Current Events > $50 billion, but the entire world goes Vegan forever.

(+) Yeah! (+)

First off, that wasn't me that said it

And second, that guy was (most likely) saying it as a joke

And your right, and if I were talking about that, you would be right. But specifically I'm talking Atlantic/Arctic/Antarctic.

Yes. Guess how much fructose is in corn syrup.

How'd you go from "You can't get HFCS from literal corn." to "how much fructose is in Corn Syrup?"

Because while you can't get HFCS from literal corn, you can get normal corn syrup from regular corn. Clearly you just didn't know there was a difference or what HFCS actually is & where it comes from but it's ok. No big deal.

Here buddy
HFCS is derived from corn starch. Starch itself is a chain of glucose (a simple sugar) molecules joined together.
When corn starch is broken down into individual glucose molecules, the end product is corn syrup, which is essentially 100% glucose.

What does the F stand for in HFCS and how much of it is in a solution that is composed of 100% glucose?

AI answers are so lame.

Not to mention the strain to come up with enough crops to sustain all of the new vegans.

it blows my mind that people still think this is some argument against going vegan. what do you think we feed animals before we turn them into food? on average, it takes 10 pounds of food to produce 1 pound of meat. for beef, this rises to 16 lbs. instead of dedicating the vast majority of our farmland to producing food for our future food, we could produce food for ourselves with a significantly fewer amount of resources.

sure. but i thought we established the implementation details aren't relevant to the question at hand. let's just pretend the transition is possible with minimal negative impact in our lovely hypothetical scenario here

no. there is no amount of money you can pay me to go vegan. livestock are far too useful for a lot of things besides meat.

aren't we running out of topsoil as it is?
wouldn't that be a problem?

my main reason for going vegan is to prevent unnecessary harm to innocent creatures. we don't need meat or animal products to enjoy tasty, healthy food, so i don't do it. you'll find that most vegans accept that some harm to animals is necessary and justified (testing drugs before doing it on humans, culling wild populations to save the herd, etc). we just don't believe that pleasing our taste buds is a good enough reason.

This is actually a calm, rational take on this situation. Which is a rarity on here.

Acknowledging theres no hard and fast solution, and than your lifestyle doesnt have to be THE lifestyle.

Applause

So doom the world for money that will be worthless in time? Probably not.

The world is more than people and their trash trail you know

The agriculture is simply not there for everyone to be vegan all at once.

since we're on the subject, i'm going to drop a video below that made me adjust my lifestyle. i think we should all be aware of the true cost of our food.

warning, graphic and disturbing treatment of animals found within

The agriculture is simply not there for everyone to be vegan all at once. Furthermore, many people and countries depend on export of meat and fish to be sustainable. Simply put, many countries economy would collapse and there would be a global starvation issue.
