5k germans died from the last heatwave thanks to animal farming and fossil fuels.

I could switch to a rich/wealthy meat only diet. That would probably be even better than swearing off all meat entirely.

How many of those scientists are or are going vegan?

[–] Defectus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

At least lower consumption. I rarely eat meat nowadays. Tops once a week and usually fish. But I still think a burger is great or a nice beef tartar.

I’ve always figured cows would be out in my lifetime, but chickens will likely burn down with the rest of us.

If there are only 25,000 scientists in the world, then I take this seriously. If there are a million scientists in the world then it's harder to take it seriously. So, how many scientists are there in the world today (don't count the ones being paid off by big money interests)?

Try comparing it to the number of scientists telling you not to be vegan

That's why I don't trust toothpaste adds. I personally know more than 10 dentists! So, how many there are in reality?? I bet at least, 50. What do I care what 9 say then?
