How about this:
Going vegan isn't even an option for a significant portion of the population. Many people are lucky if they even have access to fresh food.
Honestly, this is my reasoning. And I know it's a shitty reason. I personally think veganism is a morally and ethically superior lifestyle. But I'm a weak man without the willpower for it.
Yup, it's a common thing I see here. Everyone is happy to stockpile on the likes of Trump for not helping with climate change but when they get told they can help by reducing their precious meat it's suddenly "fuck the earth, gonna die anyway".
Ehh just because people don't blanketly agree with veganism doesn't mean that they are bad people.
You must be new to humanity.
i see some girls are still peddling overpopulation myths
westerners will come up with anything to deflect the bold-faced fact that they consume an extremely disproportionate amount of resources

You are not looking at what it takes to modify people's behavior in a realistic or rational way. A more realistic goal would be to look at the problem from the perspective of minimizing meat and dairy consumption rather than eliminating it altogether. Our recent ancestors (think early 1900s) ate meat two meals a week on average. This was due to the economics of meat consumption rather than less desire to consume animal proteins. The single most effective way of minimizing meat and dairy consumption without draconian prohibition would be to make it much more expensive. The path to doing that is to eliminate the livestock and livestock feed subsidies contained within the farm bill. You will achieve cutting meat consumption drastically in doing so because meat production will be drastically more expensive for the producers and that cost will be passed on to consumers.
I believe mealworms are far more dense in protein than beans.
It's not a myth at all. The whole system is tied together. The reason there are so many people in developing nations is because they are doing the bidding of rich westerners. Their growing populations are enabled by western demand because they are working manufacturing jobs which allow them to grow their families and desire to live lives like westerners already have. And who can blame them? But it is this very system that will produce 12 billion middle class convenience seeking people at the end of the day. And that is a disaster in the making.i see some girls are still peddling overpopulation myths

Learning how to cook changes this outlook.
Some are but if you remove the "westerner" term and just look at economically strong countries relative to everyone else in terms of resource usage it's really not close. These countries using far too many resources is the root cause not children being born in third world countries that barely eat, use minimal electricity and are forced to be self sufficient. That's going to have barely any impact at all. It's not like all that many of these resources are going to them in the first place. If these countries grow to the point their a problem sure but you don't start there. Overpopulation isn't even near our biggest problem here. Unsustainable and excessive lifestyle is.
Cool dude, want to talk about the topic at hand or are you just here to take some pot-shots at vegans?
