    to be clear, being vegan hasn’t stopped more animals from being killed year-over-year every year since the vegan society was founded.

      Far from the truth. So many deaths have been prevented. Global meat consumption in this reality is less than the reality where the vegan society was never founded.

        you can’t prove this. i doubt its even true: developing farming operations takes time and land. i don’t believe modern operations could be any larger now than they are, or that their rate of increase could be any higher.
