https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30909722/ This meta analysis shows that dairy doesn't help rates of osteoporosis and hip fraractures.
Interesting. Oddly enough the lowest rates of osteoporosis occur in countries with the lowest rates of dairy consumption and there appears to be evidence that it could be causal.
OK I'll bite, surely there is no legit reason for this...
They are ace! Extremophiles are so interesting. One of the most prolific species on the planet and they are being considered as a potential to help terraform planets such as Mars https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334603822_The_Lichen_Symbiosis_Lichen_Extremophiles_and_Survival_on_Mars
I came for the vegan comment however as it was already there, the biggest change I could see from mass adoption of the vegan ideals are that the population would have an across the world increase in empathy to not only animals but because they aren't murdered as part of societal norms the empathy towards and the treatment of humans is likely to increase as well. This could theoretically lead to an increase in environmental action helping climate change but also help addressed a number of socialogical issues at the same time. We are a long way from this however in the uk veganism has increased 1567% in 10 years so with this rate of change it is possible.
So your data set shows 76% used for animals and 4% for industry. That's very similar to the figures I referred to.
There's lots of other sources. do you have a counter source?
do you have a reference for this?
Straight out not the case. lots of animals are on farmable land. Also animals eat lots of our crops eg 80% of the worlds soy. Here's one (of many possible ones) reference stating that we would only need 25% of the current agricultural land if the world went vegan. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/01/28/if-everyone-were-vegan-only-a-quarter-of-current-farmland-would-be-needed
