    What if that line starts very slowly flattening out? Is that enough evidence?

    you’d have to show the causal link between vegans existing and the production flattening. what if it’s just that we run out of agricultural land, or a meteor strikes a major production region? we need to know what actually causes the change in the graph, not simply speculate that it could be buying beans.

      If we ran out of new land to use wouldnt it plateau?

      Isnt the line going up constantly evidence of constant addition of new land to hold more animals?

      I suppose they could be getting more efficient but thats the opposite of regulation.

        whatever you call it, we can’t attribute it to vegans.

        I’m assuming it is this in combination with new efficiencies (like the swine hotels in China)
