Did you just get to Earth?
Isn’t dairy consumption declining precipitously so in the US, so much so that the government has paid dairy farmers to dump stock in order to keep prices from going into free fall?
Easiest solution: ban milk. And cattle. And all animal agriculture.
Would solve a lot of humanity’s issues even if you don’t give the slightest shit about animal rights.
so would killing 6.5 billion people, but maybe there is a better solution (destroy Capitalism.)
Wait till you realise that destroying capitalism necessarily means destroying the environmentally disastrous luxuries that capitalism normalises and encourages.
You think we can just get rid of capitalism and all our capitalist consumption habits would magically be hunky dory? The environment doesn’t give a shit about what ideology you have as far as consequences for humanity are concerned, it gives a shit about whether you’re exceeding the limits of what the system can sustain. Animal agriculture will be just as inefficient, wasteful and unsustainable under any ideology (and just as intrinsically cruel under any ideology), the most a smarter ideology than capitalism can hope to do is recognise that fact and identify it as something we should stop doing.
There is no need to maximize human consumption calories per acre. If America’s farmlands can sustainably support 300million people with a variety of foods including eggs and meat (it can), then there is no reason to eliminate the animals from that food supply just because you could support 1billion people by being more efficient. In a future communist state of America I’d write in the constitution that every man woman and child is entitled to 2lbs of domestically produced beef and 1dozen eggs a week and that attempting to undermine, sabotage or profit off that right would be criminal.
may they all collapse.
