    I was merely pointing out that people call people extremists for not eating animals, but they don’t recognise that killing TRILLIONS of animals a year is not extreme.

  Do ypu have a source for that 4 trillion?

  • aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    it changes depends on the source. this quotes 1.2T per year. It’s in the trillions anyway.

  There are too many cultural factors involved to get a majority of people to stop eating meat.

  The best way to reduce the number of livestock killed is to reduce the number of humans.

    You can shift culture, at least slowly. I think our best shot at significantly reducing animals killed is probably investing more into lab-grown meat

    If you’re worried about cultural factors, you might find removing any significant percentage of the total population will likely run into even more implacable “cultural factors” than meat reduction would.

    This is regardless of the method of population reduction, save perhaps “slow decline” which seems to be promising atm, but that obviously has the downside that it’ll take a few generations to really have an impact.

      I’m not suggesting a method to reduce population its just an observation that there are simply too many people for basically anything to be sustainable.

        It’s not though, seeing that a very large proportion of the world’s population get by, and that about 1/3rd of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year. (Checked the UN source it’s 19% of food that makes it to people, and 13% of food pre-end point in the supply chain).

        And this is without starting to consider the energy inefficiency of feeding livestock to feed to humans.

        Also an awful lot of the world gets by with much less than US or much of Western Europe does. There’s a long way between our surplus of food and food insecurity.

        Fair, we certainly won’t see any perfect or even good solutions given human nature and the large population, but I do think we can achieve mediocre success if we really work hard

    I don’t think a single vegan is expecting animal exploitation to completely end in their lifetime. This will require a cultural shift that could take so fucking long. Despite that, we all think it is worth doing and being a part of.
