Everybody's gotta eat, but not everyone's gotta fuck a dog
No one has to eat meat, in fact with all the space used for animals we could produce way more food instead.
People with crohn's or colostomy bags would disagree.
The space used for animals is grassland and doesn't have the right soil to be cropland. i.e. if all animals disappeared tomorrow we wouldn't get any more cropland at all.
With one exception being the animals that are fed with crops.
We wouldn't grow more crops in total, but more would be available for human consumption.
The bulk of animal food from crops isn't human edible, i.e. the leftover waste. Cows have an amazing ruminant digestive system that can process plant food that humans can't!
Cool idea: don't presuppose what literally every human needs based on your narrow worldview. Without significant animal fat and protein I wouldn't be able live.
No, I'm not going to get into specifics, but also, no, I cannot get my current nutritional needs (and still desire to eat) by cutting animal products and biproducts in my diet.
Then who has to fuck a dog? Didn't you mean noone has to fuck a dog?
Paging lemmy.world/u/noone
what do you have to say for yourself?
I think their point is that there are options to not eat the dog either.
Are there more people then having sex with dogs than there are those who eat them?
