Now check up how much water is required for meat, and suddenly realise that you're maybe fighting the wrong battle here mate.
Regardless.
I'm aware how much water animals consume when compared to plants and there are crops that are simply unjustifiable and are running water reservoirs dry.
If we are to be intellectualy honest regarding preservation of resources, there are no sacred cows.
I agree, but all I'm saying is we can shame people for nearly any partaking in modern western society. Unfortunately, we ourselves are have no other choice thanyo partake ourselves. And our individual choices make very little to change the system. Therefore, I just find it funny that people lecture others on things like avocados. There's a hundred worse things, but just because someone stole an avocado isn't going to affect our society. We might as well start with bigger culprits, if we even think that going that route is relevant.
Either way this is a meme. No need to take it seriously.
I would also shoplift meat
Whataboutism is a logical fallacy. One has nothing to do with the other.
Exactly avocados being bad for the environment doesnt have anything to do with having the right to steal them.

Yes. Animals drink. They also pee, providing nitrogen fertiliser. It's even worse when they are raised on a meadow instead of in a barn as then you have rainfall, which percolates.
Never trust a statistic you didn't fudge yourself.
Don't forget all the water used to grow their food.
Like 70% of all our crops are grown to feed our livestock.
Have you ever thought about the massive water usage of international shipping?
No I'm serious. People complain about animal agriculture and then want herds of rowing bisons back. I'm actually not opposed to that either but that doesn't mean that there will be less animals eating less plants. And if we don't eat them then other predators will.
