Ten reasons why the cattle industry is not sustainable.

[Toddsterpatriot]

It can, and will.

Actually, people are waking up, en masse, to all the negatives (and there are many) of the animal industries in general, and more and more people are going vegan everyday. So, I'm sorry but you're just wrong. All those industries are slowly dying. Not just meat and dairy, but also things like fur, products tested on animals, etc. It's all about supply and demand. There is less demand for those things the more people learn about what actually goes on, and there is a fast growing demand for vegan or cruelty-free products.

Vegan Statistics: Why The Global Rise in Plant-Based Eating Isn’t A Fad

I think a lot of this has to do with the internet, because it has exposed so many things that decades ago people simply didn't see. So thank God for the internet!

I know that right now this is a very unpopular position to hold around here, but veganism is the future. Not only can we see that happening with our own eyes, it's also the future from a biblical perspective (Isaiah 11:6-9, Hosea 2:18, etc.)

Yeah, yeah. We've discussed your propaganda before...

I know it's hard for you to accept that those barbaric, archaic industries are slowly dying, while the demand for plant-based products is growing, but that's what's happening. Waving it off and calling it propaganda is like a toddler putting his hands over his ears and saying "la la la la la." But you do you.

I know you're just playing, but just in case anyone actually thinks that... nobody wants them to starve to death. The reason there are so many farm animals is because we (human beings) breed them into existence, for the sole purpose of exploiting and eating them. When the demand decreases, less farm animals will be bred into existence. As it is, most food goes to feeding livestock. There would be TONS more food, if we didn't give it all to livestock.

I don't like tofu anymore than you. I am talking about an industry that can't continue growing with human population.

The problem is Democrats jumped at the Green New Deal without thinking what it means to every single American.
They either don't know or don't care that life would become extremely difficult for most of us if we have to give up our air-conditioners, our cars, air travel, and eating meat. This would turn America into a Socialist Shit-hole country with 340 million poor people and only a few rich party members. That is the plan of the Democrats. That is communism.

Just to be clear, I don't agree with what they're trying to do. I am not a Democrat or leftie, and I absolutely disagree with corrupt politicians who don't actually care about the environment, but use that topic as a pretext for their own selfish agenda.

That said, it is a fact that the animal industries are horrific, destructive and detrimental on numerous levels. But as a libertarian-minded person, I don't agree with forcing people to do things, all I'm trying to do is raise awareness, because tons of people are blissfully unaware of what actually goes on. Again, as the knowledge increases, the demand for animal products will decrease. Thankfully, that's what is happening, slowly but surely.

Unfortunately, the government is subsidizing these barbaric industries. For example, dairy: Dairy industry doesn’t deserve American taxpayer bailout

Oh I agree the government shouldn't subsidize a damn thing. There need to be rules in place to stop corporate bastards from taking over the Mom & Pops, too.

Yes ultimately it is about raising awareness. I didn't know about the negatives until I starting learning the details of what goes on in cattle and dairy farms from my family. Then I started reading about the enormous water consumption, the enormous amount of methane released into the air, the drugs they inject into the cattle and all the rest. If people don't know, nothing will change.

All those industries are slowly dying. Not just meat and dairy, but....

ROFLMFAO

No darling...YOU are the one who is flat out wrong!

FYI: when you venture away from
your safe space and comfort zone and come here
you are in the presence of coders


So how many vegans are there in the USA? Based on a sampling of 11,000 adults, aged 17 and over, only two percent of Americans are vegetarian. Only one-in-four vegetarians — or 0.5% of the USA adult population — is vegan. Only half of one percent of the USA population — or 1.62 million of us — is vegan.

There are many former vegans than there are current vegans; there are more than five times as many former vegetarians/vegans than there are current vegetarians/vegans. Said differently, 84% of vegetarians/vegans abandon their diet. Extrapolated out, that means that there are 8 million lapsed vegans as opposed to the 1.6 million current vegans.

Only about one-in-eight Americans has ever considered themselves vegetarian/vegan. Roughly 88 percent of Americans have always considered themselves omnivorous/carnivorous.

So perhaps it comes as no surprise that the typical vegan is
female, left-leaning, non-religious.

