This is going to happen again and again and people will suffer and die.

I'm sure other non-animal foods too. Wasn't there deaths recently from eating cantaloupe.. and we get salmonella from wheat products.. and rice has that bacteria or something that can make you sick even if you cook it properly... There's no escaping food making us sick, even if we all went vegan. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] WldFyre@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) The vast majority of those are caused by runoff contamination from animal agriculture, not from eating plants in general. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago Even if you don't include farm workers urinating and defecating in the fields, or contamination from animal agriculture (a lot of North American farms don't farm animals along side their crops anymore) A lot of it is naturally on the plants or the grains. There's bacteria and viruses everywhere. I'm saying eliminating meat from your diet isn't going to stop us all getting sick. Birds, rodents, and bats and insects all still shit on our produce. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) We were talking about diseases and pandemics.
