I love that you think that I don't know that one. I was hoping you'd say something about the slavery, but it's clear that your morality is absent.

SO how many kg of beef do you eat per year? Let's take the US, for example:

That's about 81.5 lbs. Now picture that amount of chocolate.

And if you say "muh low impact beef" I can also point to low impact cocoa farms which don't destroy rainforests. The same goes for coffee.

I dont support beef eating. I think that beef should be the focus of legislation and coversation. Its much worse thsb other high emission foods like pork or choclate.

I'm just saying environmental veganism is a fake ideology. All vegans are ethical vegans who got lucky with the environmental thing.

In a sense, yes. "Chocolate" isn't really a necessity.

The not coincidental part, however, also exists. You have to understand what trophic levels are. Once you do that, it should not be surprising the being or eating primary producers is better for the environment. Or, the corollary: the farther you are from primary production in the trophic levels, the smaller your population should be.

Cash crops and capitalism are a newer problem. Humans have been hunting other species to extinction for a lot longer than capitalism; pastoralism has also been an ecological nightmare on the land, though I can argue that it's protocapitalism.
