How does forcing everyone to be vegan prevent global warming? Raising crops with tractors has a much higher CO2 emission rate than raising livestock does.

It means they can increase the number of people buying vegan fake foods like fake meat instead of actual food.
For the companies that make that toxic processed crap it means they can make more sales.

What do the livestock eat? Most agriculture feeds animals.
If I start a garden and eat the crops directly, I get more energy than if I fed the crops to rabbits then eat the rabbits. Animals require more farmland and energy waste. We use them because they taste good and they make nutrition easier.

Livestock is the world’s largest user of land resources, with pasture and arable land dedicated to the production of feed representing almost 80% of the total agricultural land. One-third of global arable land is used to grow feed, while 26% of the Earth’s ice-free terrestrial surface is used for grazing.

You're right. Since livestock (other than chickens which are almost 1:1, albeit with an associated water cost) convert crops to calories at a much shittier rate than crops directly eaten by humans do, that land usage is actually much worse than it sounds, since a much smaller area would be used if we didn't consume animals.
Or are you one of those "actually it's all pastures for grazing and none of that land is actually crops grown for animals to eat" motherfuckers who acts like nobody knows what corn-fed beef is?

would it be better if the land wasn't utilized for cattle? there is probably not much other use for it. you can't grow crops there. this way cows are eating mostly "grass" and then finished with grain that people probably don't want to eat anyway

feed wheats and culinary wheats have different properties, farmers tend to prefer high yield over specific constituemts essential for bread or pastry making
but the reason this wheat or other cereal is fed to cattle is that it allows a higher energy supply to bring the animal to a fattened state for finishing, the proportion of this grain ration is a small fraction of their total lifetime forage consumption because it's cheaper

Lol no. They're fed tons of fodder. The stocking densities are always too high for grazing alone to be able to support the animal. The closest thing any American gets is "free ranging" in the states where it's other people's responsibility to keep your cows from jumping their fence and eating all their silage, but that's trespassing and theft, not grazing.

You know, that'd be a good point if any of this was based in reality to start with. The big money pushes the narrative. There is hardly causation between global temperature and CO2. And if you scream in fear with the wild graphs of recent temperature records, frosty they are intentionally heightened by measuring near asphalt instead of areas that reasonably represent actual temperature. And also, old historical data is digitally filtered by a low-pass averaging because as soon as you need to take carbon dated samples, you have a plus or minus some massive timeframe to deal with so the idiots in the research papers always add a bunch together and average them to get a more confident result. Unfortunately this has the massive downside of averaging over a window of time which removes all high frequency noise from the historical data. Whereas today we can go wildly up and down in comparison because we have the "realtime" data, even as manipulated as it is.

It does in a vacuum, but we do not primarily raise livestock via freeranging. The same agricultural system producing crops for human consumption is also producing feed for animal consumption. Think of livestock as a higher trophic level to relate it to the basic middle school science classes we all go.

Thats what makes raising animals require so much less fuel to be burned compared to raising crops. They walk themselves to their food, they walk themselves to their water, they walk themselves back home at night if they're being kept in a barn, they'll even walk themselves to the slaughterhouse. Plants need to have everything brought to them and they need to be harvested, processed and then shipped to get where they're going, all of which is done with tractors and trucks

