Oh you're being obtuse, okay. Maybe when you've grown up a little and can understand cause and effect you can have this conversation. Finish high school maybe? Get a degree, come back to me when you can actually talk with the intelligent people.

Billy is making marbles. Billy now has five marbles. Johnny buys all five marbles. Billy now has to make more.

One day, Johnny stops buying marbles. Question, does Billy endlessly continue making marbles forever? Or does Billy stop once he realises demand is causally linked to supply?

Let me know if this is still too complex.

The ones I used to buy meat from.

And if I and all other vegans started eating meat, they'd need to produce even more.

You do realise me eating meats means the world has to produce more meat right?

If Billy has 5 marbles, and Johnny asks for a marble, Billy now has 4 marbles. Billy will have to get another marble to have 5 again.

If Johnny doesn't ask for marble, Billy will still have 5 marbles.

Am I going to fast for you?

They did reduce. Fewer animals have been bred to feed me as my demand isn't there. Fewer emissions.

Yes I'm aware of that. You can go vegan AND protest oil companies, look at Greta Thunberg. Just because a bad corporation tells you to cut down on your emissions, doesn't automatically make that message bad.

I like the passion though, doesn't it feels frustrating being so anti-oil company, but defending the meat industry? They're both horrible industries destroying the planet, propagandizing the populace, and destroying our health.

Because people continue to emit carbon. If people went vegan, carbon emissions would reduce.

And Ive reduced my carbon emissions immensely. Now it's your turn.
