As for ragingpups view on animal products, that is a very 1st world view, I have no issue with individuals chosing a certain non-animal product lifestyle but if you think enforcing such a policy is possible for the world you are living in a fantasy world. We in the wider west are lucky and food comes easy to us, remember less than 100 years ago what famine did following the Bolshevik revoulation, where people ate their own children.
You make some good points, DM.

If you're interested, this (peer-reviewed! &#128578 paper gives a comprehensive review (in breadth and length - it's long!) on carbon emissions relating to different dietary types. For brevity, figures 7-9 summarise the main thrust of it all. https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...90123023001810.

I agree we are a long way off plant-based diets becoming the norm and replacing beef-based diets, although this piece gives some nice context for where it is fairly commonplace - https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/w...an-vegan-diet/.

If you like your satire, Simon Anstell's Carnage is an interesting take (although I appreciate he and it are not to everyone's taste, no pun intended).

I hope this doesn't come across as preachy in anyway. That's not my intention. Just thought some it might be of interest.
