People underestimate just how intensely wasteful meat is, at least the average meat you find in a grocery store. There is a few exceptions like fishing it yourself but even that is getting unfeasible with how high demand is in the general population
i know for a fact that a meat eater died ten years ago. since then, the meat production has only risen. i could literally die and never buy another animal product, and it would not change the industry.
I would never click a link from a bad faith arguement in my life. The meat industry is hurting and you’re a weak little pawn.
Edit: the user commie is, at best, a troll. The graph they have shown for meat production is simply a reflection of the growong world population. Meat is hurting and the people who work that industry aren’t doing well, as in this fellow.
Put the words “cutting out meat impact” into Google and you will get these links in your first few results, so I’m not sure how you struggled to find them:
all four of those are just rehashing the poore nemecek paper and editorializing without the rigor of peer review. they are extrapolating far beyond the scope of the actual article and drawing conclusions that are not justified in teh paper itself.
i doubt it.
Beef costs 60 kg of co2 to produce 1 kg of meat. Fruits an plants still release carbon in production, but much less.

first, i am suspicious of those numbers, and don’t think they tell teh whole story.
even if they did, cutting out meat from my diet would have no impact at all.
Your skepticism based on nothing. Giving them your money supports their negative impact.

Of course spending trends affect the market. Meat processing facilities are slowly closing all over.
Not that this bullshit, empty-headed comment warranted a reply.
it’s probably just firm consolidation, not a decrease in production.
owid

That’s ok. There are more than enough sources to learn about it. When you are ready, you are going to do it.
your snide condescension isn’t persuasive
Are you open to being persuaded?
yes, but I am also highly skeptical, so you’d need proof, not rhetoric.
Which, as they said, are readily available if you actually wanted to learn.
I’ve looked and I don’t find the facts support the claim above, but maybe there are facts I haven’t found
