Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural"
mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoWe throw so much veg and bread and everything away, I would say it’s likely there’s plenty for everyone to eat even if we stopped producing meat this very instance. But obviously no one is arguing for that because that isn’t feasible. We don’t have the numbers (yet) to force this.

Reduction in waste is also a key step yes, one in which gains are being made. Teaching simple preservation techniques (e.g. oven toasting old bread) is also a good route to doing this.

It’s not about the individuals, I wasn’t even thinking of a household throwing away food when I wrote the comment. But the tons and tons and tons and tons of groceries shops throw out because people didn’t buy it. The harvests that are left to rot because transporting them wouldn’t be profitable. I don’t think me throwing out three day old bread is going to be that much less wasteful than heating up the oven rehumidifying it.
