oil is 17.2%. since a soybean is only about 20% oil to begin with, you need to crush 85% of all soybeans to get that much oil. do you see how the vast majority of what is fed to animals is called "soy meal" or "soy cake"? that's the industrial waste from processing soybeans to oil.
Its statista, they limit traffic. Try a different browser.
Btw funny you link OWID, you should read their article. It doesn't mention the feed as a side product of oil production, and I'm having trouble finding your quote.
Even if its 100% true and just not mentioned in any articles on the matter, then I guess large scale veganism still only removes loads of industrial processes/co2 production, unspeakable animal abuse and insane amounts - and i mean ludicrous amounts - of wasted drinking water.

that has never happened.
Exactly. Thats the problem.
Global consumption and production are increasing
Do. You. Follow?
you can make any excuse you want. the fact is that being vegan has not helped the environment at all.
You seem to have a very tough time matching what people say/write and what you feel like they mean with it.
Let me rephrase the original claim so you may understand what the actual topic is you're so furiously debating:
Reducing global meat production would be a net benefit to the planet and every being living on it in the long term.
Reducing demand for said production at a large scale WOULD (this is in conjunctive because it's still a small movement so IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET - we all know that) over time force said production to scale down.
Literally no human i have ever interacted with before you thought not buying a steak for a few months instantly fixes the world. We are painfully aware. Which is why we chose not to participate in that insane bullshit which causes all kinds of issues and harm anymore.
Thank you for your time and energy, this has been awfully unproductive.

that's true. what you said before was not.
Reducing demand for said production at a large scale WOULD (this is in conjunctive because it’s still a small movement so IT HASN’T HAPPENED YET - we all know that) over time force said production to scale down.
that's not causal.

Yeah, what does that have to do with veganism? Tiny niche doesnt stop global trend. Who knew?

you're the one telling people being vegan will help, but now you're admitting it doesn't. you should just go edit the comments where you lied about this and apologize to the people who might have been misled.
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

i can't click your paywalled link
here's what the UN's FAO says

i never said that.
environmental destruction continues whether you are vegan or not.
also what part of my comment prompted you to post that random response?
yep due to the meat industry keeping going regardless of a fairly small demographic quitting their products
so maybe you should stop lying to people about being vegan helping the planet.
It does, if enough people did it.
You're so angry lol
what makes you think you can tell anything about my emotional state?
Cuz youre lying about a very emotionally charged topic and calling me a liar. If you were not emotionally engaged, youd simply point out the data.
i've provided exactly as much data as you have.
Check again bro https://feddit.de/comment/4912410
everything i've said is true. you are the one who seems to want to bend reality to match your beliefs.
It aint. Literally. U pulled 85% out of your ass. Try 4% (industrial use) 77% livestock feed.
i have math on my side, but also the USDA says so as well.
Although some of the crop is used directly, more than 80 percent of the crop is processed into soybean meal and oil through crushing.
do you have a plan to make that happen? how many people is enough?
Are u moving goal posts to feel like you're winning something or genuinely expect the comment section in an online forum to solve societal issues?
Less meat produced = better.
How much more better things could be a different wat is irrelevant; using that as an excuse to never do anything is actually damaging.
that hasn't happened
