Downvote if you just, but I would love if someone would link directly to the study itself. I’m not inclined to dig through multiple opinion blogs for the facts.

Welcome
Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.
What is Veganism?
'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'
— abridged definition from The Vegan Society
Rules
The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.
- Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.
- Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.
- Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:
- embedded images of text require alt-text
- posts with an image of text should have a transcription in the body or alt-text
- paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link;
- use the original source whenever possible for a news article.
- Content warnings are required for triggering content.
- Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future.
- before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
- if you're asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.
- Posts and comments whose contents – text, images, etc. – are largely created by a generative AI model are subject to removal. We want you to be a part of the vegan community, not a multi-head attention layer running on a server farm.
- Posts linking to Twitter/X or any similar site will be removed.
- No brigading, either off-site or on-site. An incitement to brigade includes two elements: a call to disruptive action and a specific direction outside of this community in which to take that action. Exceptions include:
- Calls to boycott.
- Calls to in-person protest of a government, high-profile individual, or company/organization.
- Votes provided they have a sufficiently broad target audience or provably effective controls against vote brigading.
- Petitions.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service also apply.

MODERATORS
How we’ve been indoctrinated to venerate these beasts and their foul effluvium as wholesome sources of sustenance. As if the very act of rendering them into culinary commodities wasn’t a depraved descent into subhuman savagery itself.
Yeah, don’t try to read it. That article is a bloviated mess. And, there’s no reference to the actual science. It’s just ideological masturbation that will sway no one.
Shame.
Can we just stop, all that Land could be 50% Forest and 50% Vegetables
I think that would be too much food.
You can't just title a post here as "Study:" and not link to any relevant scientific literature. I couldn't find any research referenced in your article, only youtube videos and news articles. Those are not problematic references in and of itself for a blog, but they are not studies which is what your title seems to indicate that you are talking about. Please just link the DOI of the paper you are talking about and stop self posting Medium articles with no references!
You then mention "20 compelling reasons to adopt a whole food, plant-based diet" which is not directly related to veganism. Most of your reasons come across as snake-oil cures to every aliment by practicing a plant based diet. Plant based =/= vegan. Remember where you are posting this, this is a vegan community after all. Reason 20 seems a bit strange as "reducing animal product consumption" is not what most vegans are trying to do. We aim to eliminate it the best we can.
I have messaged you on Lemmy two weeks ago regarding posting medium articles with tracking links (unique friend codes that bypass the paywall/loginwall) and I have commented publicly telling you to post the articles in the comments so that it is accessible for everyone to read. You still haven't replied to a simple question about if you were writing these articles yourself and self-promoting them, and I made sure not to allude to if such a thing was welcomed or not as I wanted a discussion about it and for there to be transparency regarding self-promotion and biases.
This is a warning that if you post any misleading articles, or plant-based health dieting blogs, that you will not be allowed to post here again. If you could just respond to the criticism in the comments that would be very helpful as it is very unclear what your intentions are and people may assume the worst or unreasonably overlook this as you can't assume anything from the little discourse there is from you.
