Almost all infectious diseases physicians have had the dreaded call about patients with infections that were essentially untreatable because of antimicrobial resistance, says a Monash University professor.
what crops that are fed to beef chicken and pork are parts of plants that people won’t eat for the most part. The same fields that grow the soybeans we use for oil are growing soybeans that are used as feed. The same soybeans that are used for oil are used for feed.
This is sometimes true. However, e.g., about 4% of the farmland in California is used for alfafa, which is just for livestock. Alfafa is also a very water intensive crop.
Additionally, there are other uses that livestock corn feed could be put to if there weren’t so many damn cows, so it’s not like we’d be throwing away megatons of silage if it weren’t for cattle.
Go vegan. It’s better for the planet too.
being vegan doesn’t help the planet at all.
How does reducing land and water use through your food choice not help the planet?
it doesn’t actually reduce the use.
Please don’t tell me you’re gonna bring up the stupid soy fields in the rain forest argument :'D
being vegan doesn’t stop soy from being grown in rainforests
exactly, because almost 100% of that soy is for meat production
85% of global soy is pressed for oil. the vast majority of the soy that’s fed to animals is the industrial waste from that process.
Wheree do you get your numbers from?

They seem off my guy.
Weird to not provide real numbers for someone calling me a liar
It takes less land and water to feed someone wheat, soy or corn than to feed them beef, chicken or pork.
