Go vegan. It's better for the planet too.

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

I know, i am vegan for those reasons and more :)

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (10 children)

being vegan doesn't help the planet at all.

How does reducing land and water use through your food choice not help the planet?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it doesn't actually reduce the use.

Please don't tell me you're gonna bring up the stupid soy fields in the rain forest argument :'D

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (21 children)

being vegan doesn't stop soy from being grown in rainforests

environmental destruction continues whether you are vegan or not.

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yep due to the meat industry keeping going regardless of a fairly small demographic quitting their products

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so maybe you should stop lying to people about being vegan helping the planet.

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It does, if enough people did it.

You're so angry lol

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what makes you think you can tell anything about my emotional state?

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Cuz youre lying about a very emotionally charged topic and calling me a liar. If you were not emotionally engaged, youd simply point out the data.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you were not emotionally engaged, youd simply point out the data.

i've provided exactly as much data as you have.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

youre lying

everything i've said is true. you are the one who seems to want to bend reality to match your beliefs.

do you have a plan to make that happen? how many people is enough?

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are u moving goal posts to feel like you're winning something or genuinely expect the comment section in an online forum to solve societal issues?

Less meat produced = better.

How much more better things could be a different wat is irrelevant; using that as an excuse to never do anything is actually damaging.
