    I don’t think the rate of increase could be any higher than it is, and I don’t believe my choices impact that.

        how could we even test whether the rate could have increased more? it’s not even a testable hypothesis.

          Using metrics of population of humans, animals slaughtered, and their products consumption. Regardless it’s better to use a line of caution when causing unnecesary harm rather than habitualizing a series of actions for decades. Billions a year is such a high number most people cannot conceptualize. Trillions if you include fish but they’re mostly caught rather than farmed. Still encourages trawling though

              Once again, it’s approximation based. Most of economics is theory. “Prove gravity is real.”

                we could set up an experiment to try to disprove gravity. what is the experiment you propose to try to disprove your story?

                  It wouldn’t disprove it lol. To prove or disprove gravity is extremely difficult, that’s why it’s a theory. My experiment would be everyone stops buying animal products though, wanna help with the experiment?

                    people made meat before people had money, so it’s celar that money can’t cause the production of meat.
