Thats the only reason veganism is being pushed so hard. There is a lot of money to be made by selling vegan foods. From the tractors, machinery, seed, sprays and fertilizers it takes to grow the food to the processors and all the energy it takes to make this stuff edible and/or make it look like meat and carting it all over the world of course. Theres a hell of a lot more money to be made there than there is off a few farmers with a few cows. The only inputs you really need to grow beef or lamb is sunlight and rainwater everything else is optional if they are managed the right way (yes even in the wet muddy uk) you would only need a haulier to take them off farm and a slaughterhouse to turn it into meat. No further processing needed. Not much opportunity for any big companies to make money there is there...
Money is at the root of all of it. Why do you think no one will stop people flying all over the world? Because the airlines have a lot of money behind them. Cows and the people who look after them (ie us) dont have much money behind us so we are an easy target to make it look like the people in power are doing something about climate change while really they are making it worse. But the economy is doing fine and will do better when all these big corporates make more money so everything will be fine
Even if you dont believe in climate change you cant really believe that we can keep damaging the enviroment, natural ecosystems, soils and water in the way we are now. Were all fudgeed if we do and if we dont stop fudgeing it all up pretty damn soon its going to be too late to get it all back. Just look how much rainforest we have lost in the last 20 years to grow soya and palm oil. You could even put the humble british hedgerow in the same category. A lot of them have been ripped up to make fields bigger for machinery. Were all guilty of it we are all to blame.
I haven't heard every news bulletin on the wireless today, but of the ones I have, they've all said that agriculture is responsible for 25% of global warming (or words to that effect).

OK then, that's not great, but it means that 75% (the last time I was at school, that's 3 times as much) is down to other things. Not a feckin' mention about Joe Public flying here there and everywhere on his bloody holidays
Yeah, the one thing that everybody absolutely can't manage without is the thing they all put the least value on and don't give a monkey's where it comes from or how it's produced as long as it's cheap.
It's just a too simple solution to do that.
Nail on the head.
If they were serious about it they would ban a lot of things. Cheap flights being the first obvious one. But they wouldnt dare do that imagine what would happen if no one was able to go on foreign holidays ever again
I’ve read a lot of different figures - latest was 14.5%.
