Switching to a plant-based diet could save lives.
You're viewing a single thread.
But I like feeling like a real manly man when I eat my real manly meat in a real manly way with my real manly bros, surely that's worth a few hundreds thousands human lives a year ?
(And btw, plant-based diets could also save 100 million animal lives a year)
I think it you want to see the environmental benefits, is less of saving animal lives and more ensuring that 100 million animals a year never exist?
Edit: Not sure what is controversial about this. We stop eating meat to stop farming of livestock. No livestock lives are saved, just new animals aren't born into the mincer.
What benefits? The animals fart methane. You probably do too..
Two animals farting methane is worse than one, but also, fewer energy transformations.
Sun -> Plant -> Human
vs
Sun -> Plant -> Cow -> HumanIt's just physics.
So if cows don't exist, then earth happy?
Equation solved, eat all the burgers..
When you buy flesh they just use that money to make more cows.
When you stop buying flesh they stop making more cows.
That's just economics. Now say some more glib bullshit to show how deeply unserious you are.
Both problems can be addressed at once. Eat all the bovine, and stop breeding bovine..
The problem will never be solved just by avoiding meat. Eat all the meat!
Also, if you follow my instructions, eat all the meat, then cows go extinct, which fixes the majority of the bovine methane issue.
