    I see a line that could be higher if not for the personal choice of a collective of vegans, vegetarians, and generally healthier people.

    you can’t prove a counterfactual. but it is a fact that vegans exist, and the chart continues to rise.

      How many would have to be vegan before youll admit it would affect the supply of meat? 75%? 90%? Is there just a crossover point for you or you think if noone ate meat that graph would still go up?

        i honestly don’t know. i do know vegans exist, and i suspect there are more now than ever, but the line still goes up.

            i have no reason to believe that the production of meat will decrease due to the nordic dietary guidelines. keep me posted, though.

              In those areas it likely will. I doubt it will take the line down on your graph either though.

              Who knows what the tipping point is. Maybe China publishes a guideline similar to that and it does change things enough to show it on the graph.