I think a lot of this has to do with the internet, because it has exposed so many things that decades ago people simply didn't see.

I think in your case, you are absolutely right...

There’s a big difference
between inform and conform

People like you, spend too much time online
conforming to the ideology of others
because you are incapable of critical thinking

I know that right now this is a very unpopular position to hold around here, but veganism is the future. Not only can we see that happening with our own eyes, it's also the future from a biblical perspective (Isaiah 11:6-9, Hosea 2:18, etc.)

You can’t see that shit happening with your own eyes...
you depend on someone else to tell you what you’re seeing

Furthermore, in no way, shape or form
is a vegan lifestyle foretold in Biblical prophecy!

You don’t know what the hell you're talking about...
those Scriptures you referred to,
have absolutely NOTHING to do with vegans!

LEARN TO CODE!

I know that right now this is a very unpopular position to hold around here, but veganism is the future. Not only can we see that happening with our own eyes, it's also the future from a biblical perspective (Isaiah 11:6-9, Hosea 2:18, etc.)

You can’t see that shit happening with your own eyes...
you depend on someone else to tell you what you’re seeing

Furthermore, in no way, shape or form
is a vegan lifestyle foretold in Biblical prophecy!

You don’t know what the hell you're talking about...
those Scriptures you referred to,
have absolutely NOTHING to do with vegans!

LEARN TO CODE!

Wow. Could you be any more arrogantly presumptuous? I don't think so. First off, don't even attempt to speak about me, when you don't know me at all. If you think I went vegan to "conform" (or whatever other ridiculous assumption you spewed,) that is laughable to me. I've always been the exact opposite of what you describe, I've always been an independent thinker. I don't follow the crowd. Anyone who knows me knows that.

Secondly, in regard to your overall view, you have zero insight. And even less compassion and heart. But go ahead and believe what you want... it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to me. You'll see, eventually. Mark my words.

As for your strange off-topic blabbering about coding, I do know how to code. A couple languages, anyway. But what does that have to do with the price of rice in China?

ROFLMFAO

No darling...YOU are the one who is flat out wrong!

FYI: when you venture away from
your safe space and comfort zone and come here
you are in the presence of coders


So how many vegans are there in the USA? Based on a sampling of 11,000 adults, aged 17 and over, only two percent of Americans are vegetarian. Only one-in-four vegetarians — or 0.5% of the USA adult population — is vegan. Only half of one percent of the USA population — or 1.62 million of us — is vegan.

There are many former vegans than there are current vegans; there are more than five times as many former vegetarians/vegans than there are current vegetarians/vegans. Said differently, 84% of vegetarians/vegans abandon their diet. Extrapolated out, that means that there are 8 million lapsed vegans as opposed to the 1.6 million current vegans.

Only about one-in-eight Americans has ever considered themselves vegetarian/vegan. Roughly 88 percent of Americans have always considered themselves omnivorous/carnivorous.

So perhaps it comes as no surprise that the typical vegan is
female, left-leaning, non-religious.

I think a lot of this has to do with the internet, because it has exposed so many things that decades ago people simply didn't see.

I think in your case, you are absolutely right...

There’s a big difference
between inform and conform

People like you, spend too much time online
conforming to the ideology of others
because you are incapable of critical thinking

I just want to add a couple things that I didn't say in my last post. I never claimed that there was a large percentage of vegans in this country right now. So evidently reading comprehension is not your strength. I said that people are waking up, especially young people (who are the future) but I was talking about the overall direction the world is heading in. Of course the numbers NOW, percentage-wise, are still low, simply because the norm in this world is to eat animal products.

As for what you said about vegans and vegetarians quitting, you don't understand what's happening. There are many people who try going vegan or vegetarian, for health reasons, or to try to lose weight, or for other shallow reasons. For the most part, THOSE are the people who go back to animal products, because they were never vegan in the first place. Veganism is not a diet. It's an ethical position that involves a complete shift in the way you think and view the world. It's like an awakening, that changes you in a deep and major way. Obviously the people who do it for health reasons or because they think it's trendy and they want to try it out are likely to only do it for a time, because they never made the actual connection, they never had that "aha moment" and we know that because once you do, you simply no longer view animals as food. EVER. But I don't expect you to understand that.
