The profligacy of livestock farming is astonishing. Already, 36% of the calories grown in the form of grain and pulses – and 53% of the protein – are used to feed farm animals. Two-thirds of this food is lost in conversion from plant to animal. A graph produced last week by Our World in Data suggests that, on average, you need 0.01m2 of land to produce a gram of protein from beans or peas, but 1m2 to produce it from beef cattle or sheep: a 100-fold difference.
- And produces 7% of greenhouse gasses, that contribute to climate change that is causing mass starvation through inability to grow maize in Africa.kingsteven
- Large scale export farming in India is contributing to mass flooding... wiping out small farms that grow more varied crops for local consumption...kingsteven
- All of this causes instability and mass migration which in turn stokes support for politicians that deny humanitarian responsibility by shutting borders.kingsteven

Don't have kids.
- do, but just educate them properlyhans_glib
- educate them how not to starve? or are you going for the have more kids so you can sell/ eat them later approach?kingsteven
- kids are great, parents are fucked up. i honestly think that psychological shift that comes with becoming a parent. is a big part of this.kingsteven
- ^ agree with thismugwart
- (most) kids are great, and so are (most) parents.Krassy
- i didn't mean they're not great, all my mates that have kids are great. but they are the ultimate consumers, the harbingers of the status quo of oblivion...kingsteven

Just kidding, I've not eaten meat in three days, which is for me quite 'good'detritus - Even if you don't go full vegan, if everyone cut out beef that would pretty much solve a huge part of the problemSunSunSun_
- *none grass-fed beef, you mean.detritus

- Vegan + mollusks.section_014
- it's against my religion.sted
- drop cheese for a month or so then checkout the vegan options. Tastes different but surprisingly nice!mugwart
- Think of one thing you cant live without and give up everything else. Its easier than just given up everything and you enjoy that one thing so much moremugwart
- vegan cream cheese was quite possibly the most horrid tasting thing I've ever tasted, and whomever is responsible should be water boarded for the crimemonospaced
- hey OBBTKN, by veggie cheese I don't mean vegan but cheese without animal Rennet.********
- eggs and cheese only animal protein. if i go fully vegan i will talk to my doctor to recommend me a good b12 suplement.********
