This is awful and seems par for the course for any dairy products you see in a typical grocery store. Plant based products in that same store are equally unethical and detrimental to the environment, ...
Good morning, Sugar. Such a beautiful baby. I am very happy to hear that you take incredible care of your animals. I'm sure they love you for it. However, I disagree with you about plant based products being equally unethical and detrimental to the environment. The data is clear...
Factory farming has a massive land footprint. Transitioning to a plant-based diet will significantly reduce it.
• Half of Earth's habitable land is used for agriculture
• Of all agricultural land:
• 77% is used for livestock (grazing and animal feed)
• Yet this produces only 18% of global calories and 37% of protein
• 74% of land livestock are raised in factory farms
• Over 90% of farmed animals globally live in factory farms
The inefficiency is striking—we're using most of our agricultural land to produce a relatively small portion of our food.
The PBF Institute sums it up well:
According to a 2021 report from Our World in Data, “If everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%.” In general, it takes around 100 times more land to produce animal-based meats than it does to produce plant-based alternatives.
