Inb4: I realize that every acre of wheat and corn my basic vegan ass has obliterated probably killed some field varmints. It’s still less destructive than someone eating a burger.
I don’t know. That field that grew the grains you eat was probably carved out of a savanna/prairie/forest and permanently altered the ecology of the area and preventing an untold number of living things to exist. So you would bear the same burden s everyone else.
No, it really isn’t. The “some varmints” number in the millions. That’s not even going into how current crop farming practices reduces natural habitats, exhausts soil, destroys biodiversity, and is responsible for the endangerment of species due to all of the above.
And that’s just farming to keep us fed. If we look into other industries we see that they’re all doing the same as well.
We have to make a massive shift in how we do industry as a whole, because simply not buying a burger doesn’t amount to anything beyond being self-congratulating.
