Meat requires far more agricultural production per calorie, nearly an order of magnitude.

Eating plant-based reduces the death of animals killed by harvesting by 90% all things being equal, on top of the cruelty reduction of factory farming on slaughter.

There is no such thing as perfect ethics, but that's not a valid reason to make things 10x worse.

What do the green shades represent? It would be nice to have that in the annotations.

That's not what saving means.

King, I repeat, not being born is salvation for these animals.

Maine, you wanna update your grid?

No it's not. The chart says cutting back on meat will save animals.

No. It will either lead to death or non-existence of animals. Neither of which is saving them.

Fish isn't considered an "animal"? It's conspicuously absent from that chart, and seafood is my primary source of meat. Due to that, I am skeptical of the value and correctness of this chart.

Surprised people weren’t criticizing Bias more because, y’know

Definitely the point.

Now do the chart for Jeffrey Dahmer...

Not the point.

If your existence was to be trapped and tortured for the entirety of your life until you’re needlessly slaughtered for the pleasure of another species… not being born would be salvation.

Ain't no way Taliban is on reddit 💀

Why do vegans always just revert to insulting people. Like that ever changed someone's mind.

You could do this with the 4 christian stories Mark, Luke, Sneezy, John; to find out which gospel borrowed from which. My first philosophy teacher showed us a pattern.

Nothing to do with ancient history. The correlation is simply that they have similar Government systems

All of the top placed countries are social democracies that have strong social safety nets & health systems (which increase life expectancy), well-funded education systems, high degrees of economic freedom (which boosts total GDP) and highly progressive tax & payment systems (which reduce inequality and boost low and median incomes)

My salivary glands squirted after reading this.

Ground up insects would be perfect to add to protein bars.

They're arguing a completely different point than I am while insulting me.

That's not how discussions work.

idk I thought they made a solid point.

Maybe not extinct, but billions would be needlessly killed. That I can guarentee

Without a market for them there's no monetary investment for farmers to keep them alive. The leather and animal feed industries don't require that level of volume.

There'd be a HUGE culling.

I mean, their statement is true? You may not like how they frame it, but that doesn't make it false.

Are you possibly a PETA supporter? Because your viewpoint seems to be aligned with theirs.

Great idea. We can definitely do a follow up with average upvotes
