Cutting out meat is already making an intense impact

i doubt it.

Beef costs 60 kg of co2 to produce 1 kg of meat. Fruits an plants still release carbon in production, but much less.

Edit:Grammar

People underestimate just how intensely wasteful meat is, at least the average meat you find in a grocery store. There is a few exceptions like fishing it yourself but even that is getting unfeasible with how high demand is in the general population

first, i am suspicious of those numbers, and don’t think they tell teh whole story.

even if they did, cutting out meat from my diet would have no impact at all.

Your skepticism based on nothing. Giving them your money supports their negative impact.

i know for a fact that a meat eater died ten years ago. since then, the meat production has only risen. i could literally die and never buy another animal product, and it would not change the industry.

Of course spending trends affect the market. Meat processing facilities are slowly closing all over.

Not that this bullshit, empty-headed comment warranted a reply.

Meat processing facilities are slowly closing all over.

it’s probably just firm consolidation, not a decrease in production.

owid

That’s ok. There are more than enough sources to learn about it. When you are ready, you are going to do it.

your snide condescension isn’t persuasive

Are you open to being persuaded?

yes, but I am also highly skeptical, so you’d need proof, not rhetoric.

Which, as they said, are readily available if you actually wanted to learn.

I’ve looked and I don’t find the facts support the claim above, but maybe there are facts I haven’t found

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
