People working in the meat industry: could/can you actually feel the effects of the rise of veganism of the last ~10 years? How (much) did it affect the area you work in?
Honestly, it’s the same with Lemmy. Lemmy has no shortage of overly confident people who have everything figured out, despite having little to no data or first hand experience with the topic at hand.
I'm sure. I don't think I should trust any other platform any more (people being partially informed, delusional, idiots, or just trying to paint reality in their preferred colour are everywhere, from town hall meetings to 4chan), but I was just genuinely curious. The question arose in me today when I looked at the egg carton that said it was from free range hens and made me think of all the petty lies and misguiding info that companies have been pulling to greenwash their product. I just wonder if veganism managed to make a dent, at least. I'm hoping so.
"my unspecifed buddy is an expert on the matter. He once told me that vegans are causing all kinds of problems with farmers, due the the decreased meat consumption the anamials aren't getting kill as much, causing over population and increased methane emissions. This is bad for the environment, vegans are dooming us all."
