This looks like an extremely dense and well-cited summary of the arguments. But I almost marvel at the earnestness of the author, who is obviously just preaching to the choir (as is this post). Because let’s be real: the chances of converting a single omnivore to veganism by means of a fact-packed post on a vegan-identifying blog are essentially: nil.
Humans are social much more than they are rational. If we want people to move towards plant-based diets, we are going to have to act on that fact somehow.
Addendum: Again: downvoting does not make hard facts go away. I mean seriously, I find this totally mystifying. What’s the point of this discussion space if people just downvote anything that gives them a marginally negative vibe? Are people so insecure that they just come here for confirmation and validation? I don’t get it. Personally, I want people to become vegan or at least eat less meat. Do you? If so, then that is going to mean a fact-based discussion about how to do it.
