Can you share the source for this chart? It doesn't list whether this is for a specific country, region or global.
The chart also considers protein supply for this reason.
It's extremely rare that grazing land is used for anything else. In fact, over half of tropical deforestation is done to create pasture land for cattle.

"Crop residues" or "crop seconds" only account for about a quarter of global animal feed, and the grain fed to cattle in the US alone could feed a billion people.
Please don't present this as the norm for animal agriculture, as it's disingenuous at best. The rare instances where this occurs are far outweighed by the habitable land use that animal agriculture accounts for globally. And even in the countries you call out, such as New Zealand, factory farming is on the rise, and pigs are almost exclusively factory farmed.
I used to make fun of vegans too, now I am one. Othering a group of people might seem like fun, but just make sure you try not to think too hard about their position. I think you'll be ok though.
For those who forgot polls don't mean shit and only voting matters:
Require Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to personally pay for national, comprehensive medical coverage for every American.
Chuck Norris is a Socialist he's just too dumb to realize it.
Digital Foundry made a pretty convincing case that it's running on current switch hardware: https://www.ign.com/articles/was-metroid-prime-4-running-on-switch-2. That being said, a cross-generation release wouldn't be out of character for Nintendo.
Yes, but as you can see, growing plants to feed animals and raising them is a very inefficient use of land.
Well, livestock are definitely a major source of animal contact outbreaks, but I do agree with you that wild animals displaced from their environment as a result of land use change is a factor as well.
And what is the biggest contributing factor in land use? Oh, it's animal agriculture again...
The definition I've heard the most is: newborn (0-3 mo.), infant (3-12ish mo, toddler (from the time they start walking to between about 2-3 years). Technically, any of them could be considered a baby.
"Toddler" describes the action of toddling, or walking in an uncoordinated way.
I remember an article where someone asked the developer, Billy Basso, why the PS5 version of the game was over double the file size, and he said it's probably because the banner image that displays for the game was probably a bigger file than the game itself.
He claims to not support Trump, but seems to defend him all the time:
He recently defended Trump regarding the trial verdict: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-barack-obama-joe-rogan-tony-hinchcliffe-podcast-1909438
He defended Trump to Bill Maher on his podcast: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/joe-rogan-bill-maher-trump-biden-1235581529/
Said Joe Biden is mentally unfit while citing something that Trump actually said: https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/joe-rogan-fact-checked-biden-trump-revolutionary-war-airports-1235849684/
He even said he would vote for Trump over Biden in 2020: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/04/joe-rogan-donald-trump-joe-biden-bernie-sanders
STAR, or Score Then Automatic Runoff, differs from RCV in that instead of ranking the candidates in order of preference, you can assign a rating to each, out of five stars. All of the stars are added for each candidate (score), and the ones with the fewest stars are eliminated (automatic runoff), then the scores are added again, another runoff, etc.
So say you love candidate C, you dislike candidate B, and you hate candidate A.
- In an RCV system, you'd rank C,B,A, and if C is eliminated, your full support goes behind B, but in the initial scoring round, only your top ranked candidate gets your full vote.
- In a STAR system, you'd maybe give C five stars, B two stars, and A zero stars. You're still giving some support to B for the initial scoring round, but most of your support goes to C.
So the biggest difference is that in the initial scoring round, your preference for candidates other than your first choice are considered. Check out this video, which gives a good breakdown of voting systems and how they account for spoilage: https://youtu.be/oFqV2OtJOOg?si=8sLYiYpA7EnOt94i
I learned a lot about home maintenance and handiwork from my dad, but then I started looking stuff up and realized he's been stubbornly doing a lot of projects the wrong way.
I'm a fan of STAR voting myself, but anything is better than the first past the post system we have now.
