Yeah, agreed. Life wants to live. Pain and fear is something animals feel so they can get away from potential harm. If you're immobile like a plant, it doesn't make sense to feel pain because you can't run. You don't need to have a brain nor a central nervous system to deal with that.
70% of global crops are fed to animals. Stop eating animals and grow forests instead, to make our planet healthier.
It's closer to 30%.
About 80% of the biomass of the food grown for human consumption is fed to livestock as well. That may be where you're getting that number? That's being insanely generous. What we're talking about is like, corn stalks, squash vines, that kind of shit. The parts of the plants humans cannot physically eat but none the less must produce to feed ourselves.
I'm sure the irony of your bullshit bingo card is completely lost on you but you haven't said anything that strictly speaking could be interpreted as true in this thread.
More greenwashing
I'm surprised how much lemmy lets vegans get away with the greenwashing stuff
Is greenwashing a new term where you dont have to engage with vegans in conversation?
no, they're not. why would you lie about something so easy to find the truth?
What's the real number?
humans consume about 2/3 of global crop calories
Thats closer to the global number, but local numbers can be far worse. If you look at just the US its under 20% of crop calories went to people. The rest went to livestock and machines.
the claim was about global crops. your cherry picking now.
I'm being more specific. I dont think it makes sense to look globally. The west can offset a lot of its bad practices if you include the rest of the world that doesnt.
I understand if you dont care much about this point though.
this is irrelevant to whether it's a lie that 70% of global crops are fed to animals
