on top of that, we would run out of freshwater beforehand because you know as well as I know that freshwater is limited

not to mention my key point Without carefully considering where our food comes from and how it is grown, our diets can have unintended consequences. Take the strange case of two vegans in an Italian study who were found to have an environmental impact considerably higher than many meat-eaters. When the researchers dug a little further, they discovered the pair exclusively ate fruit. “They ate a huge quantity of fruits,” explains Francesca Scazzina, an expert on human nutrition at the University of Parma, Italy. “In fact, I remember [it was] 7-8kg (15.4 to17.6lb) per day of fruit. We collected their data in the summer so they especially ate watermelons and cantaloupes.” The water, land and carbon footprint of growing and transporting such large, perishable fruit meant the environmental impact was far larger than they had expected. Once the data from all 153 vegans, vegetarians and omnivores in the study was taken into account, however, it showed that eating meat was on average worse for the environment.

i dont care about some "strange cause in italy" here ill link you MORE evidence that meat eats have a higher environmental impact that vegans https://www.azocleantech.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=907 your own sources even agreed that meat has the higher impact of even the most costly of plant foods, so....

oh off note veganism isnt a diet your thinking of "plant based" diets and those guys were fruitarians, not vegans just fyi

i know that meat is causing a lot of problems but you still need to realize that the farming situation would eventually get to the point where it's just as bad as meat if not worse.

oh and by the way banana's are suffering from a plague as well, meaning it would happen to other plants if we only relied on them

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-49331286 it's very simular to the potato blight you don't want that happening to all foods
