So we will slaughter all the livestock to get to your vegan utopia.

Are you under the impression we are hunting wild herds of cows and pigs?

you also know over planting causes soil erosion, which caused the dust bowl during the great depression

Do we? Pretty sure milk’s not required to live, plenty of lactose intolerant people seem to manage.

Think the farmers have learned anything in the last 100 years?

Yes we need milk

Can we comprimise and get them to stop farting?

 

[It will be fine]

Yes we need milk

A dairy cow will consume 100 lbs of feed per day and produce 7-9 gallons of milk. If you skipped the cow and just grew food for humans you would be using the available resources more efficiently.

Yea, we saw how accountable they are at Tiananmen Square.

Mixed results.

Where did you read that?

Pot calling the kettle black.

... Good for our pork industry.

Except the Chinese aren’t currently buying our pork.

Tit for tat, you know.

Thanks Trump.

OK, let's not kill them. Let's sterilize the bulls. While they are eating grass until they die off we have no meat and not enough vegetables. We starve.

Actually they are. If you followed the futures markets you'd know that. They are buying huge amounts right now.

Somehow I’m still alive without eating meat for over a decade. I don’t think you really appreciate how inefficient meat production is if your goal is providing calories for human consumption.

Yes but we're talking vegan ethics. In vegan ethics we must wait for the animals to die instead of slaughtering them. There won't be enough arable land to grow enough vegetables until the animals die off. So if we meet eaters can't eat meat, and there aren't enough vegetables to go around, what happens?

How do you figure there’s not enough arable land? Pretty sure you’re making that up to attempt to “prove” an idiotic point.

Can you point to all the unused farmland that's capable of turning out crop after crop? Good farmland is a limited commodity. As a matter of fact a lot of pasture is used as such because it's not good for growing crops. Geez, what did they teach you in school?

Didn’t you get in a peck of trouble following the futures market some years back?
