    Not eating meat won’t change the systemic problems but it will mean fewer animals will be subject to the industry.

    more animals are breed and slaughtered every year than the year before. being vegan has never reduced that

      What bizarre logic, what thorough lack of object permanence.

      Just because meat eating outpaces veganism doesn’t mean vegans haven’t reduced the consumption of meat?

      I don’t even think you know what you’re saying now. If the whole world went vegan today, there’d be no meat animal slaughter. YOU are the cause of this problem.

      “Oh world hunger is getting worse, I better stop my charity donations!”

      “Oh greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise, might as well go back to oil and gas!”

      Like, you realise how foolish that argument is, right?

        that’s exactly what it means. consumptiion of meat continues to grow. it has not been reduced.

          I simply cannot believe that “AnarchistsForKamala@lemmy.world” would have a brain-meltingly bad take like this. Shocking.

          Where do you think the meat on your plate comes from? What do you think causes meat production to increase?

              Literally a 5 year old could grasp this.

              When you buy something, it tells the person who sold it to you to stock more of it, which tells the people making it to make more of it. Since meat production involves killing animals, it means that when you buy meat, it causes more animals to be killed. If you go vegan and stop buying meat, it causes there to be less demand, which reduces the number of animals killed compared to if you didn’t.

      Yeah no shit, but the number would be even higher if fewer people were vegan.
