[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 6521819, member: 71668"] well, his facts are based on a study by the University of NSW, so probably as good as any the thing is, do precise facts really matter ? As in the sausage debate ? does anyone in the general public bother to fact check anti farmer slogans ? I doubt it. The thing is, it just has to make people think & to question other things they are told It is what I was saying above about perceptions, subliminal messages & how they ultimately affect consumers buying choices to us it may be obvious that many animals are killed in the production of grains, pulses, fruit & vegetables - but to people living modern western lives completely cut off from the natural world, it probably just doesn't occur to them . . . "plant based" just sounds so natural & healthy & not causing any harm to animals or the environment it is very easy to grow beef completely free of chemicals, synthetic fertilisers, with minimal fossil fuel use & even the potential to actually be carbon negative, if used in conjunction with a fine tuned holistic regenerative grazing system - all the while supporting plant, animal & biological diversity on those grazing lands it is very difficult to grow soybeans with out inputs of insecticides, herbicides, fossil fuels & the related carbon footprint that goes along with it, not to mention the complete loss of local biodiversity neonics bees canola vegetable oil animal fats no need for bee harmful insecticides if we were all happy to eat butter & dripping . . . or, look at Palm Oil & the MASSIVE criminal eco disaster that is . . . Vegans don't want to destroy rainforests & wipe out primates - but global multi national industrial food producers do . . . the push for more plant based foods is DIRECTLY responsible for massive reductions in insect populations, which WILL have serious implications on all life on earth Vegans - YOU are bee killers . . .
