personally I'm still waiting for him to supply the evidence on why it's meat destroying the planet, rather than the slash and burn farming methods used in the amazon.
I forgot about that. Deforestation in South America is predominantly happening to clear new lands for grazing or to grow feed for the ranches. This is a univeraally accepted fact. I find your deep hatred of veganism quite hilarious to be honest. If the entire planet went vegetarian/vegan we would be able to feed the population on a fraction of the land we currently use. Entire ecosystems would be allowed to fix themselves, greenhouse gases would drop significantly and we wouldn't be toturing animals before slaughtering and eating them. I can go full-Sisu and get some graphs out for you if it helps?
I've said all I'm going to say on the matter. All that needs to be said as a matter of fact. @brb close this thread. It has finally run it's course. TYVM.
no, it's a known fact that the slash and burn style of farming in the region is the cause of the deforestation, they burn the field, completely drain it of any nutrients to grow the soya with absolutely no thought to sustainability because setting a fire is far cheaper, therefore far more profitable, than sustaining land you've already cleared. If they stop growing cows for beef, can you guess what will happen? If not, I'll tell you, they'll burn down part of the forest to clear it, grow soya until it's drained the land of all it's nutrients, and then burn down some more forest to clear it for more soya, which will then proceed to drain that bit of land of all it's nutrients. When that's done, they will burn down some more forest, grow more soya until it's drained the cleared land of it's nutrients etc etc. Going vegan will have changed absolutley nothing.
They could grow some trees that have fruit on. Then people could eat those and not have to cut down the tree either. Mangoes are nice.
