I can’t prove I’ll watch it but I will today.With all respect to you I’m not here to keep an argument going, I know the water usage alone to raise flesh from living creatures is greater than what is necessary to grow grain, and eliminates the need to kill and confine animals. Would the health science alone on veganism alone not make you consider there is some correlation between the health of ecosystems? My opinion is we should spay and neuter all the domesticated animals consumed and give most of the land back to the Buffalo, maybe work with Native tribes, even if they kill and consume Buffalo similar to their old ways.
Properly raised, grazing animals restore water cycles. Therefore they do not “use” water that they do not replace.
No matter what you say, I’m going to continue to ask the world to go vegan and show mercy to the animals as much as possible. I forgot to mention that according to some studies, veganism is the fastest growing peace movement in the world.U.S. vegans currently are around 10% of the population according to Veganoutreach.org. I don’t know exactly who they got to do the research but you are welcome to ask them. Thank you again for your contributions to the world but I think it’s best to end the conversation here as I wish to avoid any resentment by defending what I stand for. Have a good day.
I agree to end the conversation. I only ask that you be factual.
I was factual. That was a cheap shot. If you’re so happy to eat meat and animal products I have no power to stop you. Public demand for it is still too strong anyway. My only hope of success is to help people make up their own minds about what or who they’ll eat.
A cheap shot was not intended. I see you making generalizations that cannot be supported. There’s no time to address these issues because you’ve decided to end the conversation, which you have every right to do.
