An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
I'm an ideologically committed vegan myself, but I think the headline and the first part of the article are disingenuous. The comparison needs to be "raw soy per calorie of food" or at least "raw soy per kg of food". I think it would be an even more powerful argument then, because I suspect the numbers would still not be in the animal agriculture's favour, by a long shot.
