This article is so full of inaccuracies, false arguments & contradictions, that it would take me hours to debunk them all. Unfortunately people read stuff like this & believe it, so I& #39;ll fact check one issue: 1/cont...

He says that vegetables, fruit, nuts, cereals can be grown & produced here in the UK, & also that "vegan products often manufactured in factories or shipped half away around the world to satisfy the needs of your local vegan." 2/cont

It& #39;s true that a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, nuts, cereals can be grown and produced here in the UK. I would also add the fact that legumes, seeds & herbs can also be grown in the UK. These are all the plant groups a vegan needs to have a healthy diet. 3/cont...

Therefore, UK farming & food production is able to supply all the foods necessary for a UK vegan to be healthy. If all animal agricultural land is given over to plant-based ag/food production, the UK could be food self-sufficient. 4/cont...

The reason why some vegan products are shipped from abroad is because we currently live in a globalised food system. Isn& #39;t it interesting that he fails to mention all the meat/dairy/eggs/fish/seafood the UK imports, & animal feeds that are imported https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">5/cont...

So, vegans do not need to rely on food produced abroad, vegans simply buy it because it& #39;s available. Every time I talk to non-vegans about this, they always bring up bananas & avocados. Okay, vegans can live healthily without bananas or avocados; if we, in the UK, choose 6/cont

to keep consuming banana & avocados, then we need to either find environmentally sensitive ways of growing them in the UK, or find ways of globally growing & shipping them that doesn& #39;t contribute to #ClimateCrisis #ecosystem destruction & species #extinction 7/cont...

This is true whether we& #39;re eating a vegan or omnivorous diet.
So, I& #39;ve debunked just one of the misleading and contradictory arguments from this article. I don& #39;t have time to do more, as I& #39;m now going to do some gardening to support wildlife and my local ecosystem. 8/cont...
