On a related note to this thread there’s a burger place near me that sells 1lb post cooked elk burgers and if you eat the whole thing in one sitting you get your picture on the wall

Imagine the diarrhea after that

the study confuses me
it sez that in the model, btwn 2020 and 2050, deforestation will basically double
but if you replace 1/5 of beef production with fake meat production, that deforestation will be cut in half

so is it saying that decreasing 1/5 of your intake of beef will result in 1/2 of current deforestation? or 1/2 of 2050's doubled deforestation (ie no reduction compared to present deforestation)

you're contributing to mango deforestation

I read it as the latter. Basically just keeping us from our trajectory to make s*** worse rather than any kind of reversal

I always had like only 30% of meat in my entire diet so I guess I'm good

smh. It's a wrap for me then.

thats not...nevermind

I really appreciate the cause but I’m throating all the meat

Veganism is a front for MNC’s to control food supplies and leave the public incapable of feeding itself. Go look up how much farmland bill gates bought recently then look up what he did to Africa’s food system on the premise of sustainability. I’m not arguing with the scientifically proven effects of deforestation, but vegan alternatives are often equally s*** for the environment. Food that comes from the land you live on is the best way to eat end of story. Veganism is another evolution further into the s***hole for our food system

Facts

but vegan alternatives are often equally s*** for the environment.

you gonna need to source claims like this cuz everything I speak about regarding veganism comes with sources.

And this ain't even touching the ethical atrocities committed by farmers. 98-99% of meat comes from a factory farm, there isn't anything good about that, not for the people, the land, or the animals.

Food that comes from the land you live on is the best way to eat end of story.

The benefits of eating locally sourced food are overstated when compared against the negatives associated with animal agriculture, so this is simply not a cut and dry truthful statement like you make it out to be. It of course is always better to eat a local plant based diet rather than getting plants shipped halfway around the world, but having those plants shipped like that is still less harmful to the environment than eating local meat.

Your second to last sentence seems to contradict the first tbh. Its much likelier a person could produce most of what they need to eat on the relatively small amount of land individuals tend to possess if they were vegan or plant based(a couple chickens require a pretty small footprint) than actually raising livestock for eating meat.

Mfs wylin itt ain’t no way y’all riding this hard for meat
