commie

comparing slaves to animals is what slavers do.

I will not be kind to those who are animal abusers

most people feel the same way.

Mean consumption is on a downward trend

can you show me some evidence of this?

I did watch that video. probably a dozen times. it gets posted often. I shouldn't be expected to debunk an argument that isn't made.

I rewatched* it after I made my comment though, and it does not establish what they claimed. it doesn't cite sources**, and it's primary thesis is "it's complicated"

edit(s):

* i actually listened to it. but just now, after i made this comment, i scrubbed it and i found:

** they do some pretty hard-to-see and also hard-to-research citation in the form of citing academic papers in the bottom right of the screen around the time they are making the claim. and let me tell you, poore-nemecek is the basis of the lca analysis (which i could have guessed), and that lca analysis is flat out bad science. it's certainly not a compelling reason to be vegan.

can you give me a compelling reason?

That's the opposite of what you were accusing corporations of doing.

if you think they deserve it, you should make sure they get it.

your third claim is going to take some reading for me, but I would bet dollars to donuts that I'm going to find out that they're counting greenhouse gas emissions from the feed that is given to animals, which makes sense if you don't think about it too long. but most of what we need to feed to animals is actually agricultural waste product, so by feeding it to animals, we are conserving, not producing.

your first claim is actually just fluff. The actual research paper does not make that same claim.

your second claim is literally expired. The academy of nutrition and dietetics does not currently have a position about vegetarian or vegan diets.
