    Universal veganism is extremely possible. It's only impossible in the same sense that communism is impossible, ie, it's only impossible because people believe it is.

    Addressing your edit: vegan food is cheaper than meat. Poor people all over the world eat vegan because they have to.

    I should note I'm not vegan (yet)

        Cattle farming produces more greenhouse gas emissions than shipping and aviation combined.

          That's fair. Do you know what the emissions look like for dairy vs beef cattle? Or is it the same? I ask because peasant farmers in many places (I'm thinking India mostly) use cattle for dairy and compost.

            idk honestly I was hoping I’d somehow find an answer to this question over the past few days but nope

            anyway I imagine they’re pretty similar in factory farms with grain-fed cattle, and would probably diverge heavily for grazing cattle
