Ok good that you confirmed you're not the same as a wolf. But then also please stop using their behavior as a reason to justify that it is OK to continue killing billions of animals and making them suffer and creating huge environmental damage at the same time.

Here from the UN [0]:

"... meat and dairy provide just 18 per cent of calories consumed but use 83 per cent of global farmland and are responsible for 60 per cent of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions. As that report’s lead researcher, Oxford University’s Joseph Poore said: “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use. It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car.”

This was echoed by an IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land last year which stated that if we don’t rapidly change the course for our food systems, we won’t be able to prevent the climate crisis."

So scientific studies clearly show we can't continue like this or our kids and their kids will inherit a harsh world. So what's more important- that we can have some burgers & french cheese and the illusion of getting 'complete protein' because otherwise we can't be a top performing athlete or keeping our world inhabitable for future generations? If top athletes can thrive on a plant-based diet, so can we.

Also you mentioned the words ban, communist and some other highly charged words that have nothing to do with this discussion.

Nobody is talking about banning animal flesh. That's not possible. The world is too addicted to it and people like yourself will keep up the demand rather than advocating for more sustainable and ethical alternatives and continue to perpetuate the myth that factory farms can be better or we could feed the entire world with 'happy animal' farms.

The way to change behavior is to show the realities of large scale animal farming and its impact. Show it in schools. This would help to reduce the demand for animal flesh & dairy.

Kids instinctively want to cuddle and play with animals. They don't want to shred them to pieces. What do you think would happen if we showed children how pigs and other animals are treated and slaughtered? How do you think they would react to all the blood and screaming? Even most adults can't look at this as it makes their stomach turn. In comparison, how do you think children would react to vegetables & fruits being chopped up? Would they react with the same horror?

We are not hunter gatherers anymore. We have the brains and technology to come up with better food systems that require fewer resources and are more gentle and that can scale without destroying our biosphere.

>> Yes, sorry, but I don't respect the authority argument, especially after COVID-19 where all the “experts” told us that by jailing everyone we'd be safer

Not to go off topic, the only country I know of that quasi jailed their citizens was China.

Sweden's strategy in hindsight was not much better than other western countries.

- It now has up to 10 times as many COVID-19 deaths per capita as its Nordic neighbors.

- Sweden also didn't fare much better economically, suggesting its gamble didn't pay off.
