Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad
matlag@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoToday we burn tons of oil. Say tomorrow we have switched to all electric. Do you think we’ll keep extracting oil and that will create an environmental burden because of that oil sitting around?
That’s the same reasoning.
Today we grow megatons of corn,… for different things, including feeding livestocks.
Tomorrow, if we have less livestock, we’ll adapt the crops mix, just like rest of the world has been or is still doing fine without having mega-herds of cows.
We don’t have too many cows because we had too much crops. We increased the crops to match the herds!

that’s all speculation

No, we had cotton before we had 1billion cows, and it was working fine. We had corn before we had 1 billion cows and we were doing fine.
And other regions in the world have crops and never needed mega-herds of cows to deal with by-products.
We don’t need more cars because of all the oil we extract. If we don’t need oil, we’ll stop extracting oil. That’s not speculation.
