You’re being negative and pedantic.

There is no perfect way to produce consumable resources because it takes other resources to make them, whether it’s animals, land, water, fuel or whatnot.

Someone will always find something to be unhappy or offended with even if we grow oat milk in space in a vacuum and teleport it back to earth.

Reducing horrendous practices of abusing animals to have a milky cup of coffee is great step forward and people have the right to feel they’re making a positive impact without judgements that’s it not good enough or that poor soil’s nutrients are taken away instead now.

You can’t change the world being binary about these things, it’s a step forward in the right direction.

We’ll change world being agile and iterative, not by turning it into a waterfall project of “everything now is magically 100% environmentally friendly and everyone’s happy”.

No, I'm not. I get annoyed when people pretend plant based alternatives are a strict win with absolutely zero downside.

If you think about it, there actually is a perfect way to produce consumable resources, and it existed long before humans came along. Ruminant animals graze, migrate and their dropping rejuvenate soil in perfect balance with nature.

I'm not making the case that it's practical or even possible to feed 8 billion people in this way, but the way that we're depleting the Earth's nutrients with industrial farming is not practical in the long term either.
