The View From My Brain: Dear Vegans

genderbitch:

Didn’t I reblog a link recently about a book that debunked a huge chunk of the vegan statistics about water usage and etc and pointed out huge destructive effects of soy production and a few other things?

A lot of vegan stats are pretty heavy bullshit, on the same level as a lot of meat industry’s bullshit “facts”

True, soy production is very damaging.  But far less soy would need to be produced if we ate it directly instead of feeding most of it to livestock.  Maybe some facts are bullshit.  But the UN report I cited contains 34 pages of references to the peer-reviewed scientific literature.  That’s about as unbiased as we can hope for.  As an environmental scientist, I agree with many of their conclusions.
