> You couldn't come anywhere close to meeting current demand for meat with free foraging animals.

Where did I say this? I'm used to straw man arguments from vegans but not this blatant.

> The level of delusion and misinformation on this issue is tragic and mindboggling

You are just using talking points that you just use when you are confronted with reality.

> but go ahead and enjoy your selfish tech bro lifestyle.

The most selfish, privileged people I've come across are vegans. A vegan diet is a wealthy privileged diet and an unnatural one at that. A diet that relies on globalism and can't be sourced locally. People can eat an omnivore diet from local sources. Nobody on earth can eat a vegan diet from local sources. Not a privileged swedish vegan, not a privileged brazilian vegan or a innuit vegan if there is such a thing.

The worst diet for the environment is the vegan diet. Think about it or go learn a thing or two about agriculture. Instead of delusional vegan propaganda. The worst diet for humans is a vegan diet. Ever notice why there has been no vegan society in human history? Because humans aren't herbivores. We aren't cows.

But privileged and selfish vegans can exploit globalism to get vegetation from all over the world to feed their selfish privileged existence and of course pop them pills to poorly sustain yourself as you cling on to your faux moral high ground.

One cow feeds a bunch of people. One vegan dish has thousands of dead animal parts in it. You might want to read about how many insect, rodent, etc parts is in your salad. You might want to read about how many poor farmers are killed to get you that avocado and how many animals are killed to sustain your selfish privileged diet.

A person eating a steak knows one animal died for his meal. A vegan eating a salad knows thousands of animals died for his meal but instead pretend to be the moral superior.




Again really interesting claims you make, but please provide credible sources to back it all up.

For example:

RE: The worst diet for humans is a vegan diet.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine[0] recommends a more plant-based diet, the opposite of what you claim.

It's called reality and human evolution. Do me a favor and find me a single vegan society that has existed anywhere on earth? You won't because a vegan diet in nature is a suicide diet.

> The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine[0] recommends a more plant-based diet, the opposite of what you claim

How is that the opposite? A more plant-based diet isn't a vegan diet. Otherwise, it would say an "all plant-based diet". Typical sneaky vegan m.o. I'm for eating veggies, fruits, etc. I'm also for eating meat. Because humans are omnivores and that's the best diet for humans. No amount of vegan paid propaganda sources is going to change that reality.

Well your username (antiscience) speaks for itself... but

What's wrong with trying to reduce cruelty in our society?

RE: because it has Physician in the name?

No, because PCRM draws the expertise from around 12,000 physicians and their core experts all have a medical background.

Here is another source from the American Dietetic Association, who say you can be perfectly healthy on a plant-based diet.

But maybe those sources are not anti-science enough for you?
