The FT has a series “a new deal for the young” which has lots of sensible comments from young people, and one absolutely insane one, from someone who is either innumerate or *really* hates animals.pic.twitter.com/sTIzhx3UiT

The UK currently kill 2.6m cows and 10m pigs each year, so requiring nearly all of the 50m adults to slaughter an animal seems, uh, somewhat overly aggressive.

Put another way — the average person in the UK eats 60-80kg of meat per year (mostly chicken). You get 200kg of beef from a cow.

I like the "they hate animals" version. I love animals but I like the idea there is someone out there just pissed at cows lol. The idea of a cow being alive keeps them up at night.

Let’s be clear — people should eat less meat. What’s funny here is the guy suggesting that to encourage people to eat less meat, we should slaughter 3-4x the number of animals that we currently do.

I like the psychological dichotomy this would create in society. Not only would meat eaters be more healthy, they'd have a steely, butcher disposition. Could be a good thing.
