"Looks at fields where migrants usually pick vegetables"
I got bad news for ya bud.
Time to tap into the seed vault? Terrible flavor, amazing roughage.
The article discusses that. H-2A visa programme can be used for seasonal work.
The entire animal husbandry industry all the way through slaughter, requires workers that show up daily.
I suppose it might be possible to have seasonal slaughters but milk and all the subsequent dairy products are done.
And any vegans that think is for the best, keep in mind it involves a genocidal like slaughter of all those dairy animals occurring within hours of workers being unavailable.
Feel free to show you really give a shit about these animals by getting ready to purchase them from these farmers and care for them for the remainder of the animal's life.
Ok, but they'd probably it would be only once, instead of the current unending cycle.
Dairy cows are slaughtered for meat once they're no longer productive enough anyway, aren't they? Either way they're going to die.

You didn't think they got to retire in a nice meadow, did you?
There's a massive difference between being killed for meat and being killed because it's too expensive to maintain them. We're talking thousands of tons of meat going to waste, not a dairy cow being killed at the end of its productivity.
😂😂😂
Vegans get off on acting like they're better than everyone else for eating 'clean' whilst willfully ignoring the damage that's done to our planet by shoving pesticides and fungicides into the soil and waterways.
While I admire the attempt, no there's simply no way a vegan will ever do something like this. In the mind of every vegan, they've already done their part by eating only plants.
Yes. Veganism has all sorts of issues. Their way leads to a world with less biodiversity not more. It is also propped up by the industrial times we live in.
They like to point out that some areas have been vegan for centuries while ignoring the mortality rates those areas had during those times. Famines were common.
There entire ideology is based on a biased examination of the data and their need to silence anyone that questions their dietary choices is a huge red flag. They and they alone are allowed to question others choices but what this t do isn't question, because they already think they have the answers so instead their ridicule.
Yes.
A wide range of animals only exist because we include them in our food chain. Saving a few samples still reduces the bio diversity.
A wide range of plants only exist because they are useful for feeding the animals we include in our food chain. There is no reason to grow feed corn if there are no animals to feed it to.
There is likely second order affects where the biom feeds of these two things and would disappear. This is a bit more hand wavy but we already have evidence that monocrops and pesticides are doing this.
