What makes you think I’m shitposting?
I am perfectly serious when I say that I believe veganism is incompatible with the stated goal of reducing animal deaths.
And I am serious when I say that I have increased my intake of wild fish to support that goal, even though it is not my only goal.
To me, the unspoken goal of veganism is to protect appealing animals at the expense of unappealing animals. That is why they show pictures of farmed cows, but not flooded rice fields. I can’t ever get behind that goal.
If there is some event that puts us all back to pre industrial times it will work.
A plant based diet would feed with the amount we grow 10 billion right now. How many would a forage and hunting society sustain? To give you a idea of the proportions: https://xkcd.com/1338/
I’m not sure why you linked me to a chart of mammals. Hunting mammals may be a good way to feed a small population, but as you point out it’s not feasible for the entire world.
Three fourths of all animal biomass is aquatic (fish, crustaceans, and mollusks), together accounting for 30-40 times more biomass than humans. Mollusks are the smallest component, but they still have more biomass than all the mammals in your link put together. Fish by themselves account for seven times as much biomass as all animal livestock put together. And crustaceans have even more combined biomass than fish.
I’m not even suggesting that people eat only fish. Rather, by including some fish in our diet we would reduce our reliance on farm-grown vegetables.
Globally, humans currently eat an average of 20 kg of fish/crustaceans/molluscs per year. That might be a bit too much, but I have no doubt that we could sustainably eat 10-15 kg per year.
this is the kind of stuff that screams shitpost :) you do you.
Only if you assume that farm grown vegetables are more moral than any other food.
It’s repeated so often that nobody even questions it. People assume you’re joking if you don’t take it for granted.
But if you think about it, the assumption does not hold up. Farms are not benign, no matter what they produce.
