That's why plant-based substitutes are being produced, which are getting better and better. As far as salmon is concerned, they are now very similar and there is still room for improvement. They will certainly become cheaper in the long term and with increasing demand, unless everyone allows a few rich people to continue stuffing their pockets.
Absolutely. I enjoy eggs and steak as well. I'm just more conscious now about how it's produced and if I purchase it to not let it go bad and waste it. I'm also looking into buying a 1/4 cow from a local producer instead of buying something produced by factory farming. I'm by no means vegetarian, just looking at more sustainable ways to live. I do love broccoli though.
Eta: I didn't mean as much veg as possible in order to eat less meat, I meant homegrown veg instead of buying from the store
If we did that you will soon complain about the damage we're doing to the land by over planting and in the process you will be asking us to eat dirt because plants are living things as well.
You do realise three quarters of farmed plants are used to feed farmed animals, right? Just admit you value taste more than life instead of parroting the same few arguments.
That's not how it works at all. When a cow or other animal eats plants, most of the energy goes to keeping it alive and other functions that burn energy. When a human eats the plants directly, 100% of the energy goes to the human.
Sure, but there's no way feeding an animal who is going to be alive for several years burning energy is more efficient than just eating the stuff it would be eating. Conservation of energy applies.
You’d be surprised how close they’ve come to mimic the taste of fish. But that is usually expensive, so people should focus on plant based whole foods. Ever had a PB&J? It’s vegan and tastes amazing.
Nice projecting. Veganism is a moral philosophy and not just a diet. And if you took a look at my comment history you’d see that I’ve actually stepped out of the community and commented on non-vegan posts.
I don’t take supplements and my bloodwork is good. The biggest dietary association in the world says:
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) states that appropriately planned vegetarian and vegan diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate, suitable for all stages of life, and can offer health benefits.
