    I’m not watching your YouTube video. if you can’t articulate a compelling reason, just say so.

    I find it hard to believe that it is the biggest impact a single person can have. can you enumerate the other strategies it is weighed against?

    you also aren’t supporting your claims about affordability, health, nor ease with anything but anecdotal evidence.

      I’m not watching your YouTube video. if you can’t articulate a compelling reason, just say so.

      What absolutely trash reasoning. “Please type up a compelling reason just for me, I don’t want to watch a well researched and produced discussion on the topic.” It’s bordering on sealioning.

        I did watch that video. probably a dozen times. it gets posted often. I shouldn’t be expected to debunk an argument that isn’t made.

        I rewatched* it after I made my comment though, and it does not establish what they claimed. it doesn’t cite sources**, and it’s primary thesis is “it’s complicated”

        edit(s):

        * i actually listened to it. but just now, after i made this comment, i scrubbed it and i found:

        ** they do some pretty hard-to-see and also hard-to-research citation in the form of citing academic papers in the bottom right of the screen around the time they are making the claim. and let me tell you, poore-nemecek is the basis of the lca analysis (which i could have guessed), and that lca analysis is flat out bad science. it’s certainly not a compelling reason to be vegan.

          Those are very fair objections and that video isn’t perfect - I was only objecting to your apparent refusal to consume a video. A lot of content these days is produced in video form so it’s not reasonable to reject an argument based on media - some topics just aren’t well expressed in a written form.

          But, TL;DR I wasn’t criticizing your opinion or decision - just the common response of rejecting something based on the media it’s presented in.
