meat production continues to GROW even as MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ADOPTING A PLANT-BASED DIET.
Correlation != causation. Left unchecked, production will inevitably see some increase due to WHAT?! Increased population. However, anticipated growth hasn't met expectations. Gee, almost like there's a reason...
After that, I wonder how much production would decrease if we stopped giving animal agriculture their multi-billion dollar shot in the arm every year from the USDA versus the few million that plant alternatives gets. Wonder what would happen if we reversed that...
i don't think it's inevitable that population increase leads to increased production. this is another example of an assertion of a causal link where no such link exists.
i wasn't aware "fuck it, nothing can improve, everything will always suck" was a communist principle
that's not what i said.
that's the beauty of paraphrase, it captures the essence of expression without having to be a literal equivalent transcript of it
that's not a paraphrase. that's a straw man.
