They have the stigma of bringing up veganism out of the blue and proselytizing people about it when it isn’t the subject being discussed.
Like, uh, the comment you replied to.
- best_one_there 3y agoGotcha. Maybe there's a way to fix this with language? If someone says that they use the metro or cycle to work, I'm like, cool man, trains are sick, let's chat. If someone says they "support a car-free lifestyle", I'm probably already starting to think about something else and glazing over.
- colordrops 3y agoSee, there is irony in your comment, because I didn't bring it up out of the blue. It's very related to the subject being discussed.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoYes, to a vegan, veganism is relevant to every discussion. That’s what I said.
- colordrops 3y agoThanks for providing more evidence for my original point. Animal agriculture are one of the top emitters of greenhouse gases, even more than all transportation combined, so to imply that it's irrelevant is ignorant at best.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoWell that’s not even close to true. https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector 5.8% vs 16.2%
- colordrops 3y agoRead your own link again. That's just one aspect of it. Several percentages are listed for agriculture besides livestock, which are relevant, because 70% of crops are used to feed livestock. Furthermore, the page you link yourself directly encourages eating less animal products. Here are the rolled up stats, which indeed show animal agriculture using more than transportation: https://www.colorado.edu/ecenter/2022/03/15/it-may-be-uncomfortable-we-need-talk-about-it-animal-agriculture-industry-and-zero-waste https://www.colorado.edu/ecenter/2022/03/15/it-may-be-uncomf...
