Wow, this is very well put together and seems that there was a good amount of research put into this writing. But it is completely insane and is literally full of misdirected information to fit personal agendas. Outside of plant based proteins from nuts, how is protein 63% plant based? More specifically how is it natural protein without being very processed/manufactured which has been proven not to have the same health benefits as meat proteins. Also vitamin D is kinda important and milk being one of the main natural means of getting such makes It seem pretty important to have cattle or goats even if they never get slaughtered. Eggs from chickens are used I'm so many different means it's nearly impossible to get through life without needing them although I'm sure some extremist have came up with a way but for the average individual it's not logical. I'm All for providing animals both in captivity and in the wild a better means of cleaner living, I'm also an avid hunter and know the difference in wildlife conservation vs extremism. This here is something bill gates would help pay to push and he's nothing short of a lunatic and has openly discussed his concerns about excessive population and the need for major depopulation. If you want to be vegan that's your right to be and I'll be happy for you, don't push your agenda to where it has a negative effect on everyone else just cause you dislike something doesn't mean the world has to cater to your needs, it's you that has to accept that not everyone wants to be nor will be like you. You do your part how you like but don't expect me to do it too. If you do away with livestock you will kill half the world's population In just 1 generation from starvation. Read history if you want to learn something statistics only go so far in real world.

Hey, first of all, thank you so much for taking the time. I really appreciate that you came here to share your thoughts.

Science is clear: we don't need animal products to be healthy. Population studies show that vegans, on average, are significantly healthier than omnivores - and even vegetarians (even when you control for lifestyle factors, such as smoking, sport activity, etc.). I have plenty of high-quality sources available in case you need any.

For logical reasons, humans don't need the mother's milk of another species to be healthy. Similarly, meat and eggs are not required at all. For similarly obvious reasons, the production of animal products is incredibly inefficient. You breed billions of beings into existence (with livestock making up >60% of the animal biomass on land, btw., versus just 4% for all wild animals, combined) and you need to raise them, feed them, give them land and water - all of this is MUCH more inefficient than just growing plants for direct human consumption.

The livestock sector causes an insane amount of harm for humans, animals, the environment, and our planet's climate. Supporting this violent and destructive industry is unnecessary. In the name of compassion and empathy, but also in the name of our own well-being and survival, we should firmly reject this industry. That would - on all levels - be the right side of history, even if most people still choose to support this industry with their money.

Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you're having nice day!
