It is no different than with animal agriculture, except on a much smaller scale. The problem also lies is in the way the world produces food. Re-envisioning farming to serve local communities, restructuring our communities around our local farms, people participating in producing their own organic foods would reduce many problems significantly. But as in most industries today, it is follow the money trail. The earths resources have been turned into commodities and utilities, controlled by the hands of a few, who make a ton of money off the system as it is. The world is brainwashed by the system. We were created to be gardeners, and to care for the Earth and the animal kingdom, not treat it as commodities and utilities.That's what I thought.
Vegans care about all animals, and I'm willing to bet you have one or two things made of leather etc.
Also, you have no idea how many different species of animals are obliterated and herbicides used to protect those beans and whatever else you need.
Cause the good farmers that protect those beans and greens and your quinoa and carrots, have to kill everything. Every last ground squirrel, gopher, mole, rabbit, quale, shrew, snake, turtle and frog so that you can have your kale salad.
Sigh
