Just a reminder, if you care about reducing lives lost a diet that includes meat responsibility in the right proportions will result in significantly less lives lost than eating a salad.

Compared to mountain-raised beef eating beef will result in significantly FEWER lives lost than a salad. One salad probably cost quite a few insects and mice their lives to make. A mountain-raised cow is wild grazed, so the land isnt suitable for crops, and no animals other than the cow dies. So one cow makes 3000 meals, thats a much better deal than the multiple deaths per plate you expect from a salad.

@freemo@qoto.org Interesting take. Though I already knew of this in the back of my mind. But yeah, land where it's not suitable for agriculture can be used for cattle or similar instead.

Though INTENSIVE farming (like we do with our cattle) is never a good thing... (Like you said, right proportions)
We're too overconsuming everything.

@trinsec Absolutely.

My step dad actually raises mountain-raised cows like this. So he is the one who enlightened me on the morality considerations of it.