Beef cattle in Australia start off grass-fed, grazing on pasture that farmers may supplement with grains or hay in times of shortage. About 50 per cent stay grass-fed their whole lives. The other 50 per cent spend most of their lives on grass. Then they move to a period in feedlots to bring them to market weight faster. This is also known as finishing. There they’ll typically receive some grain that humans could also eat.
Our research shows typical Australian grain-fed, or grain-finished, beef has a net protein contribution of 1.96. In other words, they create almost twice the human-edible protein they consume.
Anonymous at Wed, 17 Jul 2024 12:38:42 UTC No. 16284864
>>16284842
The feedlot sector increasingly uses by-products that humans can’t eat, while still meeting the nutritional requirements of cattle. Examples include spent grain from bio-alcohol, feed-grade grain and cottonseed.
Grass-fed cattle (that may eat very small amounts of grain) produce almost 1600 times the human-edible protein they consume. Cattle that graze only on grass or hay their whole lives don’t eat any human-edible protein at all. Their net protein contribution to the human nutritional supply is so high it's literally off the scale.
Anonymous at Wed, 17 Jul 2024 12:41:28 UTC No. 16284866
>>16278253
Part of the efficiency equation for Australian beef is that cattle mainly graze on land we can’t grow crops on. This is because of its terrain or soil type. In fact, Australian Bureau of Statistics' land use data show that since 2010 less than four per cent of Australia's agricultural land is used for growing crops.
A cow needs to eat around 25 kilograms of feed to produce one kilogram of beef. But us humans can eat none or only some of that 25 kilograms. So in terms of human-edible protein – one kilogram in and 1.96 kilograms out – the perspective looks quite different.
All up our work suggests that cows can be a good use of agricultural land for contributing valuable protein to our food supply.

Hey it's you, that utterly butt blasted faggot from a couple of months back, I remember spending a while trying to figure out how much water grazing cattle could introduce to a system.
If I remember right even in the best case scenario of high yield dairy cows grazing dense pasture you were looking at somewhere around or below a milimetre total per year which is basically nothing and there would be way way less than that for a low feed value rangeland.
The fact that you are still pushing this crap juist proves you are a complete retard to be honest.

The false dilemma of "Eating vegan" vs. "Livestock" is a perfect example of a binary thinking trap, where we're led to believe that there are only two options:
a plant-based diet or a diet that involves raising animals for food.
However, this binary thinking neglects the complexity of the issue and the nuances of each option.
>Mass animal factories bad
>Monoculture crop bad
>vegan supplement """enhanced""" """foood""" bad and required a huge supplychain of chemicals
The way the system currently operates, with large-scale industrial animal farms, is undeniably problematic. Factory farming is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, water pollution, and antibiotic resistance.
Furthermore, these farms often prioritize efficiency and profit over animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
However, this does not mean that all animal agriculture is inherently bad.
In fact, when done right, livestock farming can be a powerful tool for environmental regeneration and ecosystem services.
One of the most significant benefits of animal agriculture is its ability to convert "waste" into nutrient-dense food. Ruminant animals, like cows, sheep, and goats, can digest cellulose-rich plant material like grass and convert it into high-quality protein, fat, and micronutrients in the form of meat, dairy, and eggs.
This process not only produces food for humans but also creates fertile land and improves soil health through the natural cycle of grazing, manure deposition, and soil disturbance.
Local, regenerative farming practices that integrate animals into the landscape can:
1. Bioremediate contaminated soils by using plants that absorb toxins and heavy metals.
2. Improve soil structure, fertility, and biodiversity through natural grazing and manure deposition.
3. Support ecosystem services like pollination.
4. Enhance biodiversity by creating habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife.

Now, let's examine the flip side – the drawbacks of modern crop agriculture. The majority of arable land is dedicated to growing grains, which are essentially seeds high in starch and sugar content.
While grains are necessary for human consumption, the scale and methods used to produce them have significant environmental consequences:
1. Monoculture farming leads to soil degradation, erosion, and loss of biodiversity.
2. Intensive use of pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers contaminates water sources, air, and soil.
4. Large areas of land are used to produce oil-rich seeds, which are often refined into unhealthy seed oils.
5. The very same grains are often milled into nutrient-depleted flour, further exacerbating health and environmental issues. The consolidation of agricultural land leads to habitat destruction and habitat fragmentation, negatively impacting insect and bird populations.
The ethical management of livestock, on the other hand, represents the circle of life: animals eat, poop (producing natural fertilizer), and conveniently produce food during the process. This approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of species and the ecosystem services that animals provide.

