Where's an Environmentalist when you need one

Hard to find a comparative diet study that does not show veganism as being much less environmentally harmful than other diets.

I’m sure there are some trash click-bait articles that one can pull up that make a dubious rhetorical connection between veganism and avocados and pomegranates.

So why not go whole-hog vegan?

When applied to an entire global population, the vegan diet wastes available land that could otherwise feed more people. That’s because we use different kinds of land to produce different types of food, and not all diets exploit these land types equally.

Grazing land is often unsuitable for growing crops, but great for feeding food animals such as cattle.
Perennial cropland supports crops that are alive year-round and are harvested multiple times before dying, including a lot of the grain and hay used to feed livestock.
Cultivated cropland is where you typically find vegetables, fruits and nuts.
The five diets that contained the most meat used all available crop and animal grazing land. The five diets using the least amount of meat—or none at all—varied in land use. But the vegan diet stood out because it was the only diet that used no perennial cropland at all, and, as a result, would waste the chance to produce a lot of food.

Or come up with a way to burn it in small patches, but again - hard sell for desk drones.

Apparently, ground up snow crab exoskeletons act as an amazing and 100% eco friendly fire suppressant. We could grind these crabs up and drop them over the Cali fires. Its what I would do were I governor of that State.

If I were governor, I would figure out how to direct the fires to Los Angeles and San Fransisco.

Fun fact: Californians have ranked as the most hated Americans by other Americans for decades running.

That's actually a great metaphor for California.

Crabs in a bucket that all got cooked by their incompetent political ideology.

While JohnDonne stood by and let a genocide happen. If someone in my family was a murderer I would never associate with them again. But maybe that's because I value all life, including those of crustaeceans.

I said it was a metaphor. I did not mean actual crabs getting cooked in a bucket. Just Californians. I am not a monster.
