    We could grow far more food by repurposing that land.

    if that were the case, why aren’t we? it seems there must be a good reason that in the over half decade since this paper’s publication, surely we could have revolutionized our food production. instead, even though veganism saw a steady rise from before the publication of that paper until 2020, it’s been in decline since then. somehow i don’t think that paper captured the whole scope of our agricultural system.

      People don’t go hungry because no one’s figured out how to produce enough food. People go hungry because of our current economic system. All I’m trying to show is that it is possible to feed a vegan world, and it would actually be easier. Actually creating a world where everyone is fed is a separate topic entirely and for people much smarter than myself.

        it’s even easier to feed a world with no living creatures. that doesn’t make it desirable

          We can live in a world where we hurt animals for food. Or we can live in a world where we don’t hurt animals for food.
