Please don't tell me you're gonna bring up the stupid soy fields in the rain forest argument :'D

    being vegan doesn't stop soy from being grown in rainforests

    exactly, because almost 100% of that soy is for meat production

    85% of global soy is pressed for oil. the vast majority of the soy that's fed to animals is the industrial waste from that process.

    Wheree do you get your numbers from?

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/1254608/soy-production-end-uses-worldwide/

    They seem off my guy.

    Weird to not provide real numbers for someone calling me a liar

    i can't click your paywalled link

    here's what the UN's FAO says

    oil is 17.2%. since a soybean is only about 20% oil to begin with, you need to crush 85% of all soybeans to get that much oil. do you see how the vast majority of what is fed to animals is called "soy meal" or "soy cake"? that's the industrial waste from processing soybeans to oil.

    Its statista, they limit traffic. Try a different browser.

    Btw funny you link OWID, you should read their article. It doesn't mention the feed as a side product of oil production, and I'm having trouble finding your quote.

    Even if its 100% true and just not mentioned in any articles on the matter, then I guess large scale veganism still only removes loads of industrial processes/co2 production, unspeakable animal abuse and insane amounts - and i mean ludicrous amounts - of wasted drinking water.

    Exactly. Thats the problem.

    Global consumption and production are increasing

    Do. You. Follow?

    you can make any excuse you want. the fact is that being vegan has not helped the environment at all.

    You seem to have a very tough time matching what people say/write and what you feel like they mean with it.

    Let me rephrase the original claim so you may understand what the actual topic is you're so furiously debating: Reducing global meat production would be a net benefit to the planet and every being living on it in the long term.

    Reducing demand for said production at a large scale WOULD (this is in conjunctive because it's still a small movement so IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET - we all know that) over time force said production to scale down.

    Literally no human i have ever interacted with before you thought not buying a steak for a few months instantly fixes the world. We are painfully aware. Which is why we chose not to participate in that insane bullshit which causes all kinds of issues and harm anymore.

    Thank you for your time and energy, this has been awfully unproductive.

    that's not causal.

    when someone takes you at your word, and then you need to walk back your position to a much weaker claim because they point out that you are writing checks the facts don't support, it's you who is practicing intellectual dishonesty. compounding it with strawmen, and then rhetorically implying it is, in fact, the person who called you out who is being dishonest is the height of intellectual dishonesty. you should be ashamed, and you should edit the comments where you lied so as not to continue to mislead other users.

    You still talking about the comment that I didn't write? Still implying causality you never proved? Cool.

    you keep waffling about whether you lied, but I assure you, you did. you've even owned up to it earlier in the thread, but now you're backsliding.

    environmental destruction continues whether you are vegan or not.

    yep due to the meat industry keeping going regardless of a fairly small demographic quitting their products

    so maybe you should stop lying to people about being vegan helping the planet.

    Cuz youre lying about a very emotionally charged topic and calling me a liar. If you were not emotionally engaged, youd simply point out the data.

    Are u moving goal posts to feel like you're winning something or genuinely expect the comment section in an online forum to solve societal issues?

    Less meat produced = better.

    How much more better things could be a different wat is irrelevant; using that as an excuse to never do anything is actually damaging.

    Yeah, what does that have to do with veganism? Tiny niche doesnt stop global trend. Who knew?

    you're the one telling people being vegan will help, but now you're admitting it doesn't. you should just go edit the comments where you lied about this and apologize to the people who might have been misled.
