    This is so weird. Do people realize animals need to eat? Why don’t we eat that food directly? Eating animals makes for less food, not more. Like how 75% of soy is cattle feed, and then vegans get blamed for deforestation for soy beans. It’s ridiculous. Willful ignorance

      hmmm… over here cows and sheep are fed on banana leaves and some tree I cannot name. I don’t know about you but either of these don’t float my boat too well

      Eh, only sorta. Plenty of animals can be fed on things we can’t eat. They tried raising rabbits in NK for example because they can survive off rocky ground that wouldn’t grow crops.

      Third world problem though. First world countries could be vegetarian easily.
