Straight out not the case. lots of animals are on farmable land. Also animals eat lots of our crops eg 80% of the worlds soy. Here's one (of many possible ones) reference stating that we would only need 25% of the current agricultural land if the world went vegan. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/01/28/if-everyone-were-vegan-only-a-quarter-of-current-farmland-would-be-needed

It absolutely could. Not with the current diet but if there was a shift to less meat then we could substantially reduce the amount of land used in food production.

vegan here who grew up on farms. Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they aren't common.

[-] Rozlif@feddit.uk 26 points 3 months ago

It does matter. In the uk being vegan is a protected trait and they have a legal obligation to not force you to change your morals. unlike what others have said vegetarian isn't a protected trait and gets less protection.

Been enjoying your comments here. Hopefully the hiatus isn't too long.

I really hope we can evolve past seeing animals as food.

So crazy that they just get a small fine for such large scale environmental damage. There should be prison sentences!

It's such an afront to democracy that the ruling party was allowed to change the years they are in power from 4 to 5. We would have had that election by now...

Vegan is the answer to what this should be.

This impacts on your mental health positively by caring for something and you get to appreciate how you connect with your food.

Studies have shown kids that get involved in growing their food have incresed intelligence and test scores and they are more likely to eat their veg if they have grown it.

Growing your own food can be done in small areas with pots or vertical options such as netting or grow towers ect.

Growing your own food is becoming increasingly important with the cost of living crisis and the climate crisis. Now is a good time to learn some skills!
