Meat is too engrained in their capitalist system to admit, even when on the verge of losing society as we know it.
“Experts” who say “Adoption of plant-based diets across Europe can improve food resilience against the [war]”. Hm.
Why does this sound familiar? Oh, right. Germany in World War One. Professorenschlachtung. Had catastrophic consequences.
Googling, they are both vegans. Huh. Weird. Why are only vegans finding that veganism helps in any mentionable amount. Where are the “yea, we should go vegan, but I just like my milk so much” guys among scientists in that field that should realistically do exist?
Oh, and the article. Oh the article.
They claim 23% is from agriculture, and link to a report that attributes 23% to “Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU).”
Weird. Why would they leave those other two extremely relevant economic sectors out in their quote?
