    My problem is that it could be working now but since theres no proof yet you won’t believe it. What if that line starts very slowly flattening out? Is that enough evidence?

      you’d have to show the causal link between vegans existing and the production flattening. what if it’s just that we run out of agricultural land, or a meteor strikes a major production region? we need to know what actually causes the change in the graph, not simply speculate that it could be buying beans.

        If we ran out of new land to use wouldnt it plateau?

        Isnt the line going up constantly evidence of constant addition of new land to hold more animals?

        I suppose they could be getting more efficient but thats the opposite of regulation.

          whatever you call it, we can’t attribute it to vegans.

          that’s the assumption I’m using.

            When we run out of land, won’t we have to replace land used for meat production for land for plant production so we can continue feeding an expanding world?

                I didnt know you’d think it was so wild. I guess we have plenty of land left tk go around for a while?

          I’m assuming it is this in combination with new efficiencies (like the swine hotels in China)
