  what they asked is how many died for the bun. not whether you think that line of reasoning is sufficient to discourage veganism.

    Yes, and odds are they are asking as a way to bring up the idea of how many animals are killed in order to harvest plant crops. If you had bothered to go to the link, it would have at least somewhat answered your question because the short version is: fundamentally, significantly less than the amount of animals killed to produce meat.

    All it takes is to think it through. If harvesting crops kills a lot of animals (which as the link shows, is already significantly less than some assholes made it up to be), then raising animals for food automatically kills even more animals because it takes way more crops to feed the animals that are raised for meat or dairy, than it takes to just feed humans directly.

      If you had bothered to go to the link,

      Ed is quoting some pretty misleading statistics to support your point. if this is the best that you have, you might want to reconsider your position.

        Would you care to elaborate on what’s misleading about these statistics?
