I can't predict the future if thats what you mean.

Theres plenty of evidence that reducing meat production where possible will help everyone. Theres plenty of evidence that at least a mostly plant based diet is better for personal health for most people.

Less animals suffering is a plus too but you could leave it out and still come to the conclusion that there is something behind plant based and partially plant based diets.

this is a nonsequitur. my guess is you have tried plant based diet, and the amount of animal slaughter has only increased: chart

We've had this argument like twice already.

I never claimed that me being a vegan would end animal suffering.

If you would admit that the line on your graph would go up quicker if all vegetarians and vegans went back to eating meat, then you have to also admit it would go up slower if more people went vegan, vegetarian, or simply ate 25% less meat than they normally do.

You must be able to see the math there? Do I need to send you university debate level arguments? I can find them for you if you want.

and you still haven't seemed to grasp the lack of evidence for your claim.
