hey I've seen that film!
So your data set shows 76% used for animals and 4% for industry. That's very similar to the figures I referred to.
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
To be honest I'm not sure. The increase I have seen has been across all ethnicitys, mostly younger people though.
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.
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.
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.
na not last night. that was fucking incredible!
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.
Been enjoying your comments here. Hopefully the hiatus isn't too long.
So crazy that they just get a small fine for such large scale environmental damage. There should be prison sentences!
It's such an afront to democracy that the ruling party was allowed to change the years they are in power from 4 to 5. We would have had that election by now...
LPT: Grow edible plants!
This impacts on your mental health positively by caring for something and you get to appreciate how you connect with your food.
Studies have shown kids that get involved in growing their food have incresed intelligence and test scores and they are more likely to eat their veg if they have grown it.
Growing your own food can be done in small areas with pots or vertical options such as netting or grow towers ect.
Growing your own food is becoming increasingly important with the cost of living crisis and the climate crisis. Now is a good time to learn some skills!
