Researchers have linked dietary data from over 55,000 individuals with data on the environmental impacts of the foods they eat. The team, from the Livestock, Environment and People (LEAP) project at the University of Oxford, found that the dietary impacts of vegans were around a third of those of high meat eaters. They also saw a 30% difference between high- and low-meat diets for most of the measures of environmental harm.
Again, factory farming seems so, totally, horrific it’s obvious that it should be consigned to history.
But feeling that way is something that only a tiny minority of people seem to share. Most people just don’t care.
People love meat and are willing to totally ignore the suffering behind it. Never mind environmental impacts. .
