      Your logic implies that a hundred cows are killed to source a single burger. That’s not how that works. Be vegan, but don’t be stupid.

      I wonder how many mice died for the bun (and forests too)

          what they asked is how many died for the bun. not whether you think that line of reasoning is sufficient to discourage veganism.

              If you had bothered to go to the link,

              Ed is quoting some pretty misleading statistics to support your point. if this is the best that you have, you might want to reconsider your position.

                  about 85% of all soybeans are pressed for oil for human uses. but a soybean is only about 20% oil altogether. that leaves 69% of the soybeans as industrial waste. feeding that industrial waste to animals is actually conserving resources.

                  so it’s not even true that the land used to make food for animals isn’t used to make food for people: it’s the same land.
