    most cows mostly eat grass most of their lives. what silage or other feed they get is mostly parts of other crops that people can’t or won’t eat. counting that water as water used for beef is ridiculous: it’s a conservation of resources, not an expenditure

      I can’t tell if you’re joking or not lol. This is hilariously wrong. Most deforestation on our planet is for cattle feed. Literally a majority.

          And yet both are tied to cattle. Are you reading?

              Cattle is shit for climate change. Probably the single worst thing you can do is eat meat. Why? Deforestation and water use. If people stop eating meat, both of those things plummet, as do emissions.

                  Yes. Stop eating it. I suppose you’re the type of commie who doesn’t believe individuals banding together can make any sort of change though? That we should wait on our democratically elected officials and not do anything on our own?

                    me choosing to buy beans isn’t banding together to make change.

                    baby, i’m an anarchist. i think you need to come up with a plan to make the change you want to see, and hoping that capitalists stop making meat, or that others stop buying it, doesnt sound like an effective plan.
