An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Animals eat a significant chunk of the plant calories we grow, you know.
The food that animals eat from "calories we grow" is ~~not~~ very rarely hand-picked, and so your statement is not relevant in this example, nor helpful in answering my question.
Most food is harvested by machines
The point is that less animals = less food needed. And less people need to grow food
And if some people still need to hand harvest food, well, then that's not an engineering problem, but a political one. And either way irrelevant to your statement, because it was then never about the food needed anyway.
How very convenient for your argument. Typical vegan. Fuck, this whole thread is juvenile. This species is doomed. 😘
