One of the big things coming from the World Economic Forum, and climate change hysteria, is that meat is ecologically dangerous, due to its carbon and nitrogen emissions, so meat and dairy farms must go, as is occurring in the Netherlands. As well, a diet of insects, processed of course, will replace mammal animal meat for protein. And, not eating any meat at all, as in veganism should be the logical conclusion of this. If so, how environmentally sound is a vegan diet?
The answer is that much like the cult of renewable energy and the jettisoning of fossil fuels, which ignores the cost of constructing a renewable infrastructure, a study has found that soybean products, a key protein part of the vegan diet, come from countries where cultivation of soybeans leads to habitat loss and deforestation. As well, there is the added cost, for the environmentalist, of transporting the soybean internationally, thus increasing carbon emissions. While the response will be to grow soybeans locally, many areas are too dry for this, so imports seem unavoidable, and certainly if the vegan diet is to become universal.
