    Yeah, because there’s more people in total.

    make any excuse you want

    That doesn’t mean people going vegan doesn’t stop the growth of the meat industry.

    all the evidence is to the contrary

      I’ll reply all in one comment:

      Sorry you failed math, I guess?

      all the evidence is to the contrary

      production determines availability. there is no reason to assume we could produce more meat than we do, given land and technology constraints.

      meat production happened before trade. there is no reason to assume it will ever end.

      Where do you think meat is going? Why do you think it was being produced before trade, for fun? And do you not understand the basic concept that less =/= more, and that less emissions is better than more emissions?

      It’s really not a hard concept to grasp, but go ahead and keep trying to hide your head in the sand and justify your consumerism while pretending to give a shit. I won’t bother wasting my time on someone who apparently can’t grasp basic math.

        yes, but there is no evidence that being vegan reduces the emissions from the meat industry.

          This strikes me as nonsensical. If one person stops eating meat then the meat industry will create less waste. Maybe not exactly 1 person less, but unless they literally trash all of the meat that person would have consumed, it must be less.

            I guarantee a meat eater died yesterday. the industry is not going to shrink because of it.
