People underestimate just how intensely wasteful meat is, at least the average meat you find in a grocery store. There is a few exceptions like fishing it yourself but even that is getting unfeasible with how high demand is in the general population
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.
Organic milk and eggs do jack for the animal’s wellbeing - they are still being bred and tortured (and killed) for our pleasure. Having half a square meter more to themselves does not change this fact.
If you live in a country like the USA you can already buy non-animal dairy! Unfortunately it’s illegal where I live (thanks to the Green party) but a lot of dairy companies think it’s the future as it has a fraction of the environmental impact and none of the cruelty associated with industrial cattle farming.
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.
Besides, dairy is affordable. Meat isn’t.
i doubt it.
Beef costs 60 kg of co2 to produce 1 kg of meat. Fruits an plants still release carbon in production, but much less.

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.

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.
it’s probably just firm consolidation, not a decrease in production.
owid
That’s ok. There are more than enough sources to learn about it. When you are ready, you are going to do it.
your snide condescension isn’t persuasive
Are you open to being persuaded?
yes, but I am also highly skeptical, so you’d need proof, not rhetoric.
Which, as they said, are readily available if you actually wanted to learn.
I’ve looked and I don’t find the facts support the claim above, but maybe there are facts I haven’t found
Just buy eco eggs and milk if they are available. Those fuckers will torture the animals to the brink of killing them.

We call em Öko over here and they tend to be available in every supermarket.
