    Well I have turned several ppl vegan so I would argue from personal experience that it actually does. If your decision to kill an innocent creature is contingent on vegans being annoying then you never actually cared abt the non-human victims which would be the bigger issue here

    It remains the case that the majority of farmland is for animal agriculture, and grazing only on grass would increase land use not decrease it, as it stands the vast majority of murdered farm animals are fattened up on soy and corn feed. Suggesting that the most environmentally sound thing to do is to just feed them all grass something which we physically don’t have the land for is ridiculous

    Theres a reason thats not common, its way more expensive and less efficient in terms of land use, also you might think of grassy fields as being super sustainable but theyre not a natural ecosystem, theyre a monocrop like any other where shrubland or forests have to give way to grazing fields, in the uk where I’m from the majority of our land is dedicated to these kind of fields already and its decimated our natural forests. There is no world in which feeding cows pigs chickens and sheep on grass only including finished feed reduces land use it would increase it. J.poore 2017, a comprehensive metastudy on land use and emissions of the global food sector found that a global transition to plant based diets would lead to a 70% reduction in land use, they looked at thousands upon thousands of farms accross the world yes including “grass fed” farms

    First of all, humans are animals, the term you’re looking for is non-human animal. Secondly, grass fed is a myth, theyre fattened up on corn and soy all the same, you should know that the vast majority of deforestation ; the vast majority of monocropping, is done to sustain animal agriculture

    at the end of the day no matter what vegans do our existence is a threat to the cognitive dissonance of meat eaters, I have two options: I can be so nonchalant that it seems like I’m actually ok with people killing animals needlesly and therefore theres no reason to question their beliefs or I can actually put a bit of passion into my defense of animals and risk people like you for some reason getting annoyed that my advocacy isnt effective? (Like if you are against veganism why correct me while im making a mistake right clearly theres something else going on here psychologically why you feel the need to correct me) Meanwhile lots of people actually do change their mind on veganism from a no nonsense approach see people like joey carbstrong and earthling ed for examples of how that can be done well




  • It is a cyclical thing both consumers and producers are responsible in different ways in most cases the use of plastic in packaging is producers fault for example but eating animal products is a choice for 99% of people on the planet and going vegan is the single biggest way to reduce your carbon footprint (see joseph poore 2018)



  • “Youre going about it all wrong: this method is how you convince people to stop slitting innocent animals throats. I know this method works because it didnt work on me.” fyi if I could snap my fingers and somehow force everyone to leave animals alone I’d do it in a heartbeat, wouldnt you do the same to end all murder?
