Veganism has truly taken off - as a lifestyle and as a diet - especially in Europe and the United States.
There has been plenty of discussion around the potential health and environmental benefits of a vegan diet, and the trend shows little sign of slowing down. Some studies predict that by the year 2040, as much as 60 percent of meat eaten globally will be created in labs or made from plant-based products.
But are we ready to make such a radical transition? And what are the hidden costs - socially, economically and environmentally?

Plant based folks eat more than just mushrooms and avacado -- at least I do.

As a vegan I ONLY eat nuts, avocados and cocoa, and it is a known fact that no one else on the planet eats nuts, avocados and cocoa, so big point made there. Excellent reporting by geniuses.

I'm legitimately confused at the idea that because some people living in rural parts of Africa and Asia depend on livestock for survival that means that people in the UK can't go vegan. How does that work?

@olivethevegan Год назад

I don't think this is particularly balanced argument at all, picking out avocados and Peruvian asparagus are as two examples of high carbon based plant foods is fine but vegans don't just eat these types of foods! It would be better to present statistics on the average environmental footprint of a vegan diet and a carnist's diet, rather than using these just these examples. Also, during the fertilisers section why is there no mention that more UK agricultural land is used for growing crops for animal feed rather than direct human consumption, and this also needs to be touched on when considering rewilding. when talking about water pollution there was no mention on how animal manure contributes to this problem as well.

This is poor. I’m not even vegan and I was throwing things at the screen. Who on earth was this made for? Many (maybe most) vegans already bear most of these issues in mind as a whole lifestyle, not just in their diet. And we’re not all missing burgers and steaks, hoping for a lab-made alternative. Dreadfully thin research and unbalanced premise.

It is interesting to see how nobody ever speaks about peolpe that are not on a plant based diet that consume avocado, esparagus, nuts and all these other goods.

@schmidcl77 Год назад

Yeah, because I eat grapes from South Africa and avocados from Peru all day long 🤦🏻‍♂️

@hoxxyhart Год назад

The fact that they showcase Quorn as vegan when it usually contains egg and milk is indicative of the quality of this research.

@djwoodymusic Год назад

Substandard output here from the BBC, ok can we now please have a video entitled 'The hidden costs of a non-vegan diet'?

@bammeldammel Год назад

All the people that I know on a plant based diet are also conscious about where there food is coming from.

@patreekotime4578 Год назад

You know youve done a bit of shoddy journalism when even the comment section vegans sound reasonable. BBCs own charts and statistics have shown beef to be the worst offender which convinced me to give up beef. And showed that coffee, tea and chocolate are also not great, which helped convince me to give up caffiene. 🤷 Shame on BBC for doing a targetted clickbait hit piece instead of an honest appraisal of the evironmental impacts of western agriculture.

@metalextras Год назад

People often forgot to mention that eating wide varieties of grain and fermented products with varieties of beans produce are the center point of being a vegan.

@Lucas-zd9yn Год назад

The reason this is so unpopular is that you made it seem as those are veganism 's problems, when they're in fact a problem in all our food industry. Not just groceries get transported by plane and, while showing a graph of the most water intensive crops, you did show almonds way below than dairy/meat so it would still make sense from a sustainable point of vie to eat only almonds instead of meat.

@beyondbeat_ Год назад

Let's not forget that more than 60% of the crops are to feed animals

@19Vxc76 Год назад

Didn't knew that eating fruit/cocoa/avocados from far away places or eating mushrooms were a vegan thing 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ if so then vegans are the majority 😂

@oliverralph663 Год назад

There is no mention of where the food for cattle comes from, most of it is flown in from the Amazon.

@aaronmau-schank1363 Год назад

This is a big miss by the BBC. Bad journalism adding to the general confusion on environmental issues.

@BigKeith805 Год назад

How about pointing out the footprint between dairy and plant milks? (which the BBC itself has published articles on). Even almond milk which is arguably the worst is better than dairy.

@manfredearl4092 Год назад

barely any mention of ethics, because it's something that mainstream media doesn't have an argument against. They can make these wishy washy videos making veganism seem about the environment but it's still infuriating to see an ethical issue being misrepresented as an environmental one that's "inconceivable" to get rid of because 'jobs'

@manfredearl4092 Год назад

human slavery employed loads of people, doubt you'd argue that that would be "inconceivable" to get rid of.
