People don't realize that you lose the taste for meat when you go vegan. Somehow our taste buds change and all plant foods taste better than ever.

[@thegazetteyt]

@@kjellman96 So you eat nothing but meat? Like noting else? No spices or garnish or grains? Because if you do then you can't say "It works both ways" because you are not a carnivore. You are flavoring your meat with plants to make it taste good. Think about that...

[@lingoniGERMAN]

I LOVE the fact that the Economist is talking about this! This wouldn't have been possible 20 years ago. Things are changing and people are waking up. I have been vegan for 4 years and vegetarian for 20 years. The last 4 years have been the healthiest years of my life. Anyone can do it. Any little step help, even reducing your animal protein consumption to say once a week helps! People are afraid of change but change can lead to amazing things. #govegan

Depressed plant- supply and demand would take care of that. Animals are grown and born due to demand. If less people ate animals, less female animals would be raped to reproduce. The more people pay for meat, that money pays the person to do this. Rape and killing animals is made possible by the person who pays for meat/eggs/dairy/fish products. Less animals products bought less animals.

Can you post back in 5 years? Veganism usually takes about 7-8 years (depending on how much fat you had on your body to begin with) before it becomes unsustainable. Oh, and you may want to start saving up for new teeth. A diet consisting mainly of sugar will wreak havoc on your dental hygiene. When you do go back to a diet with animal products (even just milk and eggs), make sure you go organic and fresh. None of the factory produced shit. You can expect then to live a long life, although it will likely be shortened if you spend too long on the vegan diet. I pity you if you live in the USA. The general quality of meat over there is appallingly bad, although there are exceptions. Your government is literally trying to kill you. For anybody reading this: Eat locally produced, organic food. Include fresh meat and in-season fruit in your diet. Eat more organs, like liver and kidneys (ONLY from healthy animals). Highly nutritious. You follow this diet and cut out processed foods, you're going to be very healthy for all your life. Mental health is also just as important. The human body is really, really good at surviving. That's why vegan diets and sometimes vegetarian diets don't straight up kill you the moment you start. Your body will do anything and everything it can to continue surviving.

Valid concerns for our world. I wonder why meatless burgers are more expensive if veganism is being sold as using less resources to produce?

And what are his qualifications? I ask because issues like land & water use obviously relate to agriculture, but there's no agriculture department or degrees at Oxford

@@someguy2135 ok, so he studies wild animals with absolutely no knowledge or training on anything in any way related to agriculture, therefore he cannot say how much land is needed in agriculture, cause he's not qualified in any way in that!

Very encouraging to see this information being shared by the well respected Economist- maybe the decision makers will take note. Rather than negotiate dairy quotas how about promote dairy and meat reductions.

I'd recommend Vegetarianism over veganism. It's something us Indians have practiced for thousands of years!

[@ujjwalsingh2913]

Ever wondered what really happens to the cows which give milk to Indians ? They're just slaughtered and their meet is exported to other nations. *India is world's biggest beef exporter*

World's Largest Organization of Nutritional Professionals Says Vegan Diets are Suitable for All Ages So the only reason to eat meat in the western world would be taste. So the question is “are your taste buds more important then the live of a sentient animal”

[@KathyXie]

And nowadays fake meat taste as good as meat and also have very similar texture

[@lilaclizard4504]

suitable/adequate with extensive preparation & planing are hardly high praise! A basic everyday diet that most people eat without any planning gets the same level of approval from them as a "well planned vegetarian diet" does!

Biodiversity and predator and prey relationships are important. Sustainable farming includes predators and prey. It's part of life.

[@popolin8614]

The problem isn’t about eating meat or eating vegetables and fruits, the problem is the amount of demand for mass production. Agriculture in general can damage the environment. If the demand for vegetables and fruits grow, naturally producers will try to increase production. Growing vegetables and fruits require large amount of land, if they are unable to find anymore land available then they will start foresting or expand the existing areas by filling in bay areas in order to make more room.

[@cshaffrey3438]

if we go vegan, we can reduce the amount of land needed by 75%. Plus 91% of Amazon deforestation is for animal agriculture

[@popolin8614]

Ciaran Shaffrey which will be probably replaced by other industries that are just as or even more harmful than the animal agricultural industry. What I’m saying is that the capitalist economy and demand for mass production is in general unsustainable.

[@margherita2729]

Used to be a crazy meat eater. But now I feel better than ever, and vegan food is really good if you actually put some effort in reading a recipe and start cooking. Some people just decide to be blind and say "vegan food is disgusting" and they maybe tried it once from the supermarket. It's really easy to talk nonsense, but why don't you actually try first?

[@Mat-xy7gb]

Well yeah, of course you’re healthier if you were a crazy meat eater. You vegans don’t understand that you’re “healthier” (because really, you’re not) because you weren’t eating correctly in the first place! If you had a balanced diet you would have been way better off. Also, if you eat more veggies, you eat more pesticides and more cancer.
