Aww but I like lurking

There is no spoom!

https://skepticalinquirer.org/exclusive/myth-check-was-hitler-a-vegetarian/ Yeah you’re right later in life he identifies as one however still ate meat his chef fed him so the claim is dubious at best and may have been propergander for the war effort.

He wasn’t, it’s well documented he wasn’t vegetarian this was spread as anti vegetarian propegand.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30909722/ This meta analysis shows that dairy doesn’t help rates of osteoporosis and hip fraractures.

Interesting. Oddly enough the lowest rates of osteoporosis occur in countries with the lowest rates of dairy consumption and there appears to be evidence that it could be causal.

OK I’ll bite, surely there is no legit reason for this…

I came for the vegan comment however as it was already there, the biggest change I could see from mass adoption of the vegan ideals are that the population would have an across the world increase in empathy to not only animals but because they aren’t murdered as part of societal norms the empathy towards and the treatment of humans is likely to increase as well. This could theoretically lead to an increase in environmental action helping climate change but also help addressed a number of socialogical issues at the same time. We are a long way from this however in the uk veganism has increased 1567% in 10 years so with this rate of change it is possible.

hey I’ve seen that film!

To be honest I’m not sure. The increase I have seen has been across all ethnicitys, mostly younger people though.

Oddly enough I’ve had more people I’m interested in not want kids than do.

Yeah, you’re right it’s a different thing to doing it in cities, cooking is important. In my experience, I have lots of vegan rural friends however that’s due to my social circle and isn’t representive. In the uk apparently we are on 4.7% vegan now (1567% increase in 10 years) its become noticeably more over the last few years but probably not to the same level as cities.

vegan here who grew up on farms. Just because you don’t know them doesn’t mean they aren’t common.

I honestly believe that he was pro brexit and used his position as the lowest rated politician st that time so that left leaning people would vote against him rather than the policy. Even if that wasn’t his intention (I believe it was) It was what happened.

I’m still here!

I was literally about to post this song but checked the comments and here it is :) class song

it’s pretty crazy that no one in this thread has mentioned that going vegan would have a larger impact.

I really hope we can evolve past seeing animals as food.

Fuck your Honda civic ;)

So whilst you are right that transport does create lots of emissions it is still only a small percentage of the total. Any localy produced meats would have a higher footprint than legumes from anywhere. A localy based food system would be great but to get that we would need mass land ownership reform.
