever met a farmer? It’s like a fetish for many of them, to collect semen…
That’s true, but what does it have to do with cows?
Omnivore logic.
