There's lots of other sources. do you have a counter source?

[–] Rozlif@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

To be honest I'm not sure. The increase I have seen has been across all ethnicitys, mostly younger people though.

It absolutely could. Not with the current diet but if there was a shift to less meat then we could substantially reduce the amount of land used in food production.

Oddly enough I've had more people I'm interested in not want kids than do.

Yeah, you're right it's a different thing to doing it in cities, cooking is important. In my experience, I have lots of vegan rural friends however that's due to my social circle and isn't representive. In the uk apparently we are on 4.7% vegan now (1567% increase in 10 years) its become noticeably more over the last few years but probably not to the same level as cities.

vegan here who grew up on farms. Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they aren't common.

I honestly believe that he was pro brexit and used his position as the lowest rated politician st that time so that left leaning people would vote against him rather than the policy. Even if that wasn't his intention (I believe it was) It was what happened.

It does matter. In the uk being vegan is a protected trait and they have a legal obligation to not force you to change your morals. unlike what others have said vegetarian isn't a protected trait and gets less protection.
