He said he's quitting BEEF not going vegan.
I'm sure he's going to fail at some point since he made the decision all of a sudden. Best luck on it though, it's going to be tough

He literally writes, "I'm going to go vegan" in the post in the OP.
Yeah, good intentions, but this is the height of generally useless, performative activism.
Good gesture but there's some caveats attached:
The problem is not any specific foodstuff, but the entire profit motive around agricultural industry that prioritizes short term profits over long term sustainability, which is the simply end result of free market capitalism. Until we reach the point where our food is literally grown in labs operated on offshore plantations this is unavoidable. What you eat matters less than where it's source from and how it fits into the entire production chain.

Individual consumer choice ain't gonna do shit. I say this as a pescatarian who hasn't consumed red meat in over 15 years.Markets are connected. There is overlap between US beef consuming countries and Brazilian beef consuming countries. Reducing beef consumption in the US definitely decreases Brazilian beef production.
Moreover, reducing meat/beef consumption is still a net positive for the environment, even if it did not directly impact the Amazon.

He should 1st actually look for more info and real stuff, because I live there and it's far from what's on TV with all these old vídeos and pictures... Even France's president used old photos and vídeos from fire in US forests saying that it was here... Give me a break ffs.
How can you talk???
They actually sounded like my Bolsominion mother talking today at the lunch table.
Like... vegan meat?Yeah I'm never going to go vegan. I already limit beef products for my overall health. I don't think asking a huge percentage of people worldwide to randomly change their diets is a viable direction to go. I see more benefit in finding alternatives to feed the masses what they like to eat.
Brazil has been the poster child for slash and burn farming for decades. Yes, that includes vegans and their cravings for delicious farmed fruits and vegetables.
Yes, only vegans eat fruits and vegetables. 91% of the Amazon deforestation is for cattle rearing, we wouldn't need nearly as much space to feed people fruit and vegetables.Brazil has been the poster child for slash and burn farming for decades. Yes, that includes vegans and their cravings for delicious farmed fruits and vegetables.
Something like 8% of soy is consumed by humans, the majority goes to feed animals. We wouldn't need anywhere near as much land if we just ate the soy ourselves rather than filtering it through a sentient being who we then stab to death.Soy beans from Brasil in his Tofu, but good thing he stopped eating corned beef from juniors

Veganism isn't protest, capitalism is the fucking problem.
Liberals thinking they can solve shit by eating less meat are delusional.
Yep.

Forget that... How do they type?!
