Why I am not a vegan

[Monica]

Worldwide veganism is the goal in a few decades?   All nations and all peoples?  No more backyard chickens for eggs? No more family cows providing milk/ dairy for the poor in the developing world? No more farm animals, extinction for all domestic livestock?  After all an animal who never lived is better off than one who lived on pasture, grazed daily on the land and was invested/ cared for by humans in exchange for milk.  No more manure, or bone meal for organic farms? Chemical fertilizer only? No more wool? 

I don't know, can't see it.

Sorry, I will clarify: I meant to say world-wide plant-based diet, which isn't vegan but predominately vegetarian. Yes to backyard chickens and family cows and goats. But an end to the massively destructive meat industry as a whole.

It is mathematically impossible for the planet to sustain the human population past the turn of the century, unless most people switch to a plant-based diet and largely end the meat industry. But with a plant-based diet, the planet could sustain many orders of magnitude greater numbers of humans. So there will come a point at which humans (as a whole) won't have a choice.
