Straight out not the case. lots of animals are on farmable land. Also animals eat lots of our crops eg 80% of the worlds soy. Here's one (of many possible ones) reference stating that we would only need 25% of the current agricultural land if the world went vegan. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/01/28/if-everyone-were-vegan-only-a-quarter-of-current-farmland-would-be-needed
It absolutely could. Not with the current diet but if there was a shift to less meat then we could substantially reduce the amount of land used in food production.
It does matter. In the uk being vegan is a protected trait and they have a legal obligation to not force you to change your morals. unlike what others have said vegetarian isn't a protected trait and gets less protection.
I'm still here!
it's pretty crazy that no one in this thread has mentioned that going vegan would have a larger impact.
I really hope we can evolve past seeing animals as food.
So crazy that they just get a small fine for such large scale environmental damage. There should be prison sentences!
It's such an afront to democracy that the ruling party was allowed to change the years they are in power from 4 to 5. We would have had that election by now...
Those things as so tasty. Looks like it could make loads of mushroom steaks. Butter and garlic make all the difference
I really hope green continues to see a big boost!
Only 69% left to sort out. Nice! Glad to see positive steps hopefully the rest of the world gets on board.
So your data set shows 76% used for animals and 4% for industry. That's very similar to the figures I referred to.
