you’d have to show the causal link between vegans existing and the production flattening. what if it’s just that we run out of agricultural land, or a meteor strikes a major production region? we need to know what actually causes the change in the graph, not simply speculate that it could be buying beans.

If we ran out of new land to use wouldnt it plateau?
Isnt the line going up constantly evidence of constant addition of new land to hold more animals?

whatever you call it, we can’t attribute it to vegans.

I’m assuming it is this in combination with new efficiencies (like the swine hotels in China)

Ew, thanks for something new to look up, I hate it!

that’s the assumption I’m using.

When we run out of land, won’t we have to replace land used for meat production for land for plant production so we can continue feeding an expanding world?

I mean I don’t know: these are some pretty wild hypotheticals we are concocting.
