A review analysing 570 life-cycle assessments of more than 38,000 farms in 119 countries found that methane emissions from vegan diets were 93% lower than from high-meat diets.

Pathetic behaviour. The tradition of inadequacy.
The purported moral benefits
of locavorism are generally unrelated to the actual locality of food production, and the belief that it is ethical can produce real moral harms when locavorism comes at the expense of the worldΚΌs most vulnerable food producers.

Why should we care about animals? The answer is simple: if we are serious about confronting our personal and planetary impact, we cannot hit a wall when it comes to the largest population burdened by that impact, nor can we exclude the avoidable and mercenary exploitation that drives it.

The carbon footprint of dairy cows βis five times higher than tofu; ten times higher than beans; and more than twenty times higher than peas for the same amount of proteinβ.

We humans have all the tools to know exactly what they are going through. Most of us pretend they're not there.

Do we not have a moral obligation to make kinder choices when modern society allows us the privilege of doing just that? #FriendsNotFood
How other humans see us only matters so far. The lynchpin of our humanity is how we regard non-human animals and the natural world. That may sound outrageous because weβre used to defining humanity by how we treat each other, assuming βeach otherβ means only other humans.

Like so many supporting this terrible industry, he is completely switched off. And, he finds entertainment in it.
Fruits, including avocado, have an environmental impact up to 100 times lower compared to cows, sheep, milk, eggs, pork, chicken, and fish.

Competition for already scarce land between food and fodder threatens global nutrition. In Europe, for instance, two-thirds of cropland is allocated for animal feed. Redirecting these resources could make 70% more calories available for direct human consumption.

Veganism is dismissed as naΓ―ve idealism, yet any remaining non-vegan calls to abolish factory farms are still taken seriously. The reason should be obvious: the regenerative omnivoreβs wish for factory farms to disappear is not genuine. Meat, in any form, is expected to be available indefinitely.
Exactly this!
That's it. Even those who want to play the we-don't-all-have-the-same-ethical-framework game should be outraged at this.
The 14.5% figure of animal agricultureβs share of global GHG emissions stemmed from an IPCC AR4 overestimate which was later revised down by the IPCC AR5.
It has never been mentioned by the FAO authors. More credible sources conclude that even the lowest revised estimate would have been 16.5%.
The reasoning that some dairy cows make "bad mothers" so calf separation is okay is completely unacceptable. It would condone kidnapping during postpartum depression.
80% of agricultural methane arises from animal farms, of which almost 90% comes from enteric fermentation by cows and sheep, and about 10% from animal manure. Methane from rice is 92% lower.
Itβs not the rice.
Itβs the cows.

βThis is how men behave.β It's said as if not being creepy is a pretence. Vile.
Wow. I had to watch that straight away, again. He is utterly compelling.
In the 19th century, people who refrained from meat were ridiculed and ostracised from mainstream culture for being βodd,β βeccentric,β and βhalf-crazed.β
Cut to today, and we can only marvel at the breathtaking progress of anti-veganism.

If we must exercise imagination to acknowledge what is already
present within animals, it shows how dependent our moral ideas are on superficiality.

REAL ANIMAL RIGHTS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
In the UK, 63% of agricultural land is grassland for feeding livestock and 22% feed crops. Animals are used and prematurely killed to feed our proud nation of animal lovers, leaving just 15% of farming land available for food crops.

Black veganism isnβt purity politics.
Itβs remembering that liberation was never meant to be compartmentalized.
Food. Land. Labor. Bodies. Futures. All connected.

We coo over pets and admire rolling pastures but flinch at the thought of what happens beyond the fences. We watch glaciers melt and corals starve, yet still believe our daily choices have nothing to do with it.

That's excellent.
A note on welfarism:
Better exploitation is not better than no exploitation.
