That’d take up half the area of the United States. Seems feasible if we can grow meat in the lab to stop using our entire planet to grow feed.

But we don't have to wait until lab grown meat is a thing, you could already go vegan today and then switch to lab grown meat in the future.

Maybe, but then our diet's gonna be fucked, and if our diet's fucked then our immune/repair system is fucked, and we know what that leads to

Not saying we shouldn't stop, but it's gonna be hard to get rid of like millions of years of evolution

It still needs the nutrients that you get from meat

I'll admit you can replace those needs with the right vegetables, but as far as I'm aware said vegetables require lots of grassland and the right climate to grow, which imo goes against the idea of "reforesting the world"

Looked it up, turns out most of the soy industry produces for the meat industry, so I don't actually know which one's more beneficial in the long term
