An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
  2. No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This only makes sense when operating under the assumption that "space not directly used by humans is waste". The hope with plant-based meat and cultured meat is that the surplus land just goes back to nature.

So much wrong here I don't know where to start..

This user fails to realise non-human animals require water, they produce methane, and all the machinery required to slaughter and transport run on fuel and electricity which also produces GHG.

Vegan misinformation = scientific consensus apparently

This also assumes the only things worth growing are crops that are easily harvested by mechanized means.

You can grow plenty of food on a steep hill side, you just have to terrace it and can't use a tractor.