The classic "this is a retarded take" retort – a rhetorical device that simultaneously displays one's intellectual laziness and desperate attempts to dismiss opposing views.
Why do people resort to this tactic?
1. Lack of understanding: They may not grasp the complexity of the argument or the ecological and economic costs of the vegan food trend.
2. Cognitive dissonance: The idea that veganism, often seen as a virtuous choice, could have unintended negative consequences challenges their worldview, leading to discomfort and dismissal.
3. Emotional vested interests: People may be heavily invested in the vegan lifestyle or identity, making them resistant to alternative perspectives.
4. Argumentative convenience: Dismissing a nuanced critique with a simple insult saves them the trouble of actually engaging with the points raised.
When someone responds with "this is a retarded take," it's not only a sign of intellectual laziness but also a missed opportunity for meaningful discussion.
By dismissing critiques without addressing the substance of the argument, they fail to engage with the complexities of the issue and sabotage the possibility of mutual understanding and growth.

The first donation to the American Heart Association came from seed oil inventor Procter & Gamble under the advice of ((Edward Bernays)). Soon after, the AHA promoted Ancel Key's flawed theory of cholesterol causing heart disease, which was based on the correlation found in Dr. Key's cherry picked "Six Country Study" that ignored countries like France and Germany because they did not fit his model.
Modern scientific research on heart disease often uses cholesterol lowering as a surrogate end point to studies based on the false cholesterol model of heart disease because they are institutionally wedded to the cholesterol model.
Read around the topic and you will understand just how fucked up the whole system is
At one point the American association of pediatrics were one of the only large medical groups opposed to the theories being promoted by keys et al, because there work wasn't tainted by the animal fat = heart disease dogmka since their core focis had been on actually replicable scientific studies looking at optimal health and growth in young children, but eventually they managed to infiltrate even them with Key's acolytes and the AAP switched from recommending a diet rich in nutrient dense animal fats to a policy of dissuading animal at consumption above like 25% of total calories to avoid heart disease in later life.
It will take decades to undo the damage the anti fat dogma of the of the AHA has done to the field of nutrition
And after more that half a century of the AHA shilling the anti fat dogma, zero progress has been made on heart disease in America, it is still the leading killer of Americans and that pretty much proves that the AHA's dogma is incorrect.

So do the massive amounts of critters, rodents, birds and other small animals that will occupy such crops. That in turn will cause a dramatic increase in predators and other animal populations. Either that or you'll end up with an ecosystem that needs strict controls, meaning more labor, machines, oil, chemicals, land, etc. to maintain it.
Meanwhile, to meet the new demand you'll have to destroy entire other ecosystems and displace countless other animals from their natural habitat, which will cause a domino effect that requires even more resources to manage.
In a 1 to 1 comparison, meat is vastly more efficient in meeting daily dietary needs than a plant based diet and consumes considerably less resources to maintain.
That is, unless you're perfectly content eating bugs. Which I suspect someone like you would actually be fine with.

Adopting a vegan diet can significantly mitigate global warming due to the following reasons:
>Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Livestock Emissions: Animals produce methane and nitrous oxide, potent greenhouse gases. Livestock farming also contributes to CO2 emissions through deforestation for pasture and feed crops.
Crop Production Emissions: While raising crops does produce CO2 from machinery and fertilizers, these emissions are generally lower than those from livestock farming.
>Resource Use
Land Use: Animal agriculture requires much more land compared to plant-based agriculture..
Water Use: Producing animal products requires significantly more water than growing plant-based foods.
>Efficiency of Food Production
Feed Conversion: Animals are inefficient converters of feed into meat, leading to greater overall resource use and emissions.
Caloric Efficiency: Growing crops directly for human consumption is more efficient in terms of calories produced per unit of input compared to animal farming.
>Environmental Benefits of Plant-Based Diets
Lower Emissions: Plant-based diets can reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70%.
Reduced Land Use: Shifting to plant-based diets could free up land currently used for grazing and growing feed crops, which could be reforested to sequester carbon.
Water Conservation: Plant-based diets generally use less water, as I said.
>Counterarguments
Sustainable Practices: Sustainable livestock farming practices can mitigate some negative impacts.
Regional Variations: The environmental impact of agriculture varies by region.
Nutritional Needs: Vegan diets need careful planning to ensure nutritional adequacy.
In summary, promoting veganism can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve land and water, and improve the efficiency of food production, thus helping to combat global warming.
