Great, thanks! I'm always open to learn. I'm trying to do what I can, but honestly have given up hope for humans to do what's best for the earth. Economics seem too important. In the end, we'll just wipe ourselves out and the earth will recover. But what I can do is think about the animals living a horrible live in captivity. I don't want animals to hurt, just to feed me when it's not necessary, so I don't eat their products anymore. Doing what's best for nature is a good second to that ofcourse.

On that point, we ABSOLUTLY agree, but I would add 'and for each other' to the end of that statement too! Many opposing opinions can find commonality. I will go away and spend the evening reading up from as many 'neutral; sources as possible but this is always a problem. Finding neutral facts that aren't biased by someone's agenda is very difficult!
I am genuinely sorry you thought I was being hostile, I can be brusque without intention so I appreciate it when people point out that that is how I came across.

True. It seems as if we live in a world of extremes now. Black and white, no room for grey, no room for common ground or a solution somewhere in the middle.

I agree, it is really hard! I speak from my own reading, but I don't do a big source check on everything I read. So who knows, I might have it all wrong aswell. I do see logic in atleast this point though: Feeding growing animals for a couple of months, or however long each species gets, to then kill them, process them and sell us their meat, can't be a very efficient way of using soy or any other plant. Not more efficient than just eating those plants directly ourselves.

It's okay, I understand and I believe you! It can be hard to understand someone's tone from just text, so I'm sorry for misinterpreting.
