    do you not understand the basic concept that less =/= more, and that less emissions is better than more emissions?

    yes, but there is no evidence that being vegan reduces the emissions from the meat industry.

      This strikes me as nonsensical. If one person stops eating meat then the meat industry will create less waste. Maybe not exactly 1 person less, but unless they literally trash all of the meat that person would have consumed, it must be less.

        I guarantee a meat eater died yesterday. the industry is not going to shrink because of it.
