This was the doc that sold me fully on going vegan.
If you like meat, learn more about where it comes and the practices you are promoting to access it, then decide whether or not to continue.
So nearby animal products are more inefficient than flying quinoa, soy, coconuts, etc into your country?
PS I don’t eat beef bc of this efficiency argument, but I find it hard to believe for other animal products as native and indigenous people have been carnivorously eating off the land for millennia without problem
Yes because farm animals need to eat and their food is also often imported. Something like 70-90% of soy is grown for animal agriculture, etc.
Grass-fed animals are also bad for the environment for different reasons.
To drive that last point home: if corporations were to all switch to a grass-fed model, we would literally not have enough land to support it. And guess who would be the first ones to have their lands seized? Indigenous populations and/or the poor, without a doubt in my mind.

Correct. Environmental impact is often unintuitive, so here’s a good overview

This argument doesn’t hold as much water when you consider that Earth’s population is 15-20 times what it was 2000 years ago.
