Straight out not the case. lots of animals are on farmable land. Also animals eat lots of our crops eg 80% of the worlds soy. Here's one (of many possible ones) reference stating that we would only need 25% of the current agricultural land if the world went vegan. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/01/28/if-everyone-were-vegan-only-a-quarter-of-current-farmland-would-be-needed
It absolutely could. Not with the current diet but if there was a shift to less meat then we could substantially reduce the amount of land used in food production.
vegan here who grew up on farms. Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they aren't common.
It does matter. In the uk being vegan is a protected trait and they have a legal obligation to not force you to change your morals. unlike what others have said vegetarian isn't a protected trait and gets less protection.
I'm still here!
Been enjoying your comments here. Hopefully the hiatus isn't too long.
I really hope we can evolve past seeing animals as food.
So crazy that they just get a small fine for such large scale environmental damage. There should be prison sentences!
