You see, I like people like you. You care about society and value your own species more than a barn animal and humanity comes first.

Farming takes up a lot of land if you want to feed big villages. Whereas cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens provide more food than a carrot or a plate of vegetables/fruits.

Not to mention, in areas where it is hot and dry, most crops can't grow there. Animals are less maintence in this and most of them just need dry grass and a pail of water to be okay.

Crops on the other hand, need to be careful not to overwater, replanting, optimal amount of sunlight depending on type of plant, insects damaging crops (or locusts storms in Egypt), root rot, and rich soil.

Lots of knowledge has to be put into farming and it can be more maintenance. Farm animals can be used for not just meat, but for tents, clothes, tools, and other useful items.

Meat doesn't have to take a lot of energy. You can cook it in a bonfire and call it a day. Wasting 1.3 billion isn't that bad since we have 7.63 million people ;D

And I didn't say you needed meat to survive (if I did then misuse of words). Many people fail on meat. Just because you can survive doesn't mean you can thrive.

I do have some questions for you: What do you think would happen if everybody in the world went vegan? Would it be for better or for worse? If it theoretically positively changed the environment, what would happen to its people and the unused farm animals?

If you live in America, you should know the USA is of course a 1st world country. That is why it has the resources to produce junk food. The USA is only one country and it's not accurate enough to say we need to stop producing junk food imo.

(If you live elsewhere, Britain, Australia, New Zealand etc still 1 country)

I have been to Europe (as in, Portugal, Germany, and Spain in 2-ish months) and I don't see as much junk food.

America is only obese because we feed our people so well c':

OKAY- in conclusion: The vegetarian diet is something that requires high maintence for many people. It can be emotionally exhausting if this 'diet' (which is not a diet) continues for over 6+ years. Many people aren't mentally equipped for this.

Which is probably the biggest reasons why the vegetarian and vegan diet should not be treated like 'everybody should do it'. That's naive and arrogant.

I should also say the 'omnivore diet' isn't for everybody (oh really?) But it works for the majority of the population- often without any huge ratio in bad effects and maintence.

I like Youtubers like the UnaturalVegan, she addresses that veganism isn't perfect and it is not for everybody. You seem pretty decent for a vegan/vegetarian (I'm sorry but I can't really tell the difference between vegans and vegetarians lol)

Without being a hypocrite, the norm diet isn't perfect either, but can it be perfect? Yes. Like a vegan diet, but vegan diets are harder. The 'normal diet' doesn't have any mentally draining side effects or strict morals.

Sounds like a cool diet too.
