whether or not we can live without meat (we can), we certainly can’t live without plants. Even if you eat only meat, you depend on plants (and roughly 10x as much) in a lower trophic level. There is currently no way to avoid starving to death or dying of malnutrition without harming plants

well duh. Not my point. It was just so funny that you actually used kinda the same rhetorics as meatlovers usually do.

Anyway, i still wanna adress your arguments. We can live without meat in the same manner we can live without plants. Good luck on getting your minimal daily value of b12 or d3. You can always get them in the form of pills, too bad animals still will be hurt for that. Fatty acids and fats are important too, as the modern studies show (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5577766/ ), what about them? My point is, you can have no meat in your diet just as you can have a meat only nutrition, both need to be adjusted with bioactive supplements.

Also, since most guys here don’t know any better than simply to press the vote down button without actually answering, and you seem to be the one that actually wants to discuss the topic, may i ask you a question? How come that we blame meat industry, and i cite (surprisingly, from wikipedia page for meat), for global warming, pollution and biodiversity loss (last one actually surprised me), while it is our endless fields of wheat are the reason we have little to no forests where they were normal not so long ago, therefore less co2 being processed back into o2, and it is this very fields we cover in chemicals therefore the pollution and biodiversity loss. I mean, it almost seem like meat industry is just a handy target to blame, while certain guys can continue doing their business.
