    Check out the Jalopy videogame, where you own, drive and repair a car inspired by the Trabant.

    I would have expected this to be proof-read, as it is a direct excerpt taken from a book, but it is filled with mistakes. Spelling, grammar, word order... Maybe it is an excerpt of…

    Absolutely, I never said methane was without effect. However, its effects on global warming are greatly exaggerated by environmentalists and/or those with vegan ideologies. In my o…

    "[...] animal products and feed", straight from the image. Sadly, no distinction. I would assume that it's mostly subsidies to feed. I am unable to find any sources on subsidies to…

    Great link, thank you. Regarding deforestation and so on, I think we must also take into account that "industrialized" non-pastured husbandry (is that the correct term?) is probabl…

    Yes, you are right. I have conveyed my point only half-way and I apologize. What I meant is that methane is known to have a bigger heating effect than other greenhouse gases, like …

    Out of curiosity, which animals are more efficient? Do you have a source on that? There are, as far as I know, regions where the soil is only capable of growing pasture, hard to pl…

    Which subsidies is meat getting? The ones that go to the agriculture industry responsible for feed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_subsidy#United_St...

    How about we don't change the diet but change where the food comes from? When talking about meat and damage to the environment, the only relevant figures are the ones associated wi…

    Plants are used to feed livestock for their energy, not their nutrients. GMOs would be used here to limit the amount of energy derived (carbohydrate) with regards to nutrient densi…

    I expected that. Is it for health or for ethics? Also, can you please address the other points in my previous comment? Feel free to reply to any of my other comments in the thread …

    Bananas and dates (to name a few fruits) are plants, are whole foods, and are filled with fructose. A single potato with skin has 6 grams of fiber and around 60 grams of starch. As…
